Hobbies

Spencer has been telling me for awhile now that I need a hobby.  My response has always been "Hobbies are expensive".  Now that we have a house I have found some practical hobbies... kind of.  Thanks to Elder Uchtdorf's talk in the General Relief Society meeting a few weeks ago I have decided maybe it is time I develop my creative talent I have been told I have.  So here is my start.

First I broke out the sewing machine that I have had in storage for a couple of years.  Then went shopping at the Cotton Shop and googled a patter and here you have it.  





Brand new old pillow!

In celebration of Halloween I decided to copy my talented Aunt Rebecca an make some spooky sugar cookies.  I have always liked to decorate sugar cookies but this is not betty crocker.  I know that coloring is off but that just means I will have to try it again.  I think this hobby might cause another hobby.  Working Out!








Here is the sign I have been in the process of making for a couple of weeks now. I love this saying. I can't decide if it needs any more sanding?

So cute & crafty! Hobbies are expensive, but it feels so good once you accomplish them! They turned out really good.
