Weekly Check-In ~ January 15

[Vania16]

We talked about this last week among the SA Creative Team and it got me curious about all our members too - with all the creativity around here, do any of you guys have other hobbies? I recently took up knitting and have become a bit obsessed with it LOL (DH asked if I was going to have a yarn stash now to match my scrapbooking one LOL!) This week we'd love to hear about any and all of your other hobbies - and if you're a single-minded digi-scrapper who doesn't have time for anything else (like several of our CT members :) ) tell us about that too!

Knitting, mmmm, I love that too, but I didn't it over many years. My favorite other hobby is to Flamenco-dance. I have once a week flamenco-classes and I love it. However it seems very easy I can tell you it's top-sport. Everytime I feel muscels which are totally new for me. I even didn't knew I had them, LOL.

And I started again to do real work in the style of Anna Corba. In the summermonths when I can sit in the garden I do sculpture work.

Oh, I love knitting. I have been knitting since I was about 6! lol I also crochet and tatt, quilt, do cross stitch, and sketch enough to keep small children amused (lol). I have a kazillion hobbies.

Lisa - I use up my left over yarn. I started a 'crazy' afgan with all my leftovers, and just add to it when I have finished a project. Once it is big enough, I end it, crochet all around the edges, then when I get some more scrap yarn, start a new one. I find there is always someone who wants an afgan. And I don't have a huge amount of left over yarn hanging around. 'wry grin' I used to live in a VERY small house, and so I couldn't really have a too many stashes of stuff!

Flamenco dancing! That's fantastic Mar! What a cool hobby - I bet it is quite a workout! I used to really love to dance, but DH isn't much for it (other than around the house LOL), so I haven't been out dancing in forever - I bet lessons are lots of fun!

And Cindy, that's a great idea on keeping the stash down! I've only made a few things and already I have little bits of leftovers - an afghan would be fun :) Also, I'm really jealous that you can sketch (even if just enough to amuse the kids LOL!)

Photography is a big competitor with my scrap hobby. Thankfully they can coexist peacefully! LOL
Otherwise- I knit, sew, card making, photo tiles...jack of all trades, master of none!
