What are your hobbies and how did you get into them?

Anything art/craft related, but I jump around between different crafty stuff a lot. I'm currently getting back into crocheting because I want to make DS and the baby a couple of new blankets.

it’s soon summer around here. I love growing plants. I’ve scaled back a lot this year. Just focusing on propagating the strawberry plants to have a bigger produce next year. I have a balcony garden that dies every winter and turns into a greenery against the concrete every summer. This year I will have a not-so-helpful helper to hang out with. She has been ploughing my frozen-over pots with her beach set , which I hope, will save me quite some work 😂

@artsiefartsie a couple of year ago I crocheted an aviator hat for my husband. I was supposed to make a matching one for our future child, but the miscarriages discouraged me. Would be a great project now to crochet similar hats for the whole family.

@sthlm_21 That is a wonderful idea! ❤ ❤

I guess my hobbies are baking and sewing. I have always liked baking, and I learned to sew like two years ago. I mostly sew cute little dresses for my daughter. I can knit a little. I would probably say hiking too but we don't live in a place with good hiking anymore so I never do that now.

@RoseShadow873 what do you like to bake? I love baking, but really have only had enough time to perfect chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies.

RoseShadow873 · May 2021

@doodleoodle I bake all kinds of things and I'm always hoping to try to bake new things that I never made before. Cakes, cookies, muffins, bagels, scones, pretzels, tarts, macarons, merengues, cinnamon rolls, different kinds of breads. Ciabatta is the bread I try to bake the most and I'm still trying to figure out how to get it perfect. I want to learn to make croissants but I think those take quite a while to make so I haven't even tried.

Jealous of those of you that are good at the fabric crafts! I've tried to learn to crochet for 3 winters and a pandemic but I haven't got the hang of it, likely because of my attention span.

I basically enjoy a hobby farm, various animals, gardening and what not. I don't make any money from it but I enjoy it for sure. But I also enjoy panting, I just wish I had more space to be able to do it more often. I was an art major once upon a time and that's one part I kept coming back to.

@RoseShadow873 you’re my hero

Used to be yoga, hiking, reading and baking. But haven’t done any of those things in the last 3 months. Looking forward to being able to get back to some of those things!

You all have such awesome hobbies! I tried knitting DD a blanket before she was born....it’s sitting in a bag somewhere tangled and unfinished haha. Maybe I’ll find some time before this baby comes to untangle and finish it. 😂

@RoseShadow873 you’re my hero too! DH tried making croissants during quarantine last year and they did not turn out right...I’ll just stick to buying them from the bakery!

I am in the process of cross stitching our family stockings. I finished my daughters, but now I have to sew it together.

gingerale87 · May 2021

@jenniferjoy37 wow that stocking is adorable! What a great family keepsake!

mayoduck · May 2021

@jenniferjoy37 That stocking is amazing!

I garden, write stories, and make hand-made greeting cards.

I've been involved in gymnastics in some form or another most of my life - most recently judging competitions (precovid). I'm also a movie knitter... made a baby blanket for my first that I finished a week before she came and then with my son, I didn't finish his until his 2nd birthday... these twins probably won't get theirs until college haha

chartput · May 2021

I used to crochet all the time! Ive made blankets for all my nieces and nephews and friends babies other than the most recent twins. I haven't crocheted in about a year, but definitely want to get back into it. I also like working out, hiking, biking, paddle boarding, although I haven't been able to do any of that for the last 2 months. Hoping I can start some of it back soon. I also used to paint and draw. I painted a mural when I was in high school for my dad's coffee shop that they used on their logo for their beans. I haven't done anything like that in a LONG time, but I love halloween so I've transformed my love of painting/crafting into making at least one homemade halloween decoration every year. My goal is to have our whole yard basically be a haunted house in a few years.
