I suppose the saying, "Jack Jill of all trades, master of none" applies to me with my crafting.
I enjoy all sorts of crafts.
I do all sorts of needle work, crocheting,
pine needle basketry, sewing,
beadwork and use my Silhouette to create! I also dabble in Graphic
Design. I make business cards, brochures, and work on our church
website.
I remember sewing my own Barbie Doll clothes when I was younger, and
then my own clothes when I was in Junior High and High School. I have
sewed
Raggedy Ann and Andy
amongst many other toys, coats and quilts all above the normal
clothes. Early in life it started out as a necessity as we were unable
to purchase very many store bought items. Now I sew out of
enjoyment... well... beyond mending that is!
I started beading ornaments in April 2009. I had a friend whose mother
showed me how to do it. After completing my first purchased pattern I
designed and beaded my first ornament (
Twin Llamas)
for my sister. I used paper and colored pencils to design that and
two others before purchasing the program I have to assist me so I can
do it on my computer now.
I bead purchased patterns as well as design and bead my own patterns. On
average the supplies alone run about $40, and the beading
of the sleeve alone takes 20 hrs. I sell most of my original design ornaments, with the sleeve, ornament, and stand for $85 + shipping.
If you’re interested please give me a shout!
All items are made to order therefore depending on how many current
orders I have, depends on how long it will take before you receive it.
Naturally if I need to design it, it will take longer than beading a
pattern I already have.
