not for all the tea in China
Some crafts I won't be attempting:
Although they have a bell inside them, and are made with pantyhose and flannel, I won't be attempting temari balls any time soon.
Those materials are the inner core of a temari ball...
the outer layer of a temari ball is thread. I don't mean embroidery floss either.
I mean thread. Each ball is wrapped with hundreds and hundreds of yards of thread and then intricately embroidered with tiny ribbons.
Pysanky is a no go...
Blow out the eggs and draw on them. Draw on them with a minute drawing tool and dip them.
Draw the most intricate patterns the universe can provide...
They look best displayed in multiples.
Tiny pieces of paper are rolled with a tiny pin-like object in quilling.
It makes me nervous looking at it.
Minature Fimo food.
For dollhouses I suppose.
There are an awful lot of people making Fimo food.
There are an awful lot of people making all sorts of things with Fimo.
I once watched an entire television program on making Fimo beads.
Twitchy.

I'll bring the eggs.
Angelas bringing eggs
I'll bring soap.
the balls with the thread though - yawn.
The second one looks too hard for me. I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination.
Fimo? It's fiyou not fime ;) That may only sound funny to me.
While that is a pretty snowflake, I don't think I can glue such tiny pieces together. Glue and me just don't get along.
That food makes me giggle.
Only one more day till Survivor! Wooooo!!!
I think I'll stick with the pink construction paper and red foam hearts with sticky stuff on the back (which I bought for my 10-year-old this morning).
I like handwork that results in useful items. I think I lived through the Depression in my last life.
Fimo beads remind me of every head shop in my college town.
I think I even had a fimo-bead inspired candle at one point.
The thought of which now seems to reek with patchouli (figuratively) and makes me twitchy, too.
