Description

The listing, Crazy Random Craft Lot!! :D Answer Questions For More Stuff!!! has ended.

For the sewer, jewelry maker, and all around crafter!!

I've got ricrac, naked jewelry, watch faces and bands (batteries NOT included btw), zippers, hem and bias tape, buttons and bells and beads, something stretchy and shiny (but your guess is as good as mine as to what it is!! Lol) feather trim, fat quarter ish size fabric, thread, vintage appliqué, leopard print ribbon, and last but not least, plastic bobbins. Lol

This is just to start!!!!! I will be asking questions through updates and comments throughout the auction for more stuff to be added!! The "more stuff" may be acrylic paints, more jewelry type stuff, fabrics, sewing machine needles, ribbons, threads, etc etc etc. :D and I am open to suggestions. Need something specific, ask and you might receive! (hehe if I have it, you may have it. If I don't, your s-o-l. Lol)

Stuff will be added for the first answer to each question, then for answers I just especially like. Lol definitely stuff added for creative answers, bc after all, we're all creative people or we wouldn't be looking at this auction, right?

And of course, this is free shipping, with the potential to get huge! I am not placing any restrictions to the size or number of boxes this will get shipped in! Please bid accordingly. ;D

So! To start this off, my first question is (drum roll please!)--

What is the funniest thing you, your spouse, you sister, your kid..anybody..has had to say about your craft room, table, blah blah blah..?

Second question!!

What percentage of your craft projects do you carry on to completion?

I want complete honesty!! no lying to yourself! :D Have fun everybody, bc that is what this is all about!!

Questions & Comments

Well now, I have like 15 Bingo Bags cutout not sewn, a loom scarf started, a mile a minute afgan one row done. My craft room looks like a hoarders dream room. My sisters tells me this all the time.

May 7th, 2012 at 8:53:13 AM PDT by

This sounds quite a bit like me! :D Out of my personal "hoard", a bag of gold bells, a thimble, and sage green blanket binding has been added for you!

May 7th, 2012 at 10:12:54 AM PDT by

Does creating business websites count? If so, I would have to say in the last 3+ years about 95%. I haven't been doing crafting of any kind in that time until just recently. I have two cross stitch projects and one crochet project that I work on while I am either waiting for downloads, uploads or proofreading tasks from my online job. No, the online job does not include the site building. I build websites and coach others plus work as a full-time freelancer. To busy to do much crafting and didn't have any projects here where I am now. Thanks to Listia that is changing rapidly. LOL

May 7th, 2012 at 7:35:18 AM PDT by

if it's creative, I think it counts, which means you are doing waaayyy better than me at 95%! Lol I'm adding 4 embroidery threads for you!

May 7th, 2012 at 10:10:54 AM PDT by

OMG, Love this auction .. can you add beading needles or needle threaders? .. thanks :)

May 10th, 2012 at 12:04:50 PM PDT by

Darn app..I responded, it just left a new comment instead of reply.

May 11th, 2012 at 3:46:11 AM PDT by

Ok I bid my highest of 10,000 and got outbid. Great auction!! Good luck!!

May 14th, 2012 at 7:00:15 AM PDT by

Thank you!! And I greatly appreciate your high bid! Shipping this is gonna hurt. ;D

May 14th, 2012 at 7:01:40 AM PDT by

I love coming back to this page just to see what you are adding and what everyone is talking about. I had a super long dentist appointment today and your cheering me up :) Oh, most quilters call it cheater fabric...LOL...but I like your name too....lazy man's (or woman's) fabric :) They should have a funnest auction badge

May 10th, 2012 at 9:21:33 PM PDT by

Cheater fabric! Makes mucho sense! Lol eh, dentists....:P...adding a craft storage thingy. I think you earned it. ;)

May 11th, 2012 at 3:49:20 AM PDT by

Ugh. I need to reorganize my craft stuff. Again. :P It took a ridiculous amount of time to respond bc I know I have needle threaders. Unfortunately, the only ONE I could find is ghetto old and a bit confusing. Lol well I'm adding it anyway, plus a pack of size 11 sewing machine needles bc I feel bad about not finding a better threader for you. Very sorry. But, if someone posts an auction with a better one or a bead needle (which I don't have), I will add another item! :D

May 11th, 2012 at 3:45:25 AM PDT by

Bob Ross was a commanding officer in the Air Force, he grew tired of being a big meanie to everyone and having to say things like, "Go scrub a toilet with your toothbrush..." LOL so he wanted a new career where he could be relaxed and happy. That is how he ended up becoming an artist.

