Nerds With Birds

We have so many hobbies that we had to turn our garage into a hobby room.

We have a glass area - which includes tools for stained glass making, glass bead making and making mosaic tiles/glass/cement.

We also have a screenprinting area. This one is mainly Jays hobby - I’m not to much for that but I do like the shirts he has made :)

Needlefelting - another one of Jays hobbies. It is so neat to have a ball of fluff and turn it into something!

There is a sewing table for all my sewing goodness *haha* I’m still a newbie at this but I get better with each project.
I love to scrapbook - and have a million supplied for all that. I’m always on the lookout for new papers and trinkets that I can use in my books.

I have to admit…I am a yarn whore. I collect yarn *L* if it’s on clearance I’m gonna buy it. So I have a pretty decent yarn stash for my knitting and crochet projects. My current projects include:

• Crochet items : Toast Scarf, Soap Holder, Purse

• Re-fashioning clothes (ie:sweats/pants into shirts/capris)

• Making charms (my home made version of jibbits) for our Crocs & figures out of clay.

• Re-fashioning Furniture

Things I need to complete my hobby room:

• kiln
• pottery wheel
• better soldering iron
• Dremel 400 xpr

Things I’d like to learn:

• Handspinning : This will be the next craft I learn
• Quilting by hand
