Natalie’s Hobbies, Part 2

Hi again everyone!

Today’s post is about my hobby of crafting. I love doing all sorts of different crafts! My best friend, Mary, and I even try to get together every week on zoom to catch up and craft together but apart. So what do I actually do for crafting? I paint (not my best strength), paper craft, make homemade cards with my Cricut Maker and Cricut Joy, color, add designs and images to shirts and onesies using heat transfer vinyl, other vinyl crafts, knit, crochet, etch, make candles, and sew (again not a big strength). My favorite crafts are anything with my cricut machines. I’m working on making wall decorations for our nursery out of cardstock and vinyl cut with the cricut and they are looking nice so far. I’ve also had the opportunity to design a new logo for our neighborhood association and make the note cards we use as thank you cards to send to speakers and event donors/sponsors. It is actually something I’m really proud of!

Lately, I have been working on paint by number paintings of Goldy. It is so much fun seeing some of my favorite photos of him come to life in a painting. The first one I did was a Christmas gift last year from my sister and it got me started. Before I even finished that one, I ordered my next one from the same company because I was having so much fun painting Goldy!

What about you? Do you guys craft? What do you make?
