Mono Monday - Hobby

I would say today that photography has become the hobby on which I spend most time but that hasn't always been the case.  Throughout my adult life I have enjoyed all sorts of needlecraft:  dressmaking, making soft furnishings embroidery, tapestry, patchwork are some. In recent years these have taken a back seat as I don't seem able to find the time - it is a mystery to me how, when I had 3 young children, I seemed to have plenty of time to stitch..... but now....maybe it has something to do with the arrival of the PC and the internet!

My daughter's request to make my granddaughter a Christmas stocking persuaded me to get out my sewing things again:  here are just a very few of them pictured with a little needle case which I must have stitched some 40 years ago.

Thank you again to Skeena for hosting once more this very popular challenge and remaining so calm during all the upheaval of the recent drastic change to Blip!
