Hobbies/Collecting. What's yours?

[darkiceis]

Everyone has something they love to do or collect.  What's yours?

-I am a huge Sailor Moon fan and have a rather large collection, and still growing. I suppose I consider it both, a hobby and collecting

❤️ Moonie for life ❤️

-Limited Edition Disney dolls from The Disney Store, these dolls are just gorgeous

@darkiceis I collect perfumes, with a special place in my heart for Jo Malone!

My dresser, featuring all of my full size perfumes. 

My nightstand with my JM collection.

 

One day I’ll organize my purse spray collection. I recently gave away all of my perfume minis because I just didn’t have room for them.

I absolutely love seeing your amazing perfume collection, @LCResz! I know how much you love your Job Malone perfumes in particular.

[NinaNee]

@LCResz oh wow! That's a great collection! 

[Skunk12puzzola]

@LCResz wow, just wow 🥰 I like this one from Jo Malone Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne 

[LCResz]

@Skunk12puzzola English Pear & Freesia is great! It can be worn by itself or be layered with other scents, not just other JM fragrances.

@LCResz I didn't know that, thanks for the tip!!

I taught myself the very basic crochet stitches from a book back in high school over 15 years ago but quit because it was too hard. I picked up a hook again when the pandemic started. My daughter had a great teacher that year who made zoom clubs available for kids every day after school. One club was crochet and I had to relearn so I could help my daughter. Little did I know at the time that crocheting would be my new hobby. Here are just a couple of stuff that I made in the last few months. I don't take ownership of the patterns. I'm not good at pattern making.

I just finished this crochet bee blanket as a gift. I absolutely loved how it turned out and want to make one for myself.

 

My son had asked if I could make him a hyena since it's his new favorite animal.

This was a cute backpack that I made just to keep busy.

My son asked if I could crochet him some amigurumis to pass out for valentines. I actually missed the deadline so his classmates received them a bit late. These are reversible corgis.

I made this raccoon duo for a dear friend as her and her husband for valentines. 

A friend had asked me if I could crochet a pair of baby Jordan's for her.

I made this bunch of amigurumis for Christmas gifts.

[NinaNee]

@Skunk12puzzola  thank you! I've become addicted to crocheting now.

@NinaNee @Oh wow that’s incredibly impressive 

[NinaNee]

@Kim888 thanks! I've made a big improvement from when I started crocheting again.

[lmaster]

Unbelievable!!! @NinaNee you are amazing!!!

[NinaNee]

@lmaster thanks! I'm still learning new techniques and stitches all the time.

[Samtian]

@NinaNee Those are incredible! That hyena is amazing!!!

[NinaNee]

@Samtian thanks! My son want a hyena that looked more realistic, we were so happy with the outcome.

@NinaNee, love that you picked crochet back up and how it’s turned into a new hobby. Wow!! These are absolutely incredible! 😍 All the amigurumis are adorable, and that purse and bee blanket are beautiful. 

[NinaNee]

@itsfi thanks! I'm so glad I picked up crocheting again. I have really fallen in love with it. I find it so therapeutic.

@darkiceis I've been meaning to post some pics of my pencil collection.  Here are just a few:

From left to right: A llama pencil from Box Lunch, Batman and Wonder Woman pencils with erasers as capes (very unique!) that I probably picked up from Target, and an FDNY fire engine from LaGuardia Airport.

From left to right: A trash can filled with erasers (I have no idea where I got it), Egyptian pencil from the Luxor (the last time I was there as a poor college student it was a pencil lover's paradise), Big Apple pencil (another from the airport), and a pencil filled with pearls I got from a souvenir shop at a cavern we went to.

From left to right: State of Liberty and Twin Towers (more from my NYC collection) and an embellished Hello Kitty pencil I probably hot from either Hallmark or American Greetings.
