I thought it might be interesting to know what everyone's creative hobbies are.
I am an experienced home sewer, although I have not sewn much since my kids were born. My current passion is cross-stitch embroidery, which I do year round. I am also new to decorative painting, although my greatest accomplishment so far is some rock painting (for garden accents) that turned out rather well. I'll have to dig out a picture and try to post it.
How about you?

I really had fun with those patio paints that summer. I did 4, but I don't have a picture of the other one.
I'll probably do a few more-have a few more people in my circle who like to nestle a surprise or two in the garden. I'm not someone who usually paints, but the pressure is off if it's only a rock, lol!
those are very pretty...Lucky friends!!!;)
I kept one, and gave the other 2 away to friends.
I work as a interior decorator so thats alot of creative juices spent. I have a salt water porcupine puffer named spiglett and I remerchandise my home constantly........lol. I also have alot of perenial gardens and am covered in dirt and manure for most of the summer

Hi Dekota Style
Tablescapes sounds really interesting. Could you tell me where I could find info on Colin Cowie?
Thanks!!
I love to create things. I like to sew girly things for my 3 yo DD like a purple ultrasuede jumper and a matching kitten purse, groovy girls doll clothes, etc. I made everyone in the family pajamas this Christmas - lots of fun!
My last obsession (and it really is!) is scrapbooking. I only started after Christmas and already I need another album!
Yes, my hobby is drawing house plans. I have worked for a construction company for several years and drafting if not my profession but I have always loved it. I have learned oodles working there and started getting involved in the house design (floor plans only) for some friends and I designed our own home as well. I can sit for hours trying to re=work a plan to get exactly what someone wants.
Besides sewing (both clothing and for the home), I love to scrapbook. I'm also dabbling in photography and would love to take a course someday.
Great topic!
I guess as for most of us decorating is a big passion. I love to decorate. Anything from selecting finishes for a room, to planning the space with furniture, to doing displays and hanging art, to sewing drapery and coming up with unique window coverings. I love it all.
photography
i like to take pictures - haven't been doing it a lot lately
I sew, and I love to tablescape. I buy things just to set the table LOL. It's one of my favourite things to do. I learned a lot from Colin Cowie on this hobby! :-)
I love to draw, sketch with charcoal.. I have only done one oil painting so far but really enjoyed it.. I'm hoping to get into that again soon!!
Other hobbies.. computers. I'm a software engineering student, so pretty much anything having to do with computers, I enjoy doing.
