My hobby- plastic canvas needlepoint

[Country homesteader]

This is a project that I was making for an Uncle of mine for his Christmas gift but as you can see it's not finished yet. I'm actually making it without a pattern just got a pic in my head of how I want and expect it to look when I'm finally able to finish it.
I think with me undertaking this kind of project it's teaching me how to be patient and to take my time.

That is really neat! I like it My hobby is making quilts, 100% by hand. Talk about learning to be patient! lol

I also crochet. That is so relaxing and helps me ease up my stress level but only when the project I'm working on decides it wants to cooperate. LOL

That is so cute!

@sumi - quilts? You've been hiding your talents! Pics?

FEM I think I have a thread on it here somewhere…. I'll see if and bump it up with pics from my newest one.

I wish I could knit seeing how projects would go fastest but I have 2 left thumbs. Lol

Knitting is fun! I learned to when I was a child, but I haven't knitted anything in many years now. I thought of taking up the hobby again, as knitting is HUGELY popular here (in Ireland) and wool is so much easier to find than fabric for quilting, but I guess I'm hooked on sewing.

These are all great "winter" projects -- at least that's when I used to get most of them worked. Notice I say "used to". Don't do much of any of it now. Should but, has slipped out of my focus of something to do. Hope that I will take back to sewing more this winter. Must have enough material to make clothes for several families! Sometimes I whip up some things to take with me to festivals along with goat soaps. Depends on my mood.

Used to do a LOT of needlepoint and clothes for "everyone". My kids & I wore custom clothes for years. Proms & weddings were always special sewing events.

I haven't done any plastic canvas for years! But, it's something I enjoy. A friend has a whole Christmas "village". I think someone did it for her. I would love to either find the pattern(s), or just copy it.

I've been learning how to crochet. I'm making afghans for everyone for Christmas. I'm done 2, started on #3, and will have one more to do after that. I don't have as much time now as I did earlier in the year.

I agree with you on not having enough time unlike earlier this year.
