Feeling crafty...

I visited a very cute little craft centre with my Mum today, and it was lots of fun to look at all the different items people had made. All manner of crafts were on display...paper items, hand-made cards, decorated wood, needlework, fabrics of all sorts, beads and lots of knitted items. Whilst I've always loved browsing at craft centres, I've never really got into crafts myself. I don't think it's because I'd be hopeless, but because I've always seen it as something I don't have time for. I was really happy with the invites and other stationery that I made for our wedding, but aside from that, I've never really made anything. Maybe I've never recovered from the trauma of my sewing teacher at school making me unpick and re-sew a pencil case way too many times! But now seems like a good time to do something a bit creative...something to provide me with a little distraction from everything else that's going on. But what??? I want to start with something simple enough that I won't get frustrated and throw it in the bin. Maybe make something Christmassy...cards? Maybe a simple knitting project? If so, what?

Any ideas and advice from crafty bloggers would be much appreciated...I promise to blog photos of my efforts, however pathetic... :)
