My daughter is somewhat crafty, although more leaning towards the art-part for most things - she loves to paint and colour! She has shown some interest in my crocheting, a little bit in sewing, but hasn't gone all out and pretended to be doing it (at least not in front of me), and has only mentioned in passing a desire to do either. I have a basket of colouring an other arts and crafts supplies for her, but I'm also considering teaching her to crochet soonish - maybe I'll get her a "how to crochet" kit for this birthday or her next (she's turning 5) so she can get a feel for it with a simple project she can make with mommy.

I'm a little different than most people on here. My family was crafty, don't get me wrong, and we did our fair share of crafting growing up. However, I was got into writing rather than doing other arts and crafts, it was my younger sister who was into polymer clay, then those beads you iron, then painting, and now beadwork. I didn't get into crafting seriously until I moved to California and was in my early twenties. I don't write as much now, but instead my creative outlet is that I do something crafty at least a few times a week. Before, I did make a few candles or soaps here and there, etc, but mostly when I felt creative I turned to writing.
While I miss my writing sometimes ( I still dabble in poetry) I feel like overall I'm more creative now and more surrounded by my creativity because most of my furniture has been refurbished by me, I've made most of my decor, I've been dabbling in jewelry and clothing recons, etc.