May 11th, 2012 at 10:27:02 AM PDT by

Yay! My favorite bob Ross fact. Well, maybe next to him hating his hair. :D adding price tags! Bc ya might as well sell your masterpieces when everyone gets tired of them for Xmas. Lol

May 11th, 2012 at 3:52:42 PM PDT by

Just waiting' for rancin to comment..got a few things special for you!

May 11th, 2012 at 3:55:20 PM PDT by

WOW I thought I'd never get to the bottom and find a place to write, this auction is awesome!!!! I started with scrap books back in 2000. Now my main craft is beading and jewelry. I'm making $$$ at it and putting it on Listia. I also have found that at times I love to paint with acrylics, do different arts and craft projects too. Recently I endevored to make paper beads from a receipe I located. But the most enjoyable project I do is get my family and 5 wonderful grandchildren their birthday and Christmas gifts. Then the JOY I get back are the SMILES when they open them each year is soooo worth the time it takes to get them each year.

May 11th, 2012 at 7:09:25 PM PDT by

I love how diverse you are with your creative outlets!! That is how I strive to be! :) I want to try it all! For you, my dear, I'm adding an eclectic bundle - a bottle of acrylic paint, some mini rubber stamps, some naked pin backs, and a brown sheer gift bag! :D and check out my latest update to see if you can figure out what my "riddle" is! ;D

May 11th, 2012 at 7:17:45 PM PDT by

Hey, Bob Ross was a guy my Dad used to work with in the 70's!! Tall, dark haired and had a red headed wife and 2 kids,a boy and a girl ?? I hope that's the one?

May 11th, 2012 at 9:51:15 PM PDT by

Haha! Well..I was talking about the happy little tree painter, but you know of another Bob Ross, so I'm adding something for you anyway! ;D how about 2 crochet hooks?

May 12th, 2012 at 6:10:54 AM PDT by

Fun auction so I think I will bid and play along.

I make boobie nursing beanies and my son walked by (he's 22) and said "why does it look like your crocheting a boob??" and I said "um cuz I am!" lol his shocked expression was priceless!

I finish 100% of all of my projects thanks to my Listia auctions making me finish them! Lol

May 12th, 2012 at 5:30:49 PM PDT by

Hehehe I am definitely going to save some credits from this auction for one of those. :D my sis said she wanted one for every ethnicity. Lmao adding some naked jewelry pieces. ;) ;) (2 necklace clasps, 2 clips, and safety pin style pin..look in the pic, it's a little better than it sounds lol)

May 13th, 2012 at 4:52:18 AM PDT by

Hilarious Boobie Nursing beanies!!! I love it do you sell them on here? Thank You for a much needed laugh!! :) That really cracked me up FunMom!!

May 12th, 2012 at 8:11:36 PM PDT by

What do you get when you cross a snail + a couple trees on a hunk of metal and plastic over paper? Yup, that's the question. There is a hint in the auction! Find it and you get those + I will add more! :D
I guess I am not smart enough for that one...I looked but do not get it, I am stuck on DUH!!

May 12th, 2012 at 8:19:00 PM PDT by

Lol my husband thought I was crazy. He couldn't find it either, that's why I added the other hint. but for your effort, two leaf rubber stamps! :D

May 13th, 2012 at 4:48:58 AM PDT by

Craft punch? Just my guess at the riddle....LOL

May 12th, 2012 at 10:18:43 PM PDT by

Yay! Its a couple craft punches, in fact! And I am adding 2 more! A flower and a butterfly. You have had my back this whole auction, I think. :D so, I stole a piece of extra fine sandpaper from my hubby's stash to add as well. ;) shh, don't tell..

