Gosh, whenever I needed something (and no money at hand) I made it. I loved working with my hand and I think I am able to say I am "jack of all hobbies and master of none". Lately, I had to curtail my mounting hobbies to three; quilting, watercoloring, re-making old jewelry into new or different items. I still crochet and knit in the evening while watching TV. And honestly I would love to be able to do the others that I so enjoyed. Mostly I taught myself to do items because when I was asked by someone "could you make this for me", I just did not know how to say "no"; and I glad that I did just that.
