What is the best, or most favourite item you have made?... worst item? did it sell really well? or did you enjoy making more of one thing over and over? I would love to know!
With me, I find I make something , every now and then that's just not worth the effort, or it didn't come out right. Other times I try something and everyone loves them (including me!) yet they don't always sell!

    My favorite item so far is the doll I just finished last week. She is a 16" Tribal Fusion Belly Dancer and although I know I have to sell her, I love her enough to want to keep her. :) You can see her in my photo album. She is the black haired doll in the black outfit- kind of gothy looking.

        If I make something that's super-cool-neato enough to be a favorite, I'll keep it! Then I'll make more to sell, and for others to enjoy:) I can't pick a favorite item....I have such a range of crafts, it's too hard to decide! The item I use the most, that I have made, is Larry. Larry is a huge fleece plush octopus who lives on my couch. Everyone has to snuggle him!

          Thats my problem as well. I have a few items that I just love and am very proud of...and can't bear to sell. :) Really need to get a new dig camera to post pictures.

    I make a lot of my stuff for gifts. My two favorites so far are a lamp that I made from a basket for my mom for Mother's Day ('07), and a butterfly that I painted for my aunt for Christmas ('08). I just uploaded pictures of them on my page. There are a lot of things that I've done that I have forgotten to take pics of, but these are still my favorites.

    I've done a few costumes for Halloween over the years that I've been proud of - and a couple that didn't quite turn out the way I had planned, of course.

    I have to admit that picking favorites, for me, is like trying to pick your favorite child. I put so much of myself into my stuff that sometimes - even though they're gifts - I have trouble letting them go.
