My most memorable crafting experience has been pretty recent actually. I’m in an community service organization and we always make things for our “littles.” It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a little sis and I decided to once again after a few years. It’s one of those things where your main priority is to help guide them through the process of being a good role model. Except…well, I’m a huge spoiler and crafter. I love making pillows! I think they’re so fun and adorable. I never expected my pillow to turn out the way it did.

…

Completely enormous and almost bigger than her to carry. I used hot glue gun and needles. Poked myself, probably bled a little…and I’m happy that she loves it.

Here’s a picture! Far right :)

so far i’d have to say my most memorable & humorous diy project to dater has been a shredded knit sweater – i was unraveling the knit when my mother walked in and commented on what a beautiful knit sweater i was holding (she hadn’t seen that i was ‘destroying’ it). she then proceeded to ask whose it was. i grinned and told her it was hers. she then lectured me on how i can’t go shopping out of her closet without requesting permission first. some of the best materials to diy just so happen to come from her closet.

One of my most memorable crafting experiences: my ‘Martini & Beads’ party. About 8 of my closest friends piled into my apartment. I mixed pomegranate & cranberry martinis (I also had cranberry juice & wine for those not wanting to partake in ‘spirits’). We snacked on water crackers with cheese spreads & gourmet cookies. All of us spent time stringing various necklaces and bracelets. My friend Sandra told stories of her trips to Africa. My friend Corrie brought jewelry for me to repair, all the while laughing that she should just junk it all and have me make her all new stuff. I constantly circled the room with tools, refreshing drinks, and offering guidance & crafting ideas. Traci rummaged through my stone collection and selected beads to string that matched her outfit. My best friend Leatrice arrived later, modeling a jewelry set that I’d sold her years ago, looking fresh off the runway. We commented on a movie playing on TV (Collateral, with Tom Cruise & Jaime Foxx). It was a fun & FABULOUS night.

well, where to start…does a hair-craft experience count, too! haha …guess not! ;)

but once I tried to craft a T-Shirt the “Rock-Girl” Style, kinda…and ripped, cut, and pined and pined..all over the edges… than I tried it on..at least wanted to …but before i even got my head through..you might know what happened already..the whole “construction” fell apart! shame on me! it was a sad, yet hilarious disaster! So for instead of making a special, stylish & trendy T-Shirt, I got made a pile of a white ripped T-Shirt!

Blush..but things got better and I learned from my experience of not cutting off, too much material! :)

Loved Loved to try out all the DIY Goodies from Erica!

Fingers Crossed!

@Lorena, word to that! Every single time the glue gun comes out, I burn myself! lol

One of my earliest and most memorable craft experiences was working on a patchwork quilt with my Grandma. She owned a fabric store at the time, so my mom dropped me off at the store during my summer vacation, and Grandma got me started on this pieced quilt. I was around 8 or 10 years old– I don’t think it was the first time I used an iron, but I burned my forearm pretty bad. I still remind myself, “watch out for the iron!” when I’m all excited about sewing or crafting, and think about that burn! And of course, I still have the quilt squares that I haven’t finished or put together yet… one of these days… :)
Looking forward to PSIMT the book!

My first crafty experience is probably my most memorable because its what got me inspired to craft in the first place. I was 7 years old and I made a plasticine man, he was pretty dreadful – he only had 1 and a half legs for starters! I decorated him with a cocktail umbrella and stuck my crafty masterpiece in my Mum’s shop with a sign saying ‘Plasticine Mam for sale only 20p’. I’d come down to the shop every day after school to see if it had sold, but sadly no-one wanted my deformed character, til one day I came back from school and Mum announced the plasticine man had been sold and from then on I couldnt stop making things – It was only years later that my mum told me she had ‘bought’ it because she felt sorry for me!

I’m going to have to go with my most MEMORABLE crafting experience. To save on the cost of my wedding, I decided to make a lot of the things myself. I bought silk hydrangeas from a local craft store. I, myself, had never done any sort of floral arranging. However, I managed to create beautiful bouquets, corsages, flower girl pomanders, and even topiary centerpieces for my wedding. In addition, I put together all the wedding favors… cellophane bags filled with white candies. I printed off tags on coral colored vellum paper, punched holes in them, and tied them to the bags with ribbon. It was definitely a lot of work. I spent many a long night… my thumbs were blistered for weeks due to my incessant use of hot glue!! But, I wouldn’t trade those days for the world!! My wedding was beautiful and it was truly a reflection of me. I just recently celebrated my 5 year anniversary!! Thanks for sharing these memories with me…!!! I love all things DIY, and Erica’s book/website is awesome!!!

One of the most memorable moments of every craft I’ve ever done which involved a glue gun is burning my fingers with hot glue! Happens EVERY TIME it’s like a law of glue guns thing. I’d love to win a book :-)
