Hobbies other than scrapping?
For the longest time, scrapbooking has been my only hobby. I used to knit (constantly) and craft often, but scrapbooking has (happily) taken over all of my hobby time.
Until now... LOL! My son asked me to knit a scarf for him for Christmas. So, for the first time in (MANY) years, I am going to knit something. I doubt that I will do much more than that, but it's kind of fun to pick my needles up again. Do you have hobbies that you regularly do other than scrapbooking? I'd love to see pictures if you have any

LOL! So, I should have checked the Hygge challenge thread before I posted
I guess I'll just see everyone's answers there!

Do you find yourself to be rusty when you start knitting again after a long break? Or does it come back to you fast and easy?
I've dabbled at a bit of stuff. Knitting, crochet, quilting... The only one that seems to stick around is quilting a baby blanket for each of my babies but that's not very often! lol I'm on my third. I've sewn a bit, a couple aprons here and there, burp cloths, baby blankets as baby shower presents but I lack the technique I think. I always think my stuff is just gonna come apart after a while lol Here are my three quilts and one amigurumi I've crocheted. baby #1, I started with triangles, the hardest of quilts in my opinion. I could have chosen easier for a first. baby #2, easy stripes baby #3 in progress, I went with a super easy pattern since I have no energy unicorn amigurumi

I started on a scarf last night. I was surprised that I could pick it up as easily as I did. I didn't like the pattern and tore it out, but it was easy enough.

Other hobbies include reading, listening to music and finding new music to listen to, lol, fishing, and looking at all the pretty kits that I want to buy but don't have enough funds to do so
I also write poetry, but that's not a hobby, that's a true gift/talent and a therapeutic outlet

Hmmm, I'm not sure I have hobbies outside of digiscrap. Do you think I can count planning trips as a hobby?

I'm not sure any of these constitute a hobby, but they are things I enjoy.
Reading (daily) Photography Cooking/baking In the past, I've made jewelry, candles, knitted, etc ... I tried painting once, but I lack talent in that space!

I'm an avid hobby hopper!
I love to digiscrap, but I also enjoy paper crafts, crochet, hand lettering, reading, general crafting, drawing, painting, all the DIY projects, I used to sew, I've tried calligraphy, is Netflix a hobby? I'm also a photographer by trade, and I've dabbled in digiscrap designing as well. I'm sure there's more... It's a problem.

I crochet quite a bit. I've made a whole lot of baby blankets and the odd full size one. Once in a while I knit, but I really hate knitting. I only do it to make knitted dishcloths, which I do like. It's a great way to fill up time on a slow night shift.
I used to sew back in the day when my girls were in dance, and for Halloween and such. Not anymore though unless I need to fix something. |

I love to quilt. I all about the piecing more than the actual quilting though. And I love designing quilt patterns. A while back I sold the patterns at a quilt shop where I used to live. My best selling one was a child's quilt that had racing cars on it. I designed it for my nephew's nursery and it turned out so cute. LOL

LOL!! LeeAndra, I thought the same thing as I was posting the question! Ashley, do you work on muscle cars, enjoy driving them, looking at them? My husband LOVES muscle cars. Years ago, he owned several and wanted more! He doesn't have them now, but still dreams of buying "a few".

Lovely quilts Lea! And wonderful sketches Ella! I used to draw too but never that well!
I think I'm too busy for other hobbies right now. I homeschool and I'm a designer so there is barely enough time to squeeze in layouts which I love to make. Summer I usually have a little more time but I'm usually making up for lost time with pages. Occasionally I will dabble at book making. This past year I created a notebook for a friend. It's more like a hybrid project really as I use my digi-scrapbooking supplies to help create the cover and pages. I also run a Victorian website which has been my "hobby" since 1999. |

hmm... other hobbies - I guess searching for homeschooling curriculum could be a hobby as I'm constantly researching... I like to read... and I'm getting into bible journaling - not a hobby, but does use hobby supplies.

Our internet was out a few days ago and it was nice to spend a day just reading. I've seen Bible journaling and it looks like a great way to meditate on scripture. Jacinda, it's so relaxing to get caught up in a good book!

--------------------------- And you guys, I thought you were amazing with your digital layouts---your other hobbies are amazing and you are all so great with them!! --------------------------- My hobbies - well as I've aged, my carpel tunnel and vision started plaguing me which caused me to give up a lot of my hobbies. I loved to do cross-stitch. I had one cross-stitch that I made and kept when my oldest was born. It was one of the many items that went missing in this last move. I'm deeply saddened by it because I never kept any of my other finished projects as I gave them away as gifts. I used to sew and sewed some clothes for my children when they were younger. I sewed clothes for my neighbor's kids. But when we moved to GA, the movers dropped my sewing machine and it died. We were never refunded the cost of the sewing machine and I never invested in another sewing machine. I also used to bead jewelry, it's how I got the "Neverland" part of my name. I used to have a beading business where I did custom orders. A lot of my orders were new mother's bracelets or adding on to mother's bracelets. When we moved to DC, the movers (or the ride) shook my beading boxes and broke a lot of them causing thousands and thousands of beads to conglomerate at the bottom of the totes. I have four totes that have 6 containers with 144 slots that were half-way filled with swarovski crystals, all broken and mixed as one at the bottom of the totes. I have tried to resort them, but my lack of feeling and carpel tunnel doesn't help when I try. I've offered to pay the kids to sort them. They get as far as dumping them out and leaving them sit for a week. At this point, I'm ready to just dump them together in a container and sell them on EBay to get them out of my house. I do miss beading though. I used to paper scrap...don't do that any more. I used to hybrid, but the color printer broke in this last move and now we have a black/white printer. I used to have a lot of hobbies, but lately the only one I can physically do is my digital scrapbooking. It's quite sad actually ^^ I'm also sensing the movers weren't the greatest during our moves, as far as taking my hobbies away from me! I'm glad with digital I take my tower with me in our car and I don't let the movers touch it. They can't take this hobby away from me! Last edited by Neverland Scraps; 12-30-2018 at 04:00 PM. |

Yes, it's so very easy to get sucked in. I spent hours on Youtube watching snippets & k-pop music videos... until I feel guilty for abandoning scrapbooking

LOL! Maybe you could scrap and watch? I've done that with movies... sort of watch on one screen while I'm scrapping on the other. As long as I'm not journaling, it works well

I've taken up making cards again after a hiatus for many years (thus having to buy everything again - lol) and also have start painting signs.
I keep forgetting to take photos of the cards I've made, but here are a few of the signs:

Well, I've been out of the scrapping loop for a while, but I haven't had much for hobbies in the mean time! I've got my mojo back which I'm super excited about!! I do enjoy watching TV and playing board games with my kids.

I paint! mostly rocks, and mostly pokemon, but not always. Sometimes it's canvases or cards, sometimes it's other nerdy stuff. I also draw a lot.
