Hobbies and Crafts

 For most of my life, I have either dabbled or have gone hardcore doing a myriad of crafting or hobbies.

Those two subjects are fairly blended, if you ask me.  One in the same, depending how much time, effort, or enjoyment one derives from one's preferred projects.


For example, My Mother excelled at the art of Crochet.  Our extended family members were blessed with an abundance of Afghans, lovingly created by My Mother's own hands.  They were beautiful.  When a baby shower was imminent she went out and bought several skeins of Jamie yarn in the prettiest, most delicate shades.  Mom got great satisfaction, enjoyment and relaxation from crafting these lovely items.  And, BTW My Mom was legally blind.  I am still in awe of her having the ability to Crochet.  I still have many of the wonderful Afghans she created for me.


My personal hobbies over the years have been macrame, wreath making, sewing, cross stitch, latch hook, and a few others.  One thing I cannot do, believe it or not...CROCHET.  No matter how many times, teaching from others and watching instructional videos...me doing crochet is definitely an impossibility.  I truly believe that I wasn't meant to learn.  Only Mom.  She passed away in 2001.


I would love to read your comments, what are your hobbies?  Please leave comments and tell me your stories or ideas.


Lots of love,  the town's streets are about to be rolled up for the night.  Blessings!
