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!

As you get ready to begin your project, use these tips to ensure that you love the results when you are finished.
