I wish I had the patience to sew!
I'm lucky in that there are lots of little haberdashery and craft shops close to me, and crafting is something that gets taken quite seriously as a family thing to do.
My "thing" though is beaded jewelry, both stringing and stitching, though I haven't had much time recently.
It is something I really enjoy doing on winter nights when I can't be out riding my horse.
These are some of my older projects, unfortunately I don't have any photos of my newer stuff

I've lost count of the times people have asked if I sell my projects - I don't, but I enjoy making things as gifts, and if anyone admires a piece I've been known to make a copy for them. I don't like taking money for them though!
