Hello there! I’m Sandra and I’m very excited about writing for Crafty Mom at Today.com. We have a creative family and we’re always coming up with new crafts and creations for fun.

Some still call me a tomboy and I have an independent streak so I’m also big on DIY projects. Sometimes it seems like a strange combo and I have friends who are surprised when they find out I enjoy cross-stitching for example.

I just bought a new futon that did not come with the hardware but I improvised with some screws and bolts I picked up from the hardware store. Both sides bend up into arms for lounging and I love it.

• I am crazy about candle making and continue to learn more about that. The newest projects that have been the most fun are cookie cutter floating candles, seashell gel candles and layered multicolored soy candles.

• Often I use recycled materials and it’s fulfilling to create new treasures from trash. Jewelry making is also very therapeutic for me and so is baking. Last Christmas I gave everyone either handmade jewelry, candles or cookies for gifts.

I look forward to and encourage you to share your craft creation ideas and input as well. You never stop learning and I’m interested in hearing about what arts and crafts you would like to explore. I will share some of the projects we’re working on in the meantime.
