What does your craft space look like?
My craft space is a tiny corner in my apartment. Many times I sit on the floor with my machine and everything spread out around me. It's awkward but we don't have much room. I am dreaming of and pinning lots of ideas for my someday craft room.
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Of all my craft and sewing supplies I use the seam ripper and my fabric shears the most.
What do you craft along to?
When I was pregnant I watched a few seasons of eureka on Netflix, hunched over my big round belly. I usually craft to music on Pandora.

Favorite Craft
My favorite craft for the moment is sewing. Right now it's purses. A few weeks ago it was keyfobs. Before that it was appliqué t-shirts. I'm starting to dip into more of my vintage fabric stash to make lots of cute stuff for upcoming craft fairs.

If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
If I could learn one craft it would definitely be carpentry. I would love to create furniture.
Who are your crafting heroes?
McGuyver! I love making use of what I have on hand.
Laurel Bayleaf's Favorite Projects
My favorite projects are: Jumper Skirt Out Of A T Shirt - The jumper skirt is one of the very first projects I favorited on the site. It was quick and easy and didn't require much. Cycle Satchel - I chose the cycle satchel because of it s usefulness. Embroidered Brain Bag Nude And Black - Most interesting was Body Bags brain bag. It's clever and well made, so much detail in all their bags.
