Boo!

Hello!

I've just found this site & it looks good so I hope you don't mind me joining!

I'm 21 so maybe younger than lots of others, that's what I usually find

I like all sorts of crafty activities, I get bored fairly easily so am always trying new things/ thinking of new ideas. So far I've done:

lace making
candle making
crochet
tatting
kniting
ornare (pin pricking - tiring work for me!)
lace (paper cutting & folding - there's no accent on my computer!)
beading
fimo modelling
egg painting
card making
scrapbooking

I think that everything! So I'm not particularly accomplished at any but at least I'm ameteur!
I'm best at tatting and card making & sold some of this work at a craft fair. I'd like to set up my own website to sell stuff & make some money & I've just finished work until October so now I'll hopefully get the chance!

Great to join you all
See you around

Hi Loz

Welcome to the forum I think you'll feel at home here as we're all pretty young - some in outlook rather than age

I'd like to set up my own website to sell stuff & make some money

Yep you're gonna like it here alright as loads of us do this so you'll find plenty of help, advice and support - just ask away

I may sound stupid here but what is tatting?
Thanks in advance

According to answer.com

1. Handmade lace fashioned by looping and knotting a single strand of heavy-duty thread on a small hand shuttle.
2. The act or art of making such lace.

Now I know

Aha - now I know too!!

^ I can post a pic of a snowflake or something I've tatted in the past -

I'll do it soon & put it in the 'knitting & needlecraft' section I suppose...

so watch out for it!

ps thanks for the warm welcome
