I suppose in certain things, it is necessary to go by the book<br /><br />Jean thanks I think I'm finally learning that there are no rules :)<br /><br />audrey thanks I don't normally have much imagination myself. I have to have something to look at to give me the ideas<br /><br />craft crave, why thank you<br /><br />beaded tail I can't come up with my own ideas either. <br /><br />ginny thanks I can improvise somewhat but usually don't feel like it's turned out right if it wasn't done exactly the way the directions said<br /><br />livintheblues lol, ok then<br /><br />LDH thanks the reverse embossing was a goof up that turned out quite nicely<br /><br />beebeebabs, thanks and I was glad to share it with you<br /><br />tahtimbo I think I'm starting to do more of that, using the book to learn then going out on my own<br /><br />mansi thank you<br /><br />miawa and that going to town is what makes it more fun<br /><br />gayle thank you, I guess I'm just a little of both<br /><br />marie you are very welcome. All your projects that you post inspire me all the time to go get crafty :)<br /><br />whimcees I did have fun with this. Other blogs, just like yours for example give me so many wonderful ideas<br /><br />allotmentts4you thank you. Oh when i crochet I have to do it exactly like the pattern says, no way can I wing it on that....lol<br /><br />josep lol, I need the book to at least get me going<br /><br />philippa thanks, I find playing it by ear a little tricky but I'm learning<br /><br />anny I like that. the adventure is in the discovery. I may have to use that as a quote for one of my projects :)<br /><br />fishhawk since Christmas is fast approaching I will quietly accept your compliment and then never mention it again :)<br /><br />anne I'm good at winging it in the kitchen I don't know why I find it so difficult to do in the craft room<br /><br />duni thank you. I made the quilled candles first and then went searching for a suitable quote. This one fit the bill nicely<br /><br />catherine thanks, mine are usually done in short spurts spanning over a day or two. depending on my level of enthusiasm<br /><br />russ I'm thinking that it couldn't hurt to at least have the book around to use as a reference.<br /><br />shinade thank you very much. I've still got the etsy shop in the back of my head. Maybe after the first of the year I will make the leap<br /><br />helen the problem arises when i can't find all the things I need to make it the way the original was<br /><br />connie thanks, the nice thing about quilling is you don't have to have anything special. You can use a toothpick or make a slotted tool from a needle. You can even cut your own strips of paper<br /><br />donna I'm trying to be that way. I really am :)<br /><br />out on the prairie I do a lot of that too. But then I have to replay the tutorial a million times while I'm trying to do it.<br /><br />sandra I've always been a hands on kind of person, where I have to actually do something to learn it. If I just read about something or watch someone else it doesn't have the same effect on me as actually doing something<br /><br />b boys mom I do the same with cooking. <br /><br />marg I don't know if I could go totally on my own, I always need some kind of instruction to work off of. Something to at least get me started.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708718912504052807.post-49751648957950493492010-12-02T18:14:40.667-05:002010-12-02T18:14:40.667-05:00I love to do things by the seat of my pants.

But you have to have the time to try things out but I think it is much more fun to have your own design.

I can't do it. i always wing it and of course it looks nothing like the instructions or taste nothing like the recipe. i can not put anything together by reading directions, i have to be told or shown. a real challenge has been photoshop, because even people who show me or tellme there are a hundred ways to do it. it is The Place to not follow the book.
