That's all I've got here, I need to figure out how to "craft" in Korea!!!<br /><br />ps I love reading your blog, you are the AWESOMEST sister ever!!! :DKristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487349631861068156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452577168555963735.post-58305650373238755542011-04-05T09:49:43.554-05:002011-04-05T09:49:43.554-05:00My most recent adventure is painting watercolor pi...My most recent adventure is painting watercolor pictures of geometry found in nature. I partially want to be good at watercolor because I feel like some of my other crafts aren't legit art. Ridiculous, I know. I will have a blog post about this eventually! Lately, I've been trying to combine the unexpected to create a new thing. For example, I loved old men's ties with crazy designs on them so I cut them up and sewed them into flowers (another thing I love) and then put them on necklaces as pins because I like making jewelry but I don't like buying new stuff and not reusing/recycling and I like things that are versatile. I also want to try to and have awesome flower beds with vegetables in them. Flowers are lovely, but impractical because even the ones I can eat don't produce much food. <br /><br />"people don't have hobbies anymore." <br /><br />I made it into a poem, another hobby of mine I guess:-)haha..<br /><br />People don't have hobbies.<br />They have TVs. <br />They have Netflix,<br />and Redbox <br />and movies streaming instantly.<br /><br />Hobbies aren't so practical. <br />And they don't make tons of dough.<br />Besides, I'm way to busy<br />To take time to learn to sew. <br />Do I really need to when,<br />It's cheaper to buy it at Walmart?<br /><br />And, I've got to have the money <br />to pay off all my debt.<br />My son wants a new iPhone<br />And I think he'd throw a fit,<br />If I were to give him <br />Homemade socks instead.<br /><br />But now you've made me late,<br />I have an extra shift at work.<br />Before I leave I have to check<br />My email/facebook/twitter accounts.<br />I'll get a hobby when I'm old.Linneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099537831557398226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452577168555963735.post-67560299177459234662011-04-04T22:05:21.494-05:002011-04-04T22:05:21.494-05:00This is awesome!

Other people I know are too busy for hobbies. (I love to garden - it is my best hobby. Flowers only. But I can only do it in the summer, not just because the weather only allows for summer growing, but mostly because it is when I am not working, thus, I have free time. Man, this is all a bunch of ramblings, but I hope I win.<br />Love, <br />your BFFPiep Showhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268281472337698142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452577168555963735.post-46672111072366500902011-04-04T21:17:53.222-05:002011-04-04T21:17:53.222-05:00I also would love to sew better...I made one baby ...I also would love to sew better...I made one baby quilt and hung my machine up. :)<br />Another thing I would like to get better at is vacationing.

Sitting in the greenhouse and soaking in the sun, getting away from everything. <br /><br />second entry-<br />Hobbies have died with the invention of technology, to most people. Back when transportation, communication, and electronics weren't readily available, people made use of their minds and talents by way of music, art, knitting, etc. And now, when you've got a job, a family, and other time consuming things, it's hard to remember to set aside time for yourself to do things that you used to enjoy.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931350929968577240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452577168555963735.post-1206091381574880852011-04-04T20:08:58.450-05:002011-04-04T20:08:58.450-05:00I have several hobbies, like writing, reading, cha...I have several hobbies, like writing, reading, charcoal drawing, knitting, crocheting, but I'd always love to pick up MORE. Great idea, Ashley! People don't seem to have hobbies anymore-I totally agree. It's way easier to fill one's time with tv or computers or videogames (all of which are good, but let's kick it oldstyle, people!).<br />I sense hobby-nights in our futures...Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981874015076364684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452577168555963735.post-81354759734862368012011-04-04T20:02:25.978-05:002011-04-04T20:02:25.978-05:00Well, I'm still working on the photography thi...Well, I'm still working on the photography thing, but I also really want to learn how to sew.
