Question of the day?
Do you have other crafting hobbies that you enjoy? what are they?
p.s. Thanks for everyone who inquired about my safety due to the storms in Texas. they have been horrible and I have never seen snow like this ever in my life. It's again snowing today for the third day in this week this is probably the third time in my life that I've ever seen snow and the accumulation is shocking. Fortunately my power has come back on so I am at the moment happy without water but safe, without food in the fridge because of the outage, but lucky to have food in the pantry. Thanks so much for checking on me big hugs Holley

ReplyDeleteI like cross-stitchong.. :)
Cute card. I paint mandalas and butterflies, embroider pictures and do decoupage.
ReplyDeleteIt's really horrible what's happening in Texas at the moment. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI like the colours of the card your shared today. So bright and positive.
Well, pretty much all my hobbies are craft related. Besides papercrafts I also like to make jewelry out of polymer clay and beads. I would also like to learn to sew and crochet.
I'm so glad that you're okay Holley. I thought of you when I saw all the terrible photos of the storms and power outages. At least it looks like the power is on in most places, but still a lot that needs to be dealt with. Hugs to you...stay safe!
ReplyDeleteAs for hobbies, I don't have a lot of time for hobbies, with 3 young kids. However, I do like to bake, a little bit of simple sewing, and seems like I'm always painting rooms or changing the decor around here.
Hi Holley your card is gorgeous. I am so glad that you are safe. That storm is awful. I enjoy felting. I help at workshops and I have made a few bits myself at home. Stay safe and take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Holley. So pleased to hear you are keeping safe. I cook a lot - not sure if its a hobby or out of necessity though! Shabneez x

ReplyDeleteglad your safe.

