A Return to Crafting |

I've decided that I should rediscover some old hobbies. I just |
|
finished my first piece. It was pretty simple cross stitch |
|
pattern, but I'm jazzed up about doing more. When I was looking |
|
for some new patterns online, I found diamond bead kits. They |
|
weren't very expensive so I picked up a few. They look so neat. |
|
I also picked up some embroidery patterns. Has anyone else |
|
decided to go back to an old hobby? |

Not so much rediscovering but finally having time to get back |
|
into it: knitting and/or crocheting. I tend not to have time |
|
during the summer months because I'm busy with gardening and |
|
generally too tired in the evening to work on things. But now |
|
that winter is here, I have more time. I have a couple of hats |
|
I need to get done for a Christmas gathering on the 30th - if we |
|
go ahead with it - and then my husband posted a pattern on |
|
Facebook that he liked so I ordered the pattern. Moose |
|
slippers, crocheted. I hope to have enough yarn in my stash to |
|
make a few pairs as gifts and to sell. |

I've spent the last two years on home improvement projects and |
|
moving. I'm looking forward to having time now to craft more. I |
|
want to get caught up on some scrapbooks, make some greeting |
|
cards to have on hand and start sewing again. |

I do too many crafts already, lol, but lately I have been having |
|
the urge to revisit some of the crafts I used to do as a child. |
|
Last year I made one of those "ice candles" for Christmas like I |
|
remember doing in Girl Scouts. It turned out well. (You wash a |
|
small square milk carton, fill it with crushed ice and thread a |
|
wick in it, and pour melted colored wax over it. The ice melts |
|
and you have a candle with artistic holes in it.) Next on my |
|
list is a seed mosaic. I used to dye rice grains with food |
|
coloring and snitch my mother's dried peas and navy beans, but I |
|
think that as an adult I can afford better seed materials now. |
|
;D |