May 13th, 2012 at 4:47:15 AM PDT by

I lost a cat once. I was looking all over the house for her. I'd gone into my son's bedroom and noticed an article of clothing on the floor, I opened the drawer and screamed! out popped the cat I was looking for. I'm not sure how long she'd been there but she was alive and OK.

May 12th, 2012 at 11:29:05 PM PDT by

Ha! That has happened to me but it was my bathroom vanity, under the sink. But I have a pic where both of my cats are laying in my craft area and they blend in so well, its like where's waldo. Lol adding 3 iron on heart appliqués!

May 13th, 2012 at 4:44:52 AM PDT by

The lost animal question... My Sister's kids had a hamster who used to let himself out of his cage often. She did not know he was out and the kids came to her all upset because he was not hiding in the closet like he usually did. They searched the whole house, moved furniture and looked behind things even looked in coat pockets, but no Hermie. She was wondering where he want and and she decided to do some sewing...yup he was inside the fold away cabinet of her sewing machine, snoozing away!!! She was very grateful he had not pottied in there!!
Then one more, one of my cats disappeared and she was inside but we could not find her anyplace! I was getting worried because she used to come when I opened the canned catfood, but was not showing up!! I thought maybe I would go to my craft area and do dome work and when I opened my craft cabinet, which my boyfriend had put some boxes in front of, who exploded out of it but Sage the cat! Boy was she mad too, she went right to her bowl and demanded to be fed! She was only gone about 6 hours but acted like it was 6 days :)
Thankfully we have never had a horse disappear on us!!

May 13th, 2012 at 12:29:36 PM PDT by

Haha! Awesome! Craft stuff must just be soo comfortable. Lol I'm adding a yarn cutter pendant (it's really neat!) and a couple packages of reflective ribbon tape. :D

May 13th, 2012 at 5:09:24 PM PDT by

Barbara~ i am with you... i never thought the comments were going to stop, and now i forgot what I was supposed to write. I am a crafter of all sorts. I began with dried flowers in the 90;s and moved on to holiday (mostly christmas) then painting, and most recent was card crafting and sewing. Evey closet in my house is filled with oganizers of craft products. this auction looks amazing!

May 13th, 2012 at 4:56:44 PM PDT by

Lol that was exactly what I was going for! For you I'm adding a Christmas beading ornament kit (says it makes 16) and a ten pack of watercolor/stamping cards! :D

May 13th, 2012 at 5:11:28 PM PDT by

Hey everybody!! We are in the home stretch! Get your bids in! I'm adding some mini knitting scrapbook decoration fillies, 3 more rubber stamps, a heart shaped hole punch, and 2 embroidery threads! Have fun!

May 13th, 2012 at 7:12:55 PM PDT by

My answer to question 1: the other day I was working with my hot glue gun on a project, and my six year old said, " so what is your job exactly, you just make things all the time?"

May 14th, 2012 at 12:20:25 AM PDT by

Blasted iPhone. :) my reply just commented.

May 14th, 2012 at 4:50:43 AM PDT by

Bahaha!! What did you say back? I'm adding holiday photo cards (pack of 10 and includes envelopes!) :D

May 14th, 2012 at 4:49:59 AM PDT by

2 hours left! Whew! I'm very excited! So excited, I'm adding a paint palette and 2 white lace trims. :)

May 14th, 2012 at 5:06:05 AM PDT by

Btw, it's too late to snap a pic, but you should see this pile of crafting heaven! Huge! MaYbE it will fit in a large flat rate, PrObAbLy going to have to ship in more than one box tho! But it may depend on how many more comments I get....;) ;) comment and bid! Its your last chance!!!

May 14th, 2012 at 5:09:17 AM PDT by

Oh no! Can you only update so many times?!

Well, next question is here in comments!!

Who's mama was nicknamed "big Martha"? :)

May 8th, 2012 at 1:00:00 PM PDT by

I complete about 90% of everything I start. Once and awhile I'll get a bug up my butt to try something I don't usually do and inevitably those projects are the ones that never get finished. LOL I'll stick with what I know and I'm good at. Great auction!

May 7th, 2012 at 4:55:15 PM PDT by

Lol I think my wild hairs are the only ones that will definitely get finished. My last wild hair was painting, so for you I'm adding a couple paint brushes!

