You me there are other things beside sewing? oh yeah… Mine favorite OTHER hobby would have to be Gardening. Although honestly it’s more a lifestyle then a hobby. Does that still count?

Do I have to pick just one? Let’s see, out of cooking, spinning, weaving, crocheting, knitting, homemaking, beading, photography, and all around crafting, I don’t know if I can pick a second favorite? Can’t I just say I love them all the same? Because I do!

First, knitting. Then I also love cutting and pasting. :) (Paper crafts!) After that, cooking.

Besides sewing it’s knitting on the first spot and photography right next following.

Knitting. Also crochet, but I knit all the time now: in front of the TV, while commuting, waiting in line, you name it. I always need something to keep my hands busy!
