I love to crochet. I give away a lot of things, usually as gifts, and sell some, too. I opened a storefront on Etsy.com (http://jillbeth.etsy.com) and also sell at craft bazaars. I love to make hats because they are quick to make and useful, too! I crocheted my five-month-old grandson a clown doll for Christmas and it is his favorite toy. I like to sew, also, and can do embroidery and needlepoint, but crochet is my first love.

Wow those are such cute little hats and the price is not bad either...I can make the hat itself but the flowers I don't know how to knit those yet or should I say crochet hehe...I love to do embroidery but only of flowers and birds don't like to do any of the other things that much oh yeah and those butterflies are cool too...

I have made and sold knitted items, such as sweaters and vests. I often knit scarves for gifts, or make beaded items. I don't have any kids, but I've gone into classrooms and made bead creatures with the students.

My favorite hobby is working on plastic canvas crafts. I have sold many different items at craft fairs. The prices vary. Most of my items are inexpensive. I have given many different items to our kids, friends and co-workers. Not as gifts but just because I wanted to share. My stock is suffering since myLot came into my life.

I make soap and bath products, candles, tarts, and my daughters favorite smelly jellies. My 6 year old helps me do most of it- though the soap she can't deal with until it settles down. She does design color and fragrance. I sell inexpensively as well- my bars are 2.50-3.50 and so are my lotions and such. My smelly jelly is going up for sale soon and those will be around 4-5 dollars, candles are around that too. I do a lot of custom work. I make a few bucks and save a lot in gifts plus we love to do- nothing better than all natural on your skin. I'm on Etsy as well- leansoapqueen.etsy.com.

i think everyone should have one hobby which will stick to them till the end of their lifes. my favorite hobby is canvas painting and embroidery.... i have painted till date 30 paintings. sold a few gifted a few. it also helps me to unwind and get closer to nature. i make it a point to finish one piece of work which i have started and than start the next one. i love to work with clay with my niece and see her recognize the shapes which i make...

I love Photography as well. I have made and sold numerous items. I sell my photos on Fotolia.com. I made both of my older children photo collages for Christmas and framed them. I plan on making some for the rest of my family throughout the year. I also make t-shirts and mousepads that I have sold as well.

hey cartoon.. we basically have the same hobbies. ^__^ i make address labels and everyday cards just as you make calendars and invitations. but i don't sell them. i give them to friends. ^__^ i also love cross-stiching just as you love knitting and embroidery. ^__^ but i don't get to do it often anymore. i used to do it a lot before when i was still a student. i have made lots of cross-stitches and most of it are displayed in our house. i think i have only done one for my teacher and she paid me for it. ^__^ i used to draw a lot too, before when i was still a student. i loved the hobby. i used to make coloring books which i sold to my friends and gave to my nieces. ^__^
