@EmotionsListener 

Thanks for posting this for us all!

• Do you participate in holiday arts & craft shows? If you do, what is your ‘best seller’?
  I used to, and the best sellers were always things like sparkly gemstone earrings in beautiful giftboxes. 

• Do you go to holiday arts & craft shows? What are your favourite crafts to look at or buy?

  I love going, I love the brightness and positivity of all the different crafters

• Is there anything you’d love to learn how to make?

  Crochet lol I am absolutely useless, how come I can knit and paint but not crochet?

• So with all this creative energy around, how are you feeling about your own crafts this week? Have you been working on anything new? Are you under the last minute holiday rush to get things finished? 

  Yep painting Christmas cards! I always start too late lol

Listening - One Step At A Time!

  My flower brooches and cards have been selling this year. I don't sell myself as I am autistic and struggle with the noise. I give them to a charity and they sell and keep the profits.

  I actually find the holidays triggering so I don't go shopping at this time of year unless I run out of supplies!

  I'd like to learn how to oil paint and do more wood working projects.

  I just realised that I gave away all of my christmas cards to charity so now I need to makes some more! This week I am painting wood boxed and adding gold leaf. Next week I am upcycling furniture.

  Behind, late start

  Have you been working on anything new? Are you under the last minute holiday rush to get things finished? Of course, I have had a lot of things going on and I have fallen behind on my projects. I am also trying something new for me. I want to find a beautiful Picture of a Pea *** with her feathers outspread so I can copy it on glass. Does anyone have some suggestions??
