What does your craft space look like?
Messy!!! ( most days) I love my vintage caravan and when tidy I am content to sit in there and craft away.
Ofcourse my crafting takes place all over the house too but the kitchen table is my main workbench
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Wool, card,( I make greeting cards)
What do you craft along to?
mainly music as I need to concentrate on a pattern. If I am making something straightforward I will watch programmes/films on my kindle.
Joelle's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
That is a difficult question but I would choose knitting.
I make many different items but love shawlettes and handwarmers the most.
Joelle's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
needle felting
I look longingly at felted items especially miniature animals/birds, they are so realistic and cute.
Who are your crafting heroes?
I believe all the busy crafters out there need credit for the hours of dedication and work they put into creating a piece. I take my hat off to them from the well known to those like myself who beaver away quietly.
If I am to name a few of the well known ones....
kaffe fassett
sasha kagan
but there so many more!
js-m crafts's Favorite Projects
Caravan Toaster Cover as it is so cute. I have a vintage caravan as my workplace and love all things associated with camping/glamping. Simple Cross Stitch Mural- I love this rose design and my house decor/craft items reflect this. I want to put this on one of my walls but am nervous about getting it right . Make a magic Yarn Ball - As a knitter I have a stash of leftover yarns, this is a great way of using them up and creating a unique ball of yarn that will match anything.
