She’s working on a little project! Cross-stitch–it’s a frog with a flower. When she’s done, she wants to send it to her grandmommy! (Shh! Don’t tell! It’s a surprise!) I’m going to do a cross-stitch project, too. I used to cross-stitch all the time, but haven’t for years! My daughter wanted to learn, so I decided to get something for me, too. What about you? What are your hobbies? Tell me, and one random comment number will be selected for their pick from my contemporary backlist!:mrgreen:
(Where did the WHOLE REST OF THE WEEK go??? Oh–and it’s NICE here! Really nice! I’m wearing shorts!! I got out my “Happy Spring!” sign and put it by the door! Say it’s spring and it will come……)

I crochet. I know the basics of knitting and I’ve done some, but I prefer to crochet because it’s faster and I’m all about instant gratification. 😆 I’ve also done some cross-stitch but that’s hard on these old eyes anymore.
Have a great weekend, Suzanne!

I crochet too, if I’m not in the middle of writing a book, which I am at the moment, so that means I’m just looking at the blanket I’m making. I’ve been looking for awhile … it’s only about three inches, lol. I need to finish this @#$@ book!!

I do cross-stitch and also quilt. The problem is I do it for gifts and really don’t have anything for me. LOL I do have a quilt cut out for our bed, but haven’t started putting it together. :loser:

My hobbies are eating and sleeping. Baha.
But seriously, probably my biggest hobby is writing, followed closely by reading. I also do some website work and, of course, blogging counts as a hobby, right? I tried learning to crochet once but I think my fingers are too fat or something.

I used to cross-stitch and knit, but I never seem to find the time to do either these days. I collect cook books, dictionaries and stamps and I read. And I visit regularly certain net pages and discussion groups, especially the ones that have something to do with food and travelling.:bananadance:

I used to cross-stitch also. I read and garden and on a day like today I start thinking about what I’m going to be planting. Enjoy this beautiful weather.

Last spring, my mom and I took a knitting and crocheting class. I didn’t grasp the crochet but I do love to knit. I also used to love cross-stitch and latchhook when I was younger. When you and your daughter’s projects are done, post them here for all of us to see!:smile:

My only hobby is reading. Oh, and reading blogs and browsing around the net. That’s really all I have time for now. When I retire, I want to do some scrapbooking and learn how to crochet. That’s a long, long ways away.

Well…I read and collect books. I also collect postcards, travel posters and travel guides. Also used to collect stamps but when my hands started hurting too badly when I worked with “little” like needles and stamps, I had to give up sewing and all that stuff. Handwriting is bad enough but for the last 40 years anything fiddly with my hands won’t work. I’m glad if I can get a button sewed on or a split seam.
I used to do cross-stitch and other embroidery as well as a child but that’s long ago. I really do wish I could still sew though.:sad:

Love to read, surf the net and blog. Use to cross stitch and counted cross stitch and hook rugs. Tried knitting but one end kept getting wider and wider. Tried crocheting but instead of a doily ended up with a purse. Anyway books are so much more interesting.

In the spring and summer, love gardening. Can’t wait till the snow melts and it starts warming up again so I can start tinkering with my pots.
Other than that, do some sketching and painting, though haven’t done that in quite a while.

I used to cross stitch, it’s been a very long time. Now when I get a chance I bead = necklaces, bracelets, sun catchers. That or read or (much to the surprise of other moms) play pokemon on the gameboy..

I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch, but I haven’t done much lately. I’ve been crocheting and knitting baby wear. I was so excited about finishing something, I even posted a photo of it on my blog a while ago.

Boy,
I need more free time!! I primarily read when I have spare time. I used to knit and cross stich when my children were younger. I taught my daughter how to knit at x-mas time…she made a nice, long neck scarf to take back to school.
