Artsy - Crafty?

I have absolutely NO talents at all in the realm of artsy-crafty! Just never learned any of those cool things, maybe because I didn't inherit that particular gene, who knows?

Anyway, I admire and appreciate that talent in others, and love to see what their latest creations are.

Over in my links is "Mi Vida Azar", a site I wandered into a few days ago while looking for something else. It's a really cool site--she has a lot of pictures there, of things she made herself, and things others have made for her.

My Mom did a lot of that kind of stuff-knit, crochet, embroidery, quilting, etc. Then there was the plastics and yarn stuff she did. I'm not sure what it's properly called, but she made things like Kleenex box covers. It was some kind of plastic stuff, and she put yarn through the holes, following some sort of pattern? Whatever it's called, the stuff she made was pretty. I have several different things saved, and treasure them, not just for the beauty, but because Mom made tham.

One of these days, I need to learn how to do something creative like that. Meanwhile, I'll just continue admiring the skills and talents of others!
