Dear kind blog readers, I need your help. I desperately need a hobby, as I made my hobby my career, and I’d love to have a down-time activity that uses my hands. The following is a result of my being bored, playing with a flashlight, and hunting down my long-suffering pets:
Hobbies I have TRIED VERY HARD to love include knitting, crocheting, and sewing. Mostly, I love touching fabrics, feeling yarns, and buying more and more lovely silky bits of textiles — not actually making anything with them, ever. Same with scrapbooking — I enjoy trinkets, wibbly bits, and found items, but don’t do anything with them.
Hobbies I think are nifty include gardening — but it only takes about 10 minutes to make a terrarium, as I learned last week. Also, cooking. I like chopping, shredding, mixing, simmering and the like — but mostly, I like eating, so this hobby shouldn’t go f ull-throttle.
What do you think? Painting? Encaustic beeswax collage making? What trips your trigger, peeps — or better yet — any local resources for fabulous classes would be much appreciated!
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING WITH MY HANDS!
Little Kitty would be most grateful for your help.
I can’t even tell you how fabulous it is to have to put my camera down and field hugs from little ones during a shoot…Tyson didn’t understand why I had to keep being NOT fun and taking pictures, when I could be tossing him in the air and giggling like a maniac. Oh, how I heart these two…
After driving their Jeep around inside the house (yep, you read that right), these two were thrown into the bathtub for some playtime. That little bubble beard! Eep!!
And Miss Isabelle, caring for baby — I do believe this is the practice-for-when-the-real-brother-comes doll. There’s such care in this image. Thirty seconds later, baby was dumped from his carseat, lol…
