I cross-stitch and always have one big one and then a smaller one going. I tried knitting and crocheting, but got very frustrated that I couldn't make a swatch with a consistent gauge. Then I found those Knifty Knitters. I really love them. I can whip out a scarf and hat in just a couple of days. And it is easy to put down and come back to. I have done several small blankets, too. It's surprising what you can do with them. I am looking into buying some looms with finer gauges so I can make some nicer stuff. Another craft I am trying to start is stained glass. It's a big investment initially, so I am getting materials little by little. I am hoping to try an sell a few pieces once I get the hang of it.

I make homemade/handmade greeting cards, scrapbooks, paper crafts with the rubber stamping medium. I like to create things that are one of a kind. My daughters gets invited to everyone's birthday parties because they all want a card from me! Funny. I haven't bought a card in years.

I don't scrapbook for myself yet, just gifts for special friends. I'm very meticulous and it takes time to do anything. If you get something from me that I make, consider yourself very special.

Everyone needs a hobby/passion.
