I would be interested in this too.  I already know how to do the 
rabbit but would love to learn more.  I especially am interested 
in the baby shower things because I may need them soon.  Smile

 Washcloth crafts is making things with washcloths.  You can fold 
them
 particular ways and make decorative items to use in the home.  
One example
 is a bunny rabbit.  Another is a basket.  And, then, baby shower 
things too
 and on and on.

 Barb,

 That's a great question and well, it gets different answers 
depending on
 the
 craft you consider.  For beading, buy a kit or a bag of beads 
and a handful
 of supplies.  Maybe buy sizes of supplies that are reasonable 
for one
 project
 or the smallest available.  But, let's say you decide to do 
ceramics.  buy a
 piece of greenware from a ceramics shop, take it back to be 
fired in their
 kiln, and buy only the paints you need.  Also, find somebody who 
has done
 the
 craft you are interested in.  For example, I do crochet, safety 
pin beading
 now, have done a little plastic canvas and want to really do 
more, a
 little
 braille art, clothespin crafts, washcloth crafts, and more if I 
really
 thought about it.  I'd be glad to help anybody get started and 
sell them
 just
 enough or advise them on how to buy just enough to do a project 
or two and
 help them go from there.  For me, crafting is not about Me.  
It's what can I
 share and teach others.  I believe in the philosophy of 
grandparents
 teaching
 children and those children teaching the grandchildren.  Life 
was a whole
 lot
 simpler back then!

 As a newbie to crafting and having limited vision, I'm still 
exploring
 "options" for types of craft I might be interested in without 
having to
 purchase a bunch of supplies and then deciding that it is not 
something
 I'm
 interested in.

 So my question is, how does one explore the different mediums in 
the
 crafting world to find something they like without spending a 
lot of money
 and then having supplies laying around they won't use?
