loads of people said they loved crafts.

So, what type of crafts do you do? whats your hobby?

i love fishing but not been for a long while, and anything computer techy

Don't have much spare time because of this site but....I used to love to draw (especially portraits) with pastels and I design wedding stationery too. I also like to make my own patterns from photos (usually animals) and cross stitch them.

Isafari! I would llove to see some of your work!

I create things from yarn. :D Sometimes I crochet, sometimes I knit (still learning). I do calligraphy. :yes: I sew.

I don't have much time for any of that anymore, but I do try to work in special projects. :yes:

I love cooking too, but can't do much of that right now. :sigh;

Is reading a hobby? I guess it is for me. I love reading and wish I had more time to do it.

I enjoy photography and in the last couple of years I've added scrapbooking to that hobby.

Tink, what you do is fantastic, so much work and love goes into it, it really is beautiful :hug2: :hug2:

I'd also like to see some of your work please Diane :)


My hobby is reading, I find it so relaxing. I used to make cakes and I loved doing it, but I only do it for the little ones now.

Geocaching.

That's not very arty or crafty though.

And gardening - growing food. :D

Ok.....I am not very good but....it's the satisfaction of having your own crafts/art work on the walls that does it for me!

This is DH's gran with a portrait I did of her late husband and next to her is herself and her husband. These are done with pencil. I appologise for the quality of these photos.
