Echo Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Currently (because they often change) my hobbies are reading, reviewing, blogging, hanging out on BCF, babysitting my nephew, beading, and shopping. I hardly get to indulge in all of these, though, since school takes up so much time. Quote

K1nS Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I was wondering if there was anymore craft lovers out there? I love to cross stitch Edited January 4, 2009 by Michelle crafts have already been mentioned as a hobby, so threads merged! Quote
Echo Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I enjoy beading, mainly making necklaces with the occasional bracelet. I need to buy some new beads, though! Quote
BookBee8 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Uni takes up most of my time but my main hobby is reading. Followed by DVD's and surfing the 'net. I'm not really an active person although I should get off my bum and do an exercise dvd once in a while which I may start soon. Hehe I could've written that! I'm so lazy...I really should do more! All I do is read, write, watch TV and sit on my laptop! I forgot to add in my post that Uni does take up time for me too, so I don't just sit at home all day ...hehe. Quote
Peacefield Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I like to do beading too, although mostly bracelets and earrings since I never have enough patience to work on long necklaces, lol. We have one large bead shop here in town but it seems to get more expensive every time I go! I keep telling myself I should find some cheaper mail-order place but I like seeing the beads with my own eyes instead of online. Other than that I like to create cards and stationery. Not so much into stamping them, but using handmade papers, etc. Quote
Peacefield Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Reading, of course, and studying anything to do with art (I go to the local museum a lot), also beading, working on my family ancestry, drinking lots of coffee, hanging out with my cat Sascha, watching Gilmore Girls and West Wing on dvd, creating stationery/cards and cooking. Oh, and music is a pretty big thing, listening though not creating, lol. Quote
Ivyleaf Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I enjoy glass painting, scrap booking, knitting, crochet, water colour painting - in fact I love most art and crafty stuff - would love to do beading - it's all down to money to buy the bits you need basically. Quote
Nellie Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I love crafts of all kinds. I do card making and bead work. And i love to paint. I'd like to try photography Nellie. Did you take a course? My husband taught me to start with, but then I went on a couple of courses. It's not as difficult as you might think to take a "good" picture, even with an ordinary compact camera. It's all about understanding the light and composition, so if you paint, you probably have a great understanding of that already. To take "Wow factor" pictures is harder, and more technical as you need to understand how the camera works so you can control the light in the way that you want, but it's by no means impossible, you just need to spend some time learning the basics and then practising. I would recommend a local night school type course to get you going with the technical bits. Once you have that, ALWAYS have a camera with you to practise. You'll be amazed how quickly you start to take amazing pictures! Quote
The Library Nook Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I love scrapbooking. I have tried things like cross stitch but although I enjoy it I have never finished a project! Quote

Peacefield Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Nellie- when I do beading it's pretty much just making different kinds of jewelry (mostly bracelets & earrings) with wire and little beads. Sometimes people buy flexible wire that you string the beads on, other times you bend the wire and make little links that you connect, which is what I tend to do. I've seen people use leather and other kinds of cord too. It's fun, but can get expensive; the beads, wire, cord, clasps, spacers, etc can add up! Quote
Echo Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I use flexible wire since I normally make necklaces. I use glass and wooden beads for mine. I find it very soothing. Here's a link to some pictures of completed projects! Edited January 4, 2009 by Echo added link Quote

Jo-Bridge Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Echo- the blue bracelet is lovely. Do you take orders!!!! ? Quote
Echo Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 LOL! Thanks. No, no orders as of yet. I barely have any beads. The only new thing I have been able to make in the past few months was a necklace for my sister-in-law for Christmas. I plan to start making lots more, though! Quote

Raven Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Looking for Dead People Family tree or zombie hunter?! Quote
bethany725 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I was wondering the same thing, Raven You must enlighten us, BL! Quote
frankie Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Looking for dead people might actually be some kind of voluntary work you do with your dog that's got great sense of smell. Although I think it would be preferred to be called looking for missing people. Quote
Raven Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Perhaps she is related to Van Helsing, perhaps Demons is actually based on fact! Quote
Heather Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Family tree or zombie hunter?! :17: Zombie hunter I love it but it is my Family Tree :lol: Quote
