My kids complain when I make another afghan, but they are always used when their friends come over. So I guess my afghans win hands down!
I guess I get the most compliments on collages,altered books, and paintings.
I have gotten the most compliments on covered photo albums. I enjoy making each one to suite the individual I am giving it too. My latest passion is crochet. I am finishing up a baby blanket for a friend.
I get lots of compliments on my old fashioned looking doilies. My grandmother would be proud!
My John Deere decorated kitchen always receives rave reviews. Especially the clock I made out of pictures of tractors.
Two things, my faux leather wall treatment, and in another room my 3D fern stencil wall treatment.
Like all the ideas and patterns
I get the most compliments on my crocheted and knitted afghans.
Everyone loves my seasonal wreaths. But my granddaughter loves the stuffed pillows I make. You can never have too many throw pillows!
I get the most compliments on a quilt wall hanging my friend made for me.
I enjoy the large choice of projects you offer.
I enjoy most anything, right now I need the push to get restarted, but with so many projects, how can I chose just one??????
What a GREAT BASKET. Would love to win it,
An old set of dressers my husband and I painted and put new hardware on….everyone loves them!
I’m still gathering up supplies and getting started! This website has been a HUGE help! Love all the ideas!
I love picture frames.
So many great ideas. I have made simple curtains and pillows. My place is very efficient, But , with all these inspiring ideas I can make some cool changes.
Whichever project I happen to have just finished at the time is the one I get the most compliments on. As soon as it becomes “old” or I’ve started working on a new one, the compliments stop.
The most comments I get is on my counted cross stitch pictures. I have them all over the house.
We don’t have people over, so none. 🙁
Afghans and Holiday decor.
love to craft always working on something, dresses, hair clips ,totes love the basket
I love the changing seasons as it gives me “an excuse” to change things around …my kids used to tell me it was because I just could not make up my mind and now that it is popular again I can always say that I am “adding ambiance to enhance the season”…lol
I have started back making jewelry and creating anything and everything I can with any medium I can get my hands on. I just love being creative.
My quilts get most of the compliments! Thanks for the chance to win the gift basket!
I get the most compliments on the chair cushions I sewed. Th dinning room table and chairs are wood, so not very comfortable to sit for long periods of time. We have a couple that comes over every Friday for game night. After many nights of sore rears, I whipped up some seat cushions from old jeans.
I always enjoy the inexpensive DIY crafts, taking flea market finds and making them nice again, a lot of fun and challenging at times.
the afghans on my couch.
Pillows, pillows, pillows, seems everyone loves a comfy, pretty pillow!
I reused some pillow cases as table runners. I just cut out whatever I wanted and sewed the ends. I used them on my end tables, people were always surprised that they were pillow cases reused.
The stenciled border my husband did in our son’s room that I designed and cut. Or the dresser that I helped design and my husband embellished and painted to look like a castle
I do not know of any home decor projects that I get many compliments on, but there are many other things that I have made that people like.
Probably the decorations on the front door, since they get seen the most.
Mostly do paper crafting and stamping.
I think I’ve gotten the most compliments on the wreaths and floral crafts I’ve made for my home as well as for others.
Probably the crib bedding for my daughter. Black and white with a little pink and lots of ruffles!
I made a fish and plant vase and then when the plnt was repoted i made it into a fish cndle with liquid oil and i lso etched the glass tons of complements
picture frames I decopaged (Sp) out of strips from finger paintings done by my caught when she was 2.

I have always loved making things for my home and for gifts. I dabble in everything from quilting to gourd carving.
I love making jewelry! Does this comment count as an entry for the basket giveaway?
Thanks!

im a paper crafter, ceramist, and I sew so I seem to have quite a collection of homemade home decor now!
I already do so many crafts with many items for the home, it’s endless creativity and it is so much fun to discover. I am always looking for more.
I love new ideas for all kinds of crafts. So fun.
