Other Crafting hobbies??
#21
I garden and read, mostly mysteries and science fiction. I used to bake a lot, but unfortunately I was too good and ate it all... At one time I crocheted some, used to sew most of my clothes and some for other people. I bought a book about making cement garden containers, and I hope to try that out soon.

I have enjoyed these over the years, in fact fell in love with each one in turn: knitting, crochet, needle point, counted cross stitch and now quilting. As well as working on a small quilt that I need to rest from periodically to protect my neck I am knitting socks and a sock yarn blanket with left over balls of what I consider treasured machine washable wool yarn too good to waste! Oh, I also jumped into knitting a small colorful cotton rug for my bathroom when I could not find the right color in the stores. This is not the right color!...but it does incorporate some of the right ones, and the colors remind me of my time in Santa FE, NM. It does cheer me to work with color in so many ways. just can't leave it alone.When I can tear myself way I read mysteries set in Italy, and get my exercise when I walk the streets and hop on the vapparreto in Venice with the characters.

I have tried almost all crafts, and master of none,the closes I came to mastering was porcelain dolls but you can only have room for so many and right now they are crouding my sewing room, I loved to make their clothes and bodies(still have my klin in the garage) when the gk were young I made all of their clothes even the girls panties (they loved them better than bought ones)made DH shirts he would go with me to the fabric store and find a material he liked and get the buttons too the kids teased him about his purole valcaon shirt.

I love to make crafts (sew) and sort of collect old Simplicity and McCalls patterns of stuffed animals and home decor - even old aprons so if anyone has old patterns of this nature, and would want to get rid of them, let me know. This is just sort of a hobby and not a business.

What are your other crafting hobbies, besides quilting?

I make tabletop fountains and birdbaths from terra cotta pots, and cute lady bugs from bowling balls that DH cuts in half for me. And then of course, there is always gourds to turn into bird houses and feeders. But mostly. I quilt
