Thursday Threesome: Knit One, Purl Too
Onesome- Knit one: Do you have a crafty hobby? Knitting, stitching, scrapbooking or model building, whatever it is, tell us about it! Or is there a crafty hobby you'd like to take up if had the time and/or money to do so?
A crafty hobby? A? Well, yes and no. I do, but I don't have time to pursue any of them very often. Among the things I've done in the past and still have the supplies for, the two that I'm most likely to continue with are fountainmaking and beadwork. I'm tolerably good at beadwork; I can put together a beaded amulet bag and other pattern-work as well as simple necklaces. I'm not so great at fountainmaking; getting one that functions is easy, getting one that satisfies me? Hah! I've also done some mask-making and, by and large, not been pleased with the result, but you never know when I might take it up again.
I stink at sewing, though I always seem to intend to learn more, it never happens. I hated cross stitch (boring) and decorative painting (ditto and more trouble to clean up). Though I likely still have some of the supplies for each...I know I do have some of the painting stuff still. Sigh.
I don't think keeping a physical journal with occasional hints of scrapbooking, drawing, or the like really counts as a "crafty" hobby since it is almost all about the writing. But hey, why not mention it anyway.
Twosome- Purl: Or rather, pearl. What's your birthstone? And while you're at it, what's your sign? *g*
Garnet, Capricorn. (Or, for the joke approach, "Beware of Programmer.")
Threesome- Too: Too much? Have you had enough of the political coverage already? ...or are you waiting for things to really gear up in the Fall?
AUGH! I hate political coverage. I hate hate hate it. Mud-slinging and slant and careful choice of what to show...and this three-ring circus that is the American political scene this year is aggravating. I hate Bush; I like Kerry better but the man is far from perfect; and what I really want is a do-over with all-new candidates.
And a shorter "election season". Why do I have to listen to these yapping commercials (they even hit the radio, though I'm ever so glad I don't watch TV) for so bloody long no less?
