    I was going to suggest a house move, or perhaps you would like to commission a ceiling

    The housemove will happen when Mum-in-law dies(she's 94, so I am not mercenary). Unfortunately she has her own collection of paintings, but we might still find a space when all is sorted. So don't give up hope! The ceiling idea is also not bad. I'll run it by the other half

    Hi there
    I just love making a mess - so any craft does the job for me
    I've had a go at knitting, cross stitch, tapestries scrapbooking but always seem to come back to the sewing - Maybe its because I get the results quicker - I used to do porcelain dollmaking for many years and also teach it - I did think about doing reborns but thats as far as it got, I tried ceramics which was ok and at the moment I am putting together another dolls house - but thats totally addictive and nothing else gets done.
    There is one craft I am facinated by and would so much like to do it but I just can't get my head round it at all .... thats Tatting .... I love the delicated finish and its a craft that you can take in your pocket ... but sadly it isn't as easy as it looks.. Perhaps I may have another go someday

    Fran, the basics of tatting aren't that diffucult, but I needed someone to show me rather than learning from a book. When I took up bobbin lace my teacher spent just part of a lesson to show me how, because I told her I had attempted it from a book and given up. So find a teacher, which is probably easier said than done.

    Ken, your painting is beautiful. I majored in art in high school & 1 year in college, many..many years ago. Took painting classes from time to time, after I got out of school. I have a few hanging in my home. But, they are not nearly, in any way..shape..or form..as good as yours. Your talent is a real blessing. But, I am lucky I can look out my back door and see white tail deer just as beautiful. I will just keep stitching...I do think that is a talent too. Lol, if you start doing ceilings, you could do a lot of traveling. Keep painting!!! Sandy

    Thanks for replying I'm sure you're right, its always easier to be shown a task rather than reading about it - in the meantime i've plenty of unfinished projects to keep me busy!!

    Ken, nice work! Do you sell in galleries? I used to and used to sell through a museum gift shop. But I hate the whole political mess of being in with the "artsy" folks locally. It gets crazy. I walked away from it for a few years, and now I am getting back into it I am just doing online sales or word of mouth.

    I do serious oil on canvas paintings of wildlife, recently did a miniature wolf on a button, and working on a cross bow saw at the moment.

    But I also do children's furniture with acrylics. This is one I delivered last week to a local chiropractor's office.

    Default I'm a digiscrapper

    I've turned my hand to most things but my latest love is digital scrapbooking. I love traditional scrapbooking but its just too messy, now I can do it from the comfort of my PC.
    Just made a memory book for my Dad's 80th birthday
    this is the link (its a big file so takes a while to download) as I also made it into a slideshow

    http://www.box.net/shared/fed3k1k0go

    thi is one of my efforts if you don't want to wait for the slideshow
    I actually have them printed in the states as its cheaper to have them posted from there than to get them done in the uk. They look great at 12 '' x 12''

    To Catvinnat - I, too like scrapbooking. Did you know that you can make edible cake images from your scrapbooking pages? I'm making one for my son this week - he's graduating from elementary school.
