Are we the same person? I had the same problem and appear to have the same partner ;)

(new here!) I do sewing, mostly clothing but also plushies and some quilting. I further occupy myself with drawing/painting, knitting and crochet. I'm also just getting into embroidery and weaving, but those are probably not going to show up in any videogame-related crafts soon.

Oh there's plenty of VG embroidery! Dunno about weaving though. :)

A long time ago, before kids (BK), I painted miniatures.
I even won some competitions and had minis featured in some magazines and on some websites.

Only 5?!?!? Impossible!!!

But seriously though, i've at least dabbled in all of these. Art school gives you so many opportunities to try things! Printmaking and cross-stitch are my main mediums at the moment however, and metalsmithing when I have studio access.

Cross stitch, sewing (not really good at it yet and I make simple stuff), and embroidery (just starting on this and am not real great at it either). I used to make jewelry, but have since put it aside, and also used to play with polymer clay. Still have the materials for both of those things, but really don't do anything with them right now. I had an epiphany about a year or two or more ago now that what I really enjoy is the cross stitching more than anything else. I did also dabble in découpage when I was a kid. Really enjoyed it. It was fun cutting out pics and gluing them down on projects and such. Might have to start that again later in the future when I have time or a project that just screams for it.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that there is no VG embroidery! Just that, as I am only just getting started with it, it will probably take some time for it to show up in MY vg crafts :)

I see! Sorry for the misunderstanding!
Although...I think you'll get to it sooner than you think :D

XStitch, crochet, perler, knitting (not very well, yet), and I just started bead weaving after seeing a beaded Link and Zelda on this site.

Oh good grief, I was looking for the post of whoever made lace :D I swear you must be a wizard :wiz Where did you learn to do it??

The only two I chose in the poll are cross stitching and painting, because those are the only ones I really DO. But in the past I've dabbled in crochet, quilting, sewing, mosaics, clay sculpting, and papercraft! I have some on the list, too, of what I'd like to do. I'd really like to do more with all of those, excluding papercraft because I'm terrible, and I'd like to start trying the lacemaking, or tatting, I'm not sure if there is a difference? Good grief, there just isn't enough time or space for all of the things!

The crochet lace is just modified practice from what I've done in the past, but the bobbin lace stuff I picked up from http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/. I forget what originally piqued my interest in it, but I don't think I'll be giving it up any time soon.
