I think that it does qualify. Not only artsty, intelligent too. Congrats. There are few that are artsy or intelligent, and you are both, according to your post.
Have a fabulous day :)

Hello crafty people! I am currently working on embroidering a baby quilt. Once I am done with the needlework, I will finish it off and put it safely away until the baby arrives in the winter.
I am always working on something to keep my hands busy, I have yarn set aside for a throw when I am done with the quilt. Once the throw is done I will start working on holiday presents.

I want to start making Amigurumi crochet projects. Currently making a T Rex stuffed animal for my little cousin! :D I have made some blankets and hats before, but this is really testing me on my ability to count!

Last year I dreamed of being able to start my own business and sell cute crafts and prints. Just a few months ago, my workload lightened up considerably and I was able to buy materials to start designing a few different jewelry pieces (earrings, necklaces) with cute pendants I created. It's fun so far and although I haven't started selling any, I like being able to make something pretty and wearable. Right now, I'm working on a few cute bug-eyed owl necklace designs.

Lately, I have been creating an art craft on canvas using ceramic mortar and acrylic paint. It has been a cool experience that I will definitely repeat again

I guess this would count? My husband and I are currently applying refurbished barn wood to a wall in our bedroom to make a headboard/accent wall.

I love to cross-stitch and been making Christmas ornaments for family and friends. About 30 done so far with many more on my list to do. Especially love Santa patterns always looking for those I don't have.

I once tried to create an air conditioner for my wooden doghouse. It was something I thought would help. I ended up burning the whole doghouse 😂.
I failed miserably.

My current "crafty things" are felting (scarves & hair accessories), resin jewelry, and embroidered cuff bracelets made from felt, ribbon, and recycled silk sari trims.

My two main crafts are crocheting anything and everything, and making polymer clay earrings. I have been working on a crochet steering wheel cover for my boss's birthday (she has only been asking for one for three years, oops!). When I finish that up, it will be time to start fall/halloween themed earrings, which are my personal favorite to make, wear, and HOPEFULLY sell!

Have you found any good apps for journaling online? I'm more of a scissor and glue gal, but I'm trying to understand what's available online these days.