I wondered if I knew anyone in Texas, I had no idea you were there. I am so sorry you are going through this. We lose our power occasionally here in Nova Scotia so I can relate, usually once ot twice a year. The longest was 5 days in the middle of winter, it was a nightmare. It gets so cold here. Please try to stay warm and stay well. I just prayed for you. Your card is sweet! My other craft hobby is making journals.
ReplyDeletei did somany things but through healt issues not so much anymore
ReplyDeleteCute and sweet card! I do have a variety of crafts that I enjoy along with creating cards and scrapbooking. I like to sew, embroider, knit and color.
ReplyDeleteOH! I do a lot of things: sewing, knitting, backing, a little bit of crochet ad of course coloring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card and amazing sentiment! My other hobbies are scrapbooking , sewing, and cooking. We are in the same boat as you- power, but no water. What a mess. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI really like the words of this card. I also knit and sew.
ReplyDeleteI am happy you are safe, I was thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy card and the sentiment is perfect.
Yes, I like to travel and to read.
Hugs xx
I'm so happy to hear an update on your safety. Hopefully, this weather will break soon. Terrific image and sentiment! I love to cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job did you do. Gorgeous card with beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteLast week I was depressed again, and I did crocheting and knitting little by little to make calmer.. That helped a bit.. :):)
Lovely card...I love crochet...take care...
ReplyDeleteAnother cute image. Very nicely colored, too. I love to crochet. Made lots of scarves this past year for Christmas presents.
ReplyDeleteLove your coloring and this color scheme. Sometimes I like to do crochet or loom knitting (simple stuff) and cross stitching or embroidery. I love to take photos am dying to get into gel press, which circles back to cardmaking and scrapbooking. :) I used to paint with oils long ago and that's something I am thinking about pursuing again some day.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Holley. I do some digital crafting as a break from card making xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo thankful you are safe and the power is back on. My gracious, I can't remember ever seeing such images of Texas.
ReplyDeleteYour card is sooooo perfect for today's world. I think we have all had to redraw our lines over the last year. What a blessing to have Sandra as such a good friend.
I have crafted all my adult life starting when I was only a "tadpole"....lol. I used to paint (acrylics and watercolors) but now most of my crafting is with fiber, textiles and paper....crochet, knit, sew, create cards. I also enjoy reading and puttering in my downsized gardens. As I read the posts it is wonderful to see so many others engaged in crafty endeavors. Definitely a lovely and talented group of people. Blessings, Barbara
These images are so unique, quirky and fun. I really love the flower too. Great card! My other crafting hobbies have been painting and drawing. Oh my goodness, I am glad you are doing okay and have electricity. I hope you get water running soon. I am closely watching the news and I will keep you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHi Holley - glad that you are surviving, us too. I love your card! My other hobbies include quilting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, playing bridge, reading, drinking coffee, etc. I have too many interests.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are hanging in there during this crazy time. I dabble a little bit in wood signs and vinyl wall art and do a little bit of sewing. I also do a little DIY upcycling with things I find at thrift stores.
ReplyDeleteGlad your ok in this terrible weather...lovely card and I also love to make wreaths from mesh Tulle.
ReplyDeleteA very cute image - love her hair style, which is so 'in' right now. And a sweet card! I like to make a canvas or small home decor piece - usually as a gift to someone.
ReplyDeleteCute card! I also crochet, mostly in the winter but not this year. I've been concentrating on making cards this winter. So glad that you are getting through the storms and outages. I have quite a bit of family in Texas and I'm glad everyone is doing as well as can be expected.
ReplyDeleteits very nice!
ReplyDeleteI like to crochet!
Love your card and great sentiment! Other crafting hobbies- I've made earrings, and I like making Tags and decorating them with lace and stamping, I'm always working on cards! I've been frozen here too, the town shut down, days without power and still no water, so sad.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card!! So sorry you dealing with the bad weather. Its crazy. Praying it will be over soon. Sending hugs your way. I do a lot of different crafts. I do mixed media on canvas, gnome houses, wreaths (just made a horse head one for Christmas) sock gnomes, decor bottles using clay, I make flowers out of aluminium cans, I crochet at times, and so many more. I like challenging myself to see if I can make things Ive seen or just to create something new.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the saying, image and lace!
ReplyDeleteI have been making junk journals the last year or so. I also quilt, make charms and some jewelry. I have painted and made monoprints and still do occasionally. Many interests and many hobbies.
Love the sentiment and image on your card! I forgot that you were in TX... I imagine you have had your hands full with all the snow and the power outages, etc! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI have dabbled in several other crafts in the past, but none that really held my interest for any length of time. I did just a bit of quilting, beading, stained glass... but not enough to accomplish much! I did enjoy a bit of napkin art for awhile too, making some very pretty decoupaged and glittered eggs.
What a great sentiment, and one that really resonates. I really hope that you have clean water by now, or very soon. What an ordeal you and many others have been through. I feel so fortunate to have mild winters, and all the essentials. We are currently without water to our kitchen, due to a leaking dishwasher that required pulling up all the floors and having a company come in to run fans and dehumidifiers for a week. Now comes the job of repairing cabinets, replacing drywall and floors etc. So, I have a taste of it...but without the bitter cold and loss of electricity.
ReplyDeleteMy other hobbies are reading (just a bookworm from childhood), organizing my craft supplies (ha!), and sewing once in awhile. I've pretty much tried all the usual crafts but the one that's stuck is papercrafting.
A gorgeous card Holley, love the lace and such sweet image.
ReplyDeleteI like baking sweets.
Valerija xx
How fun to have ave this image to create with. A wonderful card. It is so tough watching what Texas is going through. Being from Michigan we are used to the snow and cold. I hope you have water soon and more food.
ReplyDeleteHobbies include reading, scrapping and grandkids😀👶👶
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun and playful card! I do some knitting and quilting but my primary focus is playing with paper and ink ;)
ReplyDeleteYou've always made such great cards with Sandra's images. It looks like you may have dug into your stash of Turkish lace again for this beauty of a card. I'm glad that you're safe. Another stamping friend of mine was without electricity and water for several days. Let's pray this is the last of this crazy weather! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOoops! I forgot to add my other hobbies. I love to redo thrift store finds. I paint, sand, stain, add bling & more to things to make them come back to life. I also tinker with dollhouses & miniature scenes. My grandkids love to do any type of crafts with me like making cards for the local nursing home residents. I also make wreaths and other holiday decorations.
DeleteI hope you are staying warm. I like making cards. I do sew alittle. I made 175 masks for which I donated most of them.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so sweet and I do like that pretty lace along the bottom. I'm glad that things have improved where you live as I've been seeing really horrific scenes of all the hardship.
ReplyDeleteI have done a lot of different crafts over the years but my eyesight doesn't allow me to do much of it anymore. Stamping and card making are my main hobbies, with a little gardening mixed in.
