I come from an extremely crafty family. My sister has a lot more ideas than I do as far as doing crafty things in her home, but I guess she just enjoys it more.

My Aunts 5 of them are just amazing! They do incredible things from making wedding cakes for family members to decorative items for the home. Christmas swaps are always hand made items. Every year you can't wait to see what ideas they have come up with. These items are then treasured year after year.

Does that help?

My grandmother who was wheel chair bound due to Rheumatoid Arthritis use to make barbie doll clothes, Christmas decorations and she would make amazing paint by number pictures using tweezers, glue, and fish tank rocks.

Here is a photo of the Geisha girl that she did in these rocks.

The photo doesn't do it justice.

Beautiful!

My dad used to do Intarsia’s before his Hips got too bad to stand on for long periods of time. He also used to make hand made knives and furniture. I’ve learned a lot from him!
