Can we show off our crafts?

No, AnnaMarie, I didn't. I probably should have put something on the back, to hide it. The pictures in my pattern book (for the ornaments) had 2 designs put together like that, front and back, held together by the outside border. Should work fine!

Does putting together furniture from IKEA over the weekend count as a craft?
I made two of these, with a thinner column of shelves in the middle:

This will hold lots of books, board games, and toys!

I hope to finish this handy gateleg table later in the week...this will make a cute drawing/writing desk for the kids and won't take up too much space since it folds up. And I love all those drawers for pencils, markers, crayons, paint, etc:

You put together something from Ikea!? Seriously - that is an accomplishment! I would be totally lost

I am able to screw in a light bulb but technical stuff like assembling furniture - nah (I think that you did post this in the correct thread!)

Shasta, it's a polymer clay cane. I've made them for a long time but never tried one with a word before. Have a look here to get an idea of what goes into making a cane:

There's lots of info about polymer clay at that site, too!

I love that gateleg table. That is so cool. And bookcases always count.

Here is my attempt at Pennywise. But had no pattern to go by.

Good evening. I know drumming isn't "technically" a craft I guess, but I make music! I drum in a band called Muso Bango (means women who drum) and I play the Djembe. Here's a pic of us (i'm wearing my "lucky red tights" head scarf), drumming at a local Bonfire Night.. Not too clever with the posting of pics, but here goes.
