Too many hobbies?
#41
Never been one to "put all my eggs in one basket" so to speak. I quilt, cross stitch, do thread crochet, knit, sew garments, paint, do stain glass, draw, dabble in tatting, read, work puzzles, etc., etc., etc. Just can't understand the concept of someone being "bored". I'll be 75 years old next month. My only concern is not living long enough to do all the projects I have in mind!

Ah yes, there are many just like you. I started out as a garment sewer, then got into sewing crafts (like making bags) and quilting. I also knit, crochet, bead, cross-stitch, and scrapbook. Love to read, and.... almost forgot... I have to work full time also LOL!
So funny that someone mentioned tatting - that's the one thing I have never been able to conquer - so I just signed up for the Craftsy course on it! Because I NEED another hobby!

Am I the only one out there with a lot of crafty hobbies? My passion is quilting, but I am thinking of getting back into sewing garments, and I like to crochet and knit and have been known to make my own jewelry..... am I spreading myself too thin and should I just concentrate on a few hobbies become to really, really proficient? I think part of it is "play therapy" for me and I like having lots of different "toys" to play with. Anyone out there like me?

I don't think you can ever have to many hobbies. We go through different phases in our lives and what you like today might not hold you interest tomorrow. You should challenge your self and do whatever feel right to you. One day you may be to old to enjoy some things and will regret that you didn't at least challenge your self. Do whatever ever feel right to you.

I used to cross-stitch, plastic canvas, paint clay pots and scrapbook, but quilting has taken the front stage for me. This is a very expensive hobby, which you all know, and so was scrapbooking so the old pocket book had to pick one or the other!

Oh my goodness! I am glad to know that I am not the only one! I have many hobbies, and love to try new things. I sew, quilt, knit, crochet, make jewelry, etc. I just love to try new things. Keeps life exciting.

You are certainly not alone! I spin my own yarn, felt, knit, used to crochet and tat, sewed all my kids clothes when they were young, quilt, stamp, read, read, read, and if I have any time left over I have to clean my house!
