A question about : craft ideas

Hello, I've never been in to crafts etc and I'm not very artistic. However, recently I've had a strange urge to take up a crafty type hobby. Don't know what or where to start. Any ideas please.

A question about : Rug Making help

A friend gave me two lengths of the 'webbing' (don't think that's the word) that you use for rug making.
I've completed a pre printed rug kit before but want to draw my own design this time. The only problem is there is already a design on one side. Is there anything I can use to 'paint' over the design?
thanks

Best answers:

• Just draw your design on the plain side and the back will become covered naturally.

A question about : The Crafty (Magazine) Review Thread!

Welcome to this review thread. a place to review and talk about your favourite crafty magazine.

Over on the Cross Stitch Cafe thread, we often share our thoughts on the latest stitchy magazine offerings. Looking back these posts are invaluable at reminding us what was published but these posts do tend to get lost amongst the general chit chat so I thought they would be worthy of their very own thread!

A question about : Sewing-what have you made this week?

I have loooked for a similar thread but can't find one. Please forgive me if I have missed one already in existance.

My greatest pleasure as an OS MS is sewing, I knit, rag rug and cook too but sewing is my favourite past time. I was retired from teaching on health grounds in 2006 and since then have only actually made two items, 2 peg bags. I feel I need encouragement to start sewing again and more especially to finish items I started years and years ago.
