Merry Christmas from Melanie Toye’s Hobbies

 I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. No matter how you spend your day today, I hope you are either crafted out and just enjoying a day off from crafting. Or you are just spending the day crafting! Enjoy! 

I wanted to thank you for this year. I appreciate that you have been visiting and reading my Hobbies blog and buying my ebooks.

I hope this day, whether your time is filled with being family or maybe you are by yourself. I want you to know you are not alone and what brings us together is our joy of hobbies.

I want you to think about what you made this year in your hobbies and celebrate your successes and your hobbies that didn’t quite turn out how you liked.

Christmas is about a feeling of specialness and magic. You can create this by crafting your very own Christmas decorations and decorate your home with. And if you are spending Christmas by yourself. Why not make something Christmassy on Christmas Day for you to feel proud of and make you smile for the rest of the day? 

If it’s crocheting you love, crochet something Christmassy. Maybe a snowman or for something more complicated a Santa or reindeer. 

If it’s diamond painting, maybe go online shopping for a Christmas diamond painting. Sure it may come after Christmas but you can always extend Christmas.

If you enjoy scrapbooking, try just scrapbooking a blank page filled with Christmas designs.

If you enjoy reading, you could buy a Christmas fiction ebook. Normally delivered to your device within minutes.

And if you want to write, maybe make the theme a Christmas theme. It could just be a scene of a chapter or use Pinterest to create a book inspiration board of a new story.

Christmas doesn’t have to be lonely. You can use it this day to create the magic from Christmas into your craft. If you do have family but can’t see them, make a phone call to brighten their day and yours. 

I wish you an amazing Christmas and thank you for visiting my blog.

How I use my home for craft

So my home is decorated by my craft.  For example, I have a craft room where I store my craft supplies and have space to do my craft and then I have in my lounge room showing my craft creations (pictured above) and also storing craft supplies like yarn, where I love to look at and think about the possibilities of what I can do with my craft supplies.  It makes me feel good to come home and be surrounded by my craft.  And it’s ok to never have your craft room finished. For me it’s a work in progress. I am always changing it and my supplies and where to showcase my supplies. This is because my interests change. One month I may be heavily into crocheting so I don’t need a table for that, I can just sit on the couch. I really just need storage for my yarn and crochet needles and my half completed crochet projects such as draws to cater for these.  Another month, I may be into scrapbooking so I do need a table for this, my set of draws for the stickers and tapes and then ...

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...
