January is National Hobby Month

while perusing the web tonite, i came across the fact that this month is nat'l hobby month. wow--who knew? i tried to find out more, but the websites were kind of lame. a couple talked about hobbies, like stamp collecting or collecting disney stuff. boring!

when i think of hobbies, i think of knitting, or sewing, or x-stitch, or painting, or scrapbooking, or beading, or .....

and because #1 son went back to school today, i had time to dive into my craft room. i got 2 whole hours to myself to play with my papers, chipboard, stamps and other fun stuff. it was so fun, and went by way too fast. i'm thinking i can cocoon in there again on wed afternoon.

i'm also finishing up a quick scarf for a friend who doesn't knit. i need to send it off to her this week before winter is over and she doesn't need it.

how bout you? what hobbies are you tackling this month? do you craft with your kiddos? with a group? or by yourself?
