I definitely want to learn Tunisian crochet... so that's more of a future check mark :)

  • Crochet
  • Knitting
  • Tunisian crochet
I usually do all of them at the same time.
Every now and then, I do crafts, too.

- Crochet
- Knitting
- Sewing
- Tunisian crochet
- Crafts: now and then I fold origami or Fröbel stars
- Other techniques: cross-stitch embroidery. Right now, though, crochet and knitting are clearly in first place, and I have some sewing projects coming up.

Is concrete casting in?
Mel does it too.
Right, Mel?

I’ve also tried my hand at concrete casting.

Once it’s poured and dried, it’s time to plant it. It’s actually fun.

Doesn't the concrete stick to the mold? Or is there a trick to it?

Yes, concrete casting and concrete leaves, or planters. That’s true, it’s just as much fun as needlework ;0)

@ruthk Coat the entire mold with vegetable oil before pouring in the concrete; then, once it’s dry, it practically falls out of the mold on its own. Smaller molds, like cookie cutters, require more careful handling, but if you’re patient and wait until they’re completely dry, you’ll be able to remove them easily as well.

It works the same way with leaves. If you coat them with oil, you can remove the leaf from the concrete very easily. Here’s a picture

Josefa, that’s practically begging for its own thread ;)

@Nadeleule - your leaf is beautiful. Is the blue from the photography, or did you paint it?
I haven’t dared to try a leaf (rhubarb) yet. I think they’re really pretty as stepping stones for the path or as a birdbath.
