Re: Handicrafts?
I know, so much creativity, too little time! I hope you do find the time for most of your projects!
This is the glove I stitched the sequins onto... I also made the little gold suit for the monkey. 
Not sure if this counts as a handicraft... but I used to be really into nail art. I'm sorry for the bad pictures... All the effects are painted on in hand, Most of them using a plastic toothpick.

Re: Handicrafts?
I was tempted to start this with... "Here's a little number I tossed off recently in the Caribbean," but I don't suppose many people will get that one (extra points to those who do). 
But anyway, I meant to say that I got out my fabric painting gear again in the past few weeks and designed a few more t-shirts. One is actually Sherlock-themed, the other two relate to Cabin Pressure. Guess I'm all set to attend the Euro AirDot Con in Milan next month, then.

Yep, especially the back. Though I wonder what other people might think when they see me with a floating, severed eye in a mug on my chest.

Oh, I stopped wondering about that quite a while ago. 
Although I still wouldn't wear the "I don't shave for Sherlock Holmes"-tee.
Yours are very nice and very well done. I really like the lemon and the yellow car. 
Friend of mine makes her own shirts, too. All those possibilities... I'm wondering if I should give it a try.

Re: Handicrafts?
Why not? Although I have to say that the more intricate things (in German I would say "filigran") probably take some practice -- and good, preferably thin brushes. Especially things like small letters or thin lines. If you've never done fabric painting (or normal painting, for that matter), I would recommend you start with a rather simple design. There are also felt tip pens for fabric painting, that might be an alternative. (Although mixing colours and colour blends don't work that well with pens.)
