Hump Day Poll: Hobbies
My mom had a ton of hobbies. She was a scrapbooker , cardmarker, diamond art maker, slot machine jockey, bingo player, cross stitcher , occasional sewing thrown in when I was a kid to save money. She loved being creative. I also love being creative but haven't done much on that front. I suppose you could say my Etsy shop is about as creative as I've gotten lately but hobbies that become something you depend on money for, it becomes less fun and more job. (Not that that's producing anything right now anyway since I've not done a single thing with it yet this year because of the house chaos but I digress.) I have this bad habit of going full force into ideas and pooping out on them. I still have a bin full of stuff to make risers for stuff like soap, tea kettles , etc waiting for me to do something with them.

Hence, I mostly drink water. ROFL
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a tea drinker, but I do like hot chocolate, cider and eggnog. I'm not much of a drinker, but once in a while I do like to add a little "kick" to whatever I'm drinking.
ReplyDeleteHomemade hot chocolate, with chocolate pieces, and a shot (or two) of Peppermint Schnapps!
