I love sewing, needle felting, painting, embroidery and anything DIY. There are also a lot of crafts that I dabble in. Like stamping, card making, making stuff with felt sheets, using fimo clay, beading jewelry, and almost every week I find something new to start getting into. The list just goes on and I love doing it all! Any supplies for crafting is always a great thing to receive in a swap!
