Comments (88)AHHHHHHHHHH....memories! And what a journey it has been! I remember all the things mentioned here. Each time I thought I had another one...someone came up with it. I'm more "hippy" than hippie...LOL! Scarlett, I know the feeling! Those hipster jeans just don't fit right anymore! One thing I did learn to do back in the 60's and didn't see mentioned here were "Christmas Spiders". From the small glass Christmas balls and pipe cleaners, with sequin eyes. They looked like this...of course you've got to remember this one has been around for a good number of years now! LOL..ugly thing, isn't it? With new products and vintage jewerly, they now look more like this example. I made dozens of these every year..and sell most of them these days. We still use the Christmas ornaments like this. I'll never forget the year we decided to make this the family Christmas project! Neither will our 2 daughters! We all had such sore fingers. But, they treasure these ornaments now, and like myself use them every year. Let's not forget Santa and Mrs. Claus made from dish detergent bottles. With the dime store (then Ben Franklin) faces and hands, etc. They are still part of my Santa collection but I don't seem to have a picture of them anywhere in my on line albums. I still make a few of the old things...most often with a bit of a modern twist...using some of the easier to use products. The pasta angel is a good example of evolving pasta art. I do have problems finding the metal thumb tacks used for the candle in these. Someone mentioned the crochet covered clothes hangers. I'm just old fashioned I guess...I still do them. Along with little sachet bags to go with them. I love collecting the old crochet patterns and making stuff from them. These are the vintage pattern projects that I have recently finished. The shaded pansy thread colors are almost impossible to find these days. You can see some of my spiders in this basket...they are not Christmas Spiders. I call them my illusive, almost extinct pansy spiders! I wanted some really pretty silk pansy to put in this basket and couldn't find any...so I used the next best thing. LOL I think I should stop now! I don't think the "old" crafts will be completely lost...they will just evolve.

Comments (9)Send me an email (click "My Page" and then click "Send me an email") with your email address. I'll scan and send you some patterns to get started. I'm currently trying to scan all the pictures and instructions into the computer. The other ladies and I have collected/traded many patterns. Barb...See MoreAnyone here do needlework?
Comments (27)I have done cross stitch, embroidery,and needlepoint. Then I found quilting. I took my first quilting class at the adult ed program at the high school, 20 some years ago. Its cool that most of us in the class are still friends and see each other regularly. I taught hand applique at a quilt shop for a good while. But after I got cancer, for some reason, my interest in quilting waned. I think I didnt want to be involved with anything that took me away from giving my full attention to my children.So even 14 years later, I no longer consider myself a quilter at heart. But I do go to quilt shops with some of the girls - I hold onto the bolts, or help them pick colors. I dont buy a scrap of fabric. I still have my fabric stash, and of course some unfinished projects, so one day I will do some machine piecing, and try my hand at quilting. I can't feel the quilting needles anymore because of my spine, but I can feel the big quilting pins so at least I can piece. I may try to use a big quilt needle and try my hand at quilting in my hoop stand. I have to realize that my stitched are gonna be toenail catchers if I can hold onto that needle. So yes you can learn at Joannes adult ed or a local quilt shop. It is wonderful. I may take up knitting for my hands- I also have arthritis and maybe that will be good for them....See Morelauralex
