Corner View {Hobbies}
I don't have a whole lot of time for hobbies these days. I so wish I did.
I still do some. I read. I sit in the bath and read, though that's not so much a hobby as a luxury.
I take photos. Sometimes I get to do this for work ... is it still a hobby then?
I love to be creative. Luckily, I also have outlet for this at work.
I'll take that as a hobby I get paid for.
I paint. But haven't in a long time.
I hope to in the next few weeks while I am on leave from work.
I write letters ... and post them in the mail ... I've just started doing this again.
I cook. It's a necessity, sure. But the types of things I cook make it more of a necessary hobby.
I knit. But only in the winter.
I bought a sewing machine recently ... I hope to learn how to use it.
I pinterest. That is probably the hobby I get to do the most. Just for hobby's sake.
I like to get crafty.
I bought the stuff to do this craft last year, and then didn't have time to do it.
This year ... I did.
And it was fun.
I only had one mishap ... with pliers and my finger. But I lived.
This took me about 30ish minutes. It wasn't hard. Next time I'll make sure I have coat
hangers that aren't so strong! (this is where the plier mishap cam into play!)
I also didn't have to hot glue gun all of the ornaments like she suggested.
I was fully prepared to, and I couldn't pull them apart!
It wasn't until the end when I was trying to twist
the two wires together that a few popped
off. I just glue gunned them then
and there. And it worked
fine. I wish I had a
thicker ribbon
for the
top.
Live and learn ...

Love your garland! It is so hard for us woman to find time to do the things we truely love!
Very pretty! Sounds like a painful project but it had a great result!
for me sitting in a bath would be a hobby, may be 'cause i don't have one.... your garland is great, i'm not good in making those things.
Pretty wreath! I'm glad to see that you still write letters. I was starting to think that my mother and I were the only two left who wrote "real" letters. (I picked an awful time in history to start a card business :-) )
Bravo, this Christmas wreath is very successful :)
wow, yeah, that's like busy-busy, bonnie! i already hung out in your pinterest, you know! what a bunch, and definitely alot of food in there; yumm! cooking is a hobby, for sure.
the wreath worked a wonder!! perhaps i should do thàt to the vintage baubles i found recently?