May 8th, 2012 at 5:07:19 AM PDT by

Okay the game sound fun. I quilt, craft, cross-stitch, but my granddaughter is an Artist and jewelry maker (she is 18 and quite talented, yes I am partial). So any addition would be used and I complete about 99% of my projects (in time). Good selling to you. ;-) fanned

May 7th, 2012 at 6:46:39 PM PDT by

Wow. 99%?! Props to you! Adding cross stitch ribbon!

May 8th, 2012 at 5:08:09 AM PDT by

fanned and watching. This is an unusual auction and sounds like a lot of fun. I only finish about 65% of my crafting and/or scrapbooking. You did say to be honest right? And the funniest thing was when my four year old grand daughter came in and asked me and you call this room "what? again". lol

May 7th, 2012 at 7:04:44 PM PDT by

Bahaha! Did it stick? Is that now your "what? Room"? Love it! Adding a stack of naked magnets and no sew snaps! What? Exactly. ;D

May 8th, 2012 at 5:10:15 AM PDT by

I love quilting, but hate adding binding. I have three quilts right now just staring at me and waiting for me to put on that binding! LOL. They all eventually get finished, but at any given time I have three or four projects waiting for that final touch :)

May 7th, 2012 at 7:26:08 PM PDT by

Omg! Binding is the devil! Adding two more bindings! Lol

May 8th, 2012 at 5:11:17 AM PDT by

What is the funniest thing you, your spouse, you sister, your kid..anybody..has had to say about your craft room, table, blah blah blah..?
" You should be on that show 'Hoarders' " That is what my boyfriend says to me constantly

What percentage of your craft projects do you carry on to completion?
Maybe 80 something %... some things like scrap books are always a work in progress tho. I have a tendancy to work on many things on different days- if my arthritis is bothering me then I will so scrapping, if I am having trouble seeing(eye troubles) then I will work on plastic canvas with my big magnifying glass as I can feel it more than see it. I find coloring relaxing (Haha like Ozzy Osborne) so when I am stressed I work on coloring stamped images for scrapping, after exercising and I need a rest, I work on stamping images to be colored later. I also do sewing projects (cat toys, dog toys, wall hangings, hats, pockets, kitchen covers...) Plus I love to wood cut, then tole paint it, beading and jewelery making, felting pictures that I frame, some sign making for our property. My list goes on and I love to do it all depending how much time I have and how my health is :)

Give me another name for ric rac. :) there are a bundle out there! But i will only add an item for an original answer! And rick rack (different spelling) is NOT an original answer!
We just call it 'the wiggly stuff'... " I am working on some Christmas stockings with some of the gold wiggly stuff on it"

May 8th, 2012 at 1:05:55 AM PDT by

You crafty lady, you! Adding both white and multicolored wiggly stuff + Easter and Halloween ribbon!

May 8th, 2012 at 5:15:39 AM PDT by

i have to say my family tells me that i am a crafty person although there are a few things that i have tried so hard to learn and just can get the hang of it, when i give them a gift that i found at a sale that i thought was just awesome and the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "did you make this" i just chuckle and say sorry not this time"

May 8th, 2012 at 4:46:54 AM PDT by

Lol I get that too. I've thought about just claiming what they ask about bc they don't realize I did half the time I did. It would all work out, right? ;) lol adding watermelon fabric!

May 8th, 2012 at 5:18:01 AM PDT by

Q: What is the funniest thing you, your spouse has had to say about your craft room, table, blah blah blah..?
A: "You should get rid of some of this stuff if you're not going to use it". My response in return is: "I only have stuff that I use!"

Q: What percentage of your craft projects do you carry on to completion?
A: 100% - but some projects take longer so I work on other thing in between.

Q: Give me another name for ric rac. :) there are a bundle out there! But i will only add an item for an original answer! And rick rack (different spelling) is NOT an original answer!
A: ZigZag trim

May 8th, 2012 at 4:59:30 AM PDT by

Get rid of it?! Ahhhh!!!

Not cool. :( lol adding another paint brush, blue zigzag and...something else, tho it's in plastic and I'm not sure. Silver chain ish.

May 8th, 2012 at 5:21:32 AM PDT by
