Hobbies & Collectibles

Hobbies


I love to do just about any craft, my favorites are cross stitch, plastic canvas and crocheting.  But sometimes your hobbies can turn into one big job.  Last year for Christmas (1996), I decided to make Bob's girls afghans.  I started in plenty of time, knowing that I would have to make 3......WOW !!!!!  I got the last one done 2 weeks for before Christmas and had them all wrapped.  I thought I had it made...that was a mistake, (I should never think) !!!!! One of the girls decided to change her color scheme in her living room and guess what.....the afghan did not match at all.  So, being the person that I am, I started another one. This last one became a job to me (not fun).  I got it done and wrapped on Christmas eve and I haven't picked up a crochet needle since. But my daughter-in-law loved it, she got the spare afghan. 

Well, it's 1998, and have picked the ole crochet hook back up.......I decided to make me an afghan.  I think I need a new one  :) 

Collectibles


Speaking of Christmas, I collect Santas.  At last count I had 150, in all shapes and sizes, some handmade and some bought. My daughter, has always given me a Santa every year for Christmas.  I think the one I like the best, is the one she made me in ceramics.  It's a floral centerpiece with matching candlestick holders.  It is absolutely beautiful. 


I also started a collections of "Yesterday's Child" by The Boyds Collection.  These dollstone are absolutely beautiful.  At the present time this is what I have in my collection.
