Hello. My name is Pat. I firmly believe that people need hobbies to keep themselves busy but also as a way to reflect upon the world and indulge in the delight of creativity. I love tackling projects or learning new things, but my favorite crafts and hobbies are scrapbooking and knitting. In this blog, I want to share my passion about crafting and hobbies. I will write instructional guides, tips on getting inspired, overviews of unique crafts and hobbies, and more. I am a mom of two grown girls, and I have one grandson. I hope you enjoy these blogs. Thanks for reading and happy crafting!
