I have been so totally wrapped up in cross stitching that I have been neglecting just about everything else. I have been a busy little bee turning sayings and other things, mostly sayings into little cross stitch pieces. I truly do love stitching. It is one of my favorite things to do. It could, if I am not careful, consume all of my time. Not only that I feel the say way about writing. I need to be divided into two people. I am a very lucky person in that I can be involved in both of my passions. Not may people are that lucky. How about you? Do you have anything that you are passionate about doing?

I used to love to needlepoint and do embroidery. I'm passionate about writing and, when I have time, reading.

Reading, I love to read, but I also love embroidery, not stitching.

@LadyDuck Is it hard to do? It looks so delicate and involved.

Embroidering is also a good thing. I wish also that somewhere along the way I had learned tatting. I love the look of it.

I like that there are so many you can't do them all. It means the minds is busy.

@crazyhorseladycx I just like to stay busy. As for projects it does make me a little uncomfortable to have unfinished projects.

It's good to have a passion to alleviate the boredom. I have several passions, writing is my first love though. I also love to sew, cook, bake, and read.

@HazySue I forgot swimming. Yes, without those passions, we would be bored silly.

I used to stitched when I was in my twenties. I am passionate about knitting besides baking. Sometimes, I knit my own pullover.

LOL--I just wrote about my love of writing. I get so into what I'm writing that I feel sad when I know I'm coming to the end of a story.

It is an ending of sort with your characters or subject. I always feel elation and sadness when I end a story or book. I think it is because I know that I am saying goodbye to characters that I have become attached to.

It doesn't have to be a passion for writing or crafting, it can be a passion for anything.

@DianneN Neither have I. Give me a good book or a needle, aida cloth and some embroidery and I can keep myself entertained for hours.

My mother loves to do cross stitching. I tried it once, but couldn't keep the needle threaded. I do like doing my latch hook rug, but I haven't done it in two weeks.

I find that stitching helps me relax. Maybe doing a latch hook rug does the same thing for you.

Writing is my first love; but I also like doing some crafts like you. It keeps me busy and prevents boredom; I tried to crochet and knit. Knitting is harder; did also some embroidery which I presumably inherited from my late mother.

@samysotelo18 I can draw a little and that was with a lot of effort. I wish it would come naturally. I will give it a try again.

I still do crochet at times. I don't have enough time to do it all so I have to pick and choose.

Poetry, short story writing and reading. Gardening and yes, a houseful of animals.

I don't really have such strong passions. Quilting consumes most waking hours of one of my friend's.
