Would this forum be more appropriately be designated as a "new category" which could contain individual forums which would include a variety of different hobbies and crafts (collecting, stitchery, candlemaking), or should it remain a forum within the "Gardening Friends" category?

Let's see what else do I do besides gardening???
I love to do crafts, although I hardly do any of them lately, but I make all sorts of T~shirts, sweatshirts, earrings, necklaces, etc.
I would love to get into candle making. njoynit and I have talked about that, I'm hoping over the winter she can give me some pointers, and do's and don'ts.
I have a fish tank, and we really like that. Thinking about getting a bigger one... It is so cool to have an whole different little world to look in on..........
I do a little dried arrangements...... I save things from my garden and make little arrangements, either in a vase or in a container............ That's fun, and does tie in with gardening, the things you can grow to save later.....
I'll think of a few more, as I go along. We'd like to hear about your hobbies, knitting, cross~stich, macramae', sewing, All sorts of things!!
Let's hear from you!!!

I like the idea of this forum within the garden friends category because:
1. everyone here is so friendly 2. I like being able to ask a question no matter the simplicity or complexity and someone will have an opinion or answer. and 3. there are a lot of crafts that bleed over from or to our gardens!
Bill, Weezie, you are geniouses!

Hi, Guys, When I'm not gardening, my favorite hobby is sewing. I've been at it for over 50 years and never tire of creating something on my sewing machine and serger. Right now its curtains, tablecloths and cushion covers for my sunporch. Thirteen years ago it was wedding gowns for both daughters and accessories for daughter-in-law, all in one year. In between I did custom sewing for two years. Found out that you need to be near a large city to make money at that. I recently did a quilt wall hanging for the local Cancer Coalition and am getting very interested in Project Linus that provides blankets for children in crisis. Do play around with crafts, too. I have a large former bedroom dedicated to crafts and sewing and when I'm not at my computer you will find me there or in the garden (with a little time out to clean the house). Am in my 4th year as a 4-H sewing leader. Would love to hear about the recent projects others have been doing. Always looking for new ideas.

Carol, That's great with the quilts!!! My sister did the Brownies and she had the girls do quilts for the seniors!!! And they did one for some of the kids in the cancer places. That is so nice. I have a special place that tugs at my heart, is St. Judes. (when I win the lottery, I'd love to set up something for crafts for the kids to do at that place!!!) You are one busy lady!!! Boy, I wish I had a empty room for my crafts. The one I had eye~balled for my crafts will have someone else in it, and but that'll be good. Later on when it empties again, way down the line, I'll get to do what you did!!! Weezie

I am a crafty person. I enjoy cross stitch and beading. As well as, of course, the computer. I am addicted to playing Hearts on-line. And www.neopets.com too.
The beading project that I work most on is for our local pregnancy crisis center.
We make Rosary Bracelets on Memory wire. We sell them anywhere and everywhere.
The crisis center helps women of all ages that are pregnant unexpectedly. They help with groceries, diapers, utilities, any need. And only when necessary, adoption placement.

* * * * I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
I have done business with these two companies for years!!! I have never had any complaints with them, I think once or twice some things were out of stock, and either replaced with a check or subsitutes. I enjoyed my deliveries every time.
