Default crafts i try to do lol


used to do cross stitching but ended up getting bored n never finishing em lol
like making cards for special occasions, great for getting the kids involved
love making jewellry but find that having two babies under two precludes having beads lying around (god the number of times dd2 has knocked one of my trays over n ive had to spend an hour picking the buggers up lol) dont get to do it much now but when the urge strikes i like to whip summat up lol
just started sewing (bought a cheap machine off ebay for £30 yayyy) have so far made curtains (lots and lots of em lol) cushion covers, skirt for dd, have also attempted a few clothes for me but most have gone a little bit wrong lol but im desparate to make clothes so will persist
oh n i make bags too made some nice personalised ones for dd1 and one for me and its really nice when people asked where you got em
have tried glass painting (love the peel off ones, have flowers on my window now lol)
made my own pictures to coordinate with decor (easy as p**s i just put the fabric in a frame and voila but have done it with fancy wrapping paper n the result is really good)
have stitched some little decorative stuffed 'pillows' i intend putting on the door knobs but again havent had chance to finish em
have some kits for candle making/doughcraft waiting for me to get the time and inclination to do them
have loads of recipes for making beauty stuff (lip balms, bath stuff n the like) but never seem to get round to doing em lol
think i have too many projects on the go to finish any of em lol
anyone got any tips on how to do crafty stuff with little ones running round, have tried tying dd2 to the chair but she always manages to escape (joking honestly i aint that cruel )
oh n if anyone knows where i can get cheap stretch fabric or the funky ones (kiddies stuff garfield, pucca etc) id be incredibly grateful
