rarely met a craft I didn\u2019t like, and have all the gadgetry to prove it. \ud83d\ude42 You\u2019ll often find me in my studio where I design and make polymer clay &amp; jewelry tutorials, sculpt polymer clay figures, dragons, beads, charms and dolls, sew garments, quilts &amp; home decor and even make the occasional scrapbook page, card or paper craft. Crafting, sewing and making things with my hands have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I\u2019ve often been asked to teach my crafts, and have found I love doing so. My online tutorials, in PDF and video, as far as I\u2019m concerned, are the ultimate teaching tools. Be sure to subscribe so you don\u2019t miss a thing. It\u2019s my hope that with every post you will come away enriched and inspired to take what you\u2019ve learned and make it your own. If I do that, I consider myself successful.","sameAs":["http:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/KeepsakeCraftsCreate\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sandysewin","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/sandysewin","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/keepsakecraftssandyhuntress"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15319"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15333,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15319\/revisions\/15333"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
