This time of year, I always get in the mood to bake, craft, and generally just homemake. \u00a0Are there other crafts\/hobbies you enjoy doing besides just scrapbooking? \u00a0Here are a few of my favorites, I&#8217;d love to hear about yours!<\/p>\n<p>1. Knitting\/Crocheting<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, I can do both! I&#8217;m talented that way \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0I find knitting or crocheting something while watching TV relaxes me like nothing else, but also makes me feel like I&#8217;m accomplishing something so that I don&#8217;t feel TRULY lazy. \u00a0Most recently, I crocheted this owl hat for Finn&#8217;s Halloween costume:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=206068&amp;title=you-27re-a-hoot&amp;cat=500\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"finnhat\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/data\/524\/youre-a-hoot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. Sewing<\/p>\n<p>Ok, I don&#8217;t do this as often because I find it unnecessarily stressful. But I still pin a bunch of sewing projects on Pinterest and hope for the day I actually LIKE sewing. \u00a0I haven&#8217;t sewn anything in a few years, but I lovemaking useful things like these pajamas I made a few years ago for the kids..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=118864&amp;title=outer-space-jammies&amp;cat=500\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"jammies\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/data\/524\/outerspacejammies.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. Baking and Cooking<\/p>\n<p>I think I prefer making dinner over baking but I do a lot of both. \u00a0I LOVE trying new recipes and discovering awesome food! \u00a0This summer we did a lot of pancake drawing and I made these adorable cookie monster cookies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=194931&amp;title=c-is-for-cookie&amp;cat=500\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"cookies\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/data\/524\/c-is-for-cookie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I dabble in other things, like painting and pastels. \u00a0But besides my work (which is a huge creative outlet) I love the above. \u00a0What do you do besides scrapbooking to express your creativity?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, here&#8217;s this week&#8217;s Layout of The Week! I love the journaling on this layout by irish_eyes22 about her first Christmas with her SO. I also love how she took Cindy&#8217;s journaling templates and added pictures!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=206429&amp;title=christmas-2002&amp;cat=594\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"irisheyes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/data\/594\/Christmas2001_CTFont-Rubia_150sfw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone! \u00a0Traci here and I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about OTHER crafts I really enjoy.
