Other than digi I crochet and do some craft painting. It's just simple wood signs for a tiered tray decor, and it switches every month. This is the latest:
My crochet is mostly simple stuff like dish cloths and baby blankets. I'm currently working on a blanket for myself in a black and red buffalo plaid pattern.
I've also bought a Cricut recently and I've been designing little sayings for wine glasses and coffee cups made of vinyl. I was thinking of maybe trying to sell them on Etsy.

Love this thread!!! Ya'll are so talented!!!!
So I have always loved drawing and painting. Then i went to a tech school for commercial art for high school. In college I took a few art classes.
Then life and babies... I stopped drawing and painting, but started sewing and quilting and some woodworking. I am always helping hubby with our home improvements.
Then in 2014 I had surgery and was forced to rest... I started painting again! I didn't realize how much I missed it.
Now I do all sorts of hobbies and crafting....anything creative.... paint, my cricut, wood... sewing... I love it all.
We are currently working on making a large craft space in the basement for my daughter and I (she is my mini me....teacher and crafter...it's like someone went copy n paste....lol)
Some of my art.
I only scrapbook now, but I used to thrift furniture pieces to rehab/paint/update and put in our home or give to friends. I still use one of my first furniture flips in my office. It was an old record player cabinet. It was brown, had brass hardware and was pretty ugly, but I liked it's bone structure and curved lines so I brought it home. I removed all the broken electronics, and spray painted the wood and hardware to make it good for storage inside.
I can't find the before photo, but this is what it looks like now.
It could use a touchup in a couple of spots, but it's worked well for the last 13 years and for the $20 price tag (which included buying the piece and the spray paint), I'd say it's served it's purpose. :thumbup:

And Cheryl, all this time, I never knew you did this! :w00t: I can't make a decent card, I tried really hard, and getting things straight- aligned was a nemesis to me. My Mom makes them, and I admire hand made cards.

I also make cupcakes! I sorta have a side gig- I get paid by my boss to make cupcakes for our employees birthdays, as well as making them for friends/family & through word of mouth. It's still VERY much a side gig- I do it more because I like to rather than to make $$. Here's my album of all of my cupcakes that I've taken pics of!
