What are some artsy/creative things I could do?

I'm somewhat artistic/creative (although I'm not the world's greatest drawer or painter) but I love doing hands-on, art-related things, like designing picture boards, making posters, things like that. I also prefer having a purpose, whether that's selling something to my mom for $1 or hanging it up in my room. But I can't really come up with any ideas of things I could do with stuff laying around at home. Any suggestions? Thanks! :] Nashville_Kittens: No thank you.

1. Scrapbooking! Ask you mom to buy you that Cricut machine. You shouldn't sell your mom things. She feeds, houses and clothes you.
2. You can knit- I loooove to knit, and it's so easy. At the same time, it DOES have a purpose. You can make gifts, you can sell your work, as well as making yourself a cozy blanket and kick@ss clothes. A lot of people think of knitting as something granny would do, but you can make it really edgy and not just be making sweaters with dogs on the front. You can even see cute sweaters or knit dresses in the store, and then design a pattern to make your own, for cheaper. it's really handy, and a fun hobby to have. With the peace sign in your name, I assume you would appreciate giving to charity. on here, there is a pattern and address here: http://www.squidoo.com/african-knit-dolls Basically, you knit a little doll and send it so that a child in Africa gets it.
