Crafts Sewing

What are you favorite crafts? Do you have the problem of time and energy to do your crafts? Do you sell them?

I find myself feeling guilty to sit down and do my crafts(yarn blankets, sewing, (I even have a paint by number I’d love to sit and do and puzzles-I glue them and hang them up-thomas kinkade puzzles that is)….anyways I was saying I feel tooo guilty to sit and do them when theres always housework to do!

Don’t know if I should feel out of place or not as I appear to be the only man answering this question. I do a lot of woodworking, pens, jewelry boxes, etc.. Time and energy are a constant problem although for different reasons than you ladies have, I worry about cleaning when I run out of coffee cups, To date, I have sold everything I’ve made with the exception of the things intended as gifts.. At present I have enough orders to keep me busy for a couple of months if I could work full time on them. Unfortunately my part time job turned full time prevents that. I’m a retired paramedic who began my hobby as a way to stay busy. My part time job and my hobby have both grown to a point that I’m a lot busier than I ever intended.
