Should've noted the first post was a couple years ago..... same question, is anybody allowed to send picturesof their crafts?

Is it like those slightly-3D acrylic pieces where they pile on the paint until it sticks out of the canvas?

Hiya :)
I love Pintrest!! Sooo many good ideas!
My difficulty is that I find too many good ideas; I start one, then find another that catches my eye before the one I am working on gets finished. Evidently, I am not the only one that has this problem. My local library has a class, one day a month, to work on unfinished Pintrest projects. Of course, I am too fixated on the project I am working on right then to even get to go.
I think that will be my goal for this month. I will make it to the library's Pintrest Day.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I’ve recently started making my own rugs for family and friends! This idea was inspired because I had just moved to my first apartment and wanted a large rug, however, I did not like the price for a big rug. Naturally a creative person, I decided to make my own! After a year of scouring the internet about rug tufting, I took the leap to start about a month ago. Acquiring all of the equipment has been a little expensive, but finally having a creative outlet has been worth it! So far, I’ve made four rugs (a bass for my brother who loves fishing, a portrait of a former instructor’s newborn granddaughter and his business logo, and currently working on a logo for a former coworker), and have several orders in queue to start on!

My crafts always shift but recently I put together a decorative desk shelf from wood I had stored. My inspiration all came from Pinterest, of course 😂

Have you found any good apps for journaling online? I'm more of a scissor and glue gal, but I'm trying to understand what's available online these days.
yepp!!
There is an app called "LunaDiary". Its theme is moon and the lunar cycle. feels really calming and peaceful plus is saves the pages/content in your account so whenever u login from other devices, its all there. also easy to use but has paid theme packages.
Thank you for the app idea. I'll check it out tonight! Is there a way you can earn a credit of some sort if I mention you turned me on to the app?
Thanks again :)
no there is not, but thank you for asking.
