Arts Crafts
Do you do arts and crafts with your kids, or have arts and crafts as a hobby ?

How many of you enjoy arts and crafts as a past time ?
It seems that some of the more "old fashioned" crafts have been relegated to the older generation. Can you knit ? Can you do needlepoint ?

Yes I can knit, crochet, quilt, patchwork, bead, cross stitch, embroider, tapestry, have a go at a lot of things. Try to pass on my skills to children either at sunday school, of primary schools and to the local children in the neighbourhood. used to run a craft club at my old church.
My son who is now 20 has had a go at a lot of crafts and is now wanting to have a go at making a quilt and is quite happy to sew on his own buttons! He has inspired me a number of times to try something new!
It is upto the older generation to pass on their skills so that they are not lost.
