What's new

More than One Creative Hobby

Not so much creative, but I've been doing a lot of jigsaw puzzles lately. I always enjoyed them and usually bought a new Christmas puzzles every year. But about 2 months ago my stress levels where getting very high, and I randomly came across a puzzle account on YT. So I started a puzzle that weekend and it seriously helped me get grounded again. So there's been a puzzle on my dining room table ever since. :)
And I love reading as well. And combining those two is perfection as I love to listen to audiobooks.

Puzzles are fun. I don;t know if they are relaxing for me, but I can see the appeal!
 
My other hobby is photography which balances nicely with scrapping. :photo I still have photos I need to edit so there's always a backog. And for scrapping, in order to keep going with it, being on CTs help. Deadlines keep me motivated. :-)

I work full-time so juggling 2 hobbies is enough for me or my house will suffer. I'm not saying my house is ever the cleanest but I stay on top of keeping it looking good enough :D
 
I paint and I make mixed media collage canvases and lots of art journals. I have also tried hand lettering and watercoloring and I really want to learn to make my own jewelry some day. I don't juggle all my crafts very well, which is part of why I took several years off from digiscrapping!! My house is a mess but I just can't stop creating!
 
I'm hopeless. :cornfused I'm not helping my crafting addiction at all. After watching White Christmas last night I decided that I needed to recreate Judy's black and white outfit where she and Phil are plotting their engagement. So, this morning off to JoAnn's I went to purchase some fabric so I can wear it to a Christmas party tomorrow night. Now I got to run out and buy a white turtleneck! Thankfully I have a black cardigan sweater that I can substitute for the one she wore.
 
I've dabbled in a lot of things. I used to make jewelry and candles. I guess you could consider photography a hobby, but I don't have much time for it. Between working full time and chasing after the kids, scrapping is pretty much it for me at the moment, lol. I do love to cook and read too.
 
I have no time to read all now but making a note to come back with time to read!!!
I used to do a lot of photography, draw and we would make our own Christmas presents until 2010.... sadly my health isn;t ok not even to cook too much, we both LOVE cooking and creating recipes.... I think the scrapbooking had stolen me from any other crafts LOL
