I will have to get busy and take some pics.
I do a lot of various things, out side and in. I just built a garden, with a dry stone low rock wall. We had trees that shaded the lawn and nothing would grow. Looks better now.
I knit, crochet, quilt, love anything miniature, so the dollhouse thing was a great plan. I cross stitch, do crewel work. Hmm..there is more, and I will see if I have pics. I must have pics. Where I have pics is the question.
Oh...lol.. I sew, my latest creation was a frock right out of the Tudors. I know I have pics of that one....

I love crafts and art! 
My main craft used to be crocheting and knitting, but I have tendonitis in my left shoulder, so I don't do either nearly as much as I used to- but hey, it hasn't stopped me! 
I love to write, and I'm on my way to be a published novelist. I write novels, short stories, novellas, poems/prose... just about anything that goes through my mind, including some of the nightmares and intense dreams I have. I think I'm one of the few that welcome nightmares LOL Drawing I haven't done in a while, but I like to use sharpies to draw, don't know why though. That and now I'm trying to come up with ways to decorate my eGos, so I have a new craft right there!
Here are some of my crochet works:
The Panda Hat.
The blanket I gave to my Mom for Christmas. She loved it!
My famous red and black checker and striped blanket! I love this blanket so much it's a bit on the obsessive side
I can't find a picture of my knitted chain scarf, which is upsetting. Red and black alternating chain links. The thing is quite cozy!

Love the crochet Raynen- the red and black blanket looks really cozy.
Can't wait to see your pictures expat

Raynen I love the red and black! I have to get my family to model some of my stuff, usually I give my crafts away for gifts, my current project is just a simple scrap-blanket, nothing fancy.
Raynen, the hat - so cute! I wonder if you ski; a lot of skiers wear fun hats like that. And mom's blanket is beautiful.......but that red/black one is fabulous! It's sort of reminiscent of 60's op-art and no wonder you're attached to it!
Hi everyone, I'm new and haven't posted much, but this thread is right up my alley. Retired for now, but for years I worked for clothing designers on the east coast. Knitting and sewing are my poisons and I indulge, everyday. Once and a while I crochet, in fact, that is what I'm doing now, also embroider and smock. After working in the "rag" business for several years, I traded in sewing and needle work for cooking and became a personal chef. Most days now our spent cooking for hublet, his one son, his wife and the 3 grandkiddlets. Last Christmas, I made every single gift for both sides of our family.
Hublet and I moved here to the "Heartland" from Florida over 5 years ago. We bought an old stone farm house on 20 acres. We totally gutted the inside and refurbished to period. After working on the inside we put in a huge garden, fruit trees and berry bushes and started raising livestock. Spring, summer and the first part of the fall, I guess you could say my hobby is food, lol. We raise and or grow about 98% of what we consume. Now if I could just figure out how to make Scotch whiskey!
