Its for many hobbies?

Ehhhhheheheheheheh.
On occasion I draw, write, sculpt, craft 3d cards, make necklaces, bracelets, rings, flower drying, making mini nots in a bottle, origami, carving, sewing cosplay outfit, plushies, scent bags, make keychains and mix teas.
And cooking, painting charms, sealing flowers and such in resin and trying my hand in nail art.

Usually I get very into it for a few days and then get distracted. Sometimes because I spot something else interesting and sometimes cause I can't get the hang of it. So I have a closet full of supplies so I can pick up any of the old hobbies again when the mood strikes me.

I did once try knitting, but I somehow ended up tying my hands together.

Im an artist for a living~ i mostly work in digital medium, but i sometimes make other things~
Im native american, so i like to craft dream catchers and things made of wood and yarn.
I also wood burn!

In case anyone's been wondering, this is what I've been up to lately.

Goodness, that's awesome!

I've picked up embroidery again, which I haven't done since elementary school. Not that I have any needles with an eye big enough for embroidery floss... Embroidering what will be a pillow for myself right now, all freehand because I prefer designing my own and not dealing with patterns. It probably won't look great up close, but it's for myself so it doesn't really matter.

I've also decided that I really want to try crochet, so I'm going to go get some supplies for that and learn as I go. I never do anything the "right" way because I like to teach myself, so we'll see how that goes. The basic stitches look simple enough. This is part of my determination to learn how to make all the various things my great-grandma and grandma on the other side used to make for people; embroidered pillowcases/towels, crochet blankets, and handmade ornaments, mostly.

Ayakashi, that's beautiful! We have some handmade ones like that in our collection.

I seem to have taken up knitting... got the front back and a bit of a sleeve done of my very first jumper. This worries me somewhat - after very many years of doing all sorts of crafts* all of which have been purely decorative (soap making aside) I'm now doing something practical and useful. Does this mean I'm growing up or something? Not sure I like it!

embroidery, tatting, model horse customising, miniature tack making, miniature cart making, calligraphy, sculpting... and that's just a few.

Most of my day consists of checking several pet sites and then drawing. I LOVE to draw (Even though im not very good), And that's basically all that i do. I draw little characters that i make up, and they have their own little world. Most of them look surreal, not like realistic creatures or even fantasy creatures. They are made of memories, Because most of my characters and stuff are dead. And by "Made of memories", I mean that they take on any shape or form pertaining to their past life. Soooo, most of them are pretty surreal.
People keep telling me that im either not good or too good, and that I should stop before I start drawing even more "disturbing" things. (This is mostly coming from my dad, but my mom thinks this all comes from my learning disability/ the scar on my face and just rolls with it. They both cool tho) Also I have sort of a melting/slime/multicolored needles fetish. I dont really get turned on by it, but I really like looking at it and it seems so... I dont know. I just like it a lot. (Getting back on topic!) I used to sew a lot, back when I was 10 or 11, but then I realized it sucked and gave up a lot. I Had never been good at sewing or working with cloth and needles of any sort... Its just that whenever I try I just end up sucking it up. So yeah!

I need to take some pictures of things I've been doing lately. I decided I crochet now, and since then I have a small lap blanket, a scarf and a winter headband, and fingerless gloves already done, as well as three more scarves in progress. Soon I'm going to get a smaller hook so I can work with embroidery thread--I want to try making some crocheted jewelry. Meanwhile, my actual embroidery and beading projects are sitting sadly by the wayside as I play with yarn.

I love to knit and I am currently working on a project for my best friend. I have only been dating for about a year or two, but I really enjoy it and it makes my grandmother happy to see that I am doing it because she loves to do it too. Of course my first project wasn't all that great and I have a lot of projects that I started and never finished, but that gives me inspiration and ideas to do for other projects.
Someday I would also love to take up quilting. I had a friend who quilted for a charity and whenever they finished they would give them to either an orphanage or a homeless shelter, and I thought that sounded super cool.
I also love to color and draw. I don't do it as much as I used to anymore, but I try to do it as often as I can.
There have been things that I've gotten a lot of Kits for, like crocheting and embroidery, but like I said in the meeting I would start it and never pick it back up to finish it.
I also sew, but I haven't done that in a while.
Of course, I could go on but this list would just get too long.
