Hobby-starting-itis?

I've been organizing my stuff and decided that I have a disease...don't know what to call it yet. If I only have one talent, it would be that I'm very good at buying the supplies for a hobby. I'll post the supplies I have for various hobbies, not necessarily in the order that I have attempted them. Some of them I've taken up on multiple occasions. I've put some of the finished projects in there too...but we'll talk more about that later.

Wood Burning

Wood Carving (no wood made it out alive)


Faux Stained Glass


Punch Needle


Origami (All of the projects quickly get loved to a wad of paper by my boys, and those that didn't my husband took to work)


Painting/Mod Podge (For Decorating the Nursery)


Loom Knitting



And on to Crocheting and Knitting. This is my pile of yarn that I have accumulated over the years. I also have almost every size hook you would want and many knitting needles.


This is something I did in a crochet class


This is something I am working on, Here is his body and an arm.


These are books I am going to make projects from.

Sock Projects
I have a few books and the cheapest per-pair socks I could find that would be fun to make stuff out of. Here is Ronald from an earlier post.


Softies/Sewing
Lo-lay and Carl are my recent projects in this area.


Did I mention I love books? As far as finished projects go, I tend to feel that in general they just look decent, especially if you squint your eyes (haha) but that is one of the reasons I am totally digging making kids toys. The finished project doesn't need to be EXACT for it to be right and for the kids to love it. I have gotten way more satisfaction out of my recent hobbies than any other. Most nights I find myself frustrated that I have to go to sleep....it's a good sign.

This is how I am storing my several projects going on at once.


Obviously I need to thank my husband for always supporting me in starting hobbies, even knowing that some of them would never last. So, Thank you! and I am so sorry for all of that money I have spent, I am glad you still love me! Also thank you to my mom, she is also a fan of starting hobbies and has always been good to buy double supplies so we can start things together.
