Miscellaneous Monday

OK, I just stole the title of this post from Barbara Watson, but it is perfect for what I am blogging about today. Since I have been quite the slacker in blogging about writing-related topics I have decided to expand my blog to include all things created by me. I love all my hobbies (and yes, until I change my mindset and become more serious, writing falls into that category) and seem to go in spurts. Well, except for scrapbooking. That is an all-the-time hobby. When the weather turns colder I pull out my knitting needles, with big plans to knit everyone I know something for Christmas. When I see a  cool project in the local craft store flyer, I run out and get the supplies and am hot on that for a while. When I get on a reading streak I can read multiple books each week. Every so often I get an itch to make a quilt.

So hopefully there will be something of interest to anyone who stops by. I added a few blinkies to my sidebar and added a tab at the top that details my published creative work.

For today I thought I would show you the latest scrapbook page I completed. I use an all-digital format which I will explain more in a later post.

























This layout was designed using all Designer Digitals products.

The other creative thing shown here is the hat. I found this pattern and thought it would be good for my son. He approved and we took a trip to the yarn store so he could help choose the type and color of yarn. I am very happy to report that he was pleased with the results and I am looking forward to seeing him wear it this coming season. Click here for a link to where I posted this project on Ravelry.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you come back and see me again!

    Cool that you borrowed from awesome Barbara. Love learning more about the other things you enjoy doing. I used to knit too.

      Used to knit? What happened? Ha, ha... I know - life! I need an extra day every week just for me and my hobbies. :-)

    Love the hat! I crochet and quilt, though I don't have much time for them anymore. I love that you'll be sharing your other talents with us.

      Thanks Sara! I don't have time either, but somehow I get a little done here and there. Often in lieu of sleep!

    Yay for you! You are a very talented photographer, Julie, as well as a writer, quilter, scrapbooker, Mom, etc. All of which take copious amounts of creativity.

    And I have the feeling Barbara is so nice she wouldn't mind you "stealing" her blog post title. Bloggers do that sort of thing all the time, anyway.

    I'll be using this blog title more often -- and I love that you stole it. :-)

    Good for you for loving hobbies and making time for each of them! Especially when they provide beautiful pages like the one here. And you're creating memories with your kids when you involved them in your projects. Enjoy!

      Thanks Barbara! Thanks for stopping by. I sure hope the kids appreciate my scrapbooks when they grow up... my son adores his baby book and I hope he feels the same way about the pages I do now!
