This week's theme is " Hobby" .....

Webster defines the word " hobby " as any subject or activity pursued for pleasure. This can take in a wide range of things.
I guess sewing would be the longest running hobby that I've had. When my children were small, it was clothing. Later my interest turned to decorating. . . pillows, curtains etc.
















Then I went through my cross-stitch phase, making samplers and wedding accessories.

































I've dabbled in a wide range of crafts (I worked at Michael's crafts for 7 years!)
Lately, I've become interested in antiquing and visiting thrift stores, looking for tea cups and pots, which I collect.
Of course, most of my free time is spent blogging.....with occasional stops at the book store.
and then there's gardening, jewelry making, ceramics and don't forget photography and there's so much more !!!

Soon in another post, I tell you about a hobby that has turned into a small business for Hubby and me!

You are one talented and busy lady! I tried cross stitch (pattern stamped on) and I'd always mess up somewhere and throw everything off. LOL. I think at one time I have more than a few half started ones.

You worked at Michaels??? OOoOoo.. COOL job!

You do very pretty work. I cross stitch too, but I find it so tedious that I get fed up.g
