Monthly Photo Challenge: November - Tools for Hobbies

The theme for November's Monthly Photo Challenge, hosted by Eileen at A Bracelet of Days, was "Tools for Hobbies"; specifically the tools/equipment used for hobbies and interests.  These are the pictures I took:


Knitting Needles and Stitch Holder


Crochet Hooks (including my mother's steel
crochet hook which is a bit bent with use)


Stylus, Bead Tray, Glue and Drills (or "Diamonds")


Paint Brushes, Paints, Palette 


Decorative Edged Scissors, Paper, Stencils, Glue Sticks


Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks


Mixing Bowl, Measuring Cups and Spoons, Whisk


Vases, Kenzan, Secateurs


Pot, Trowel, Seed Packets, Watering Can, and
Gloves (peeking from behind the seed packets)

 
Pins, Needles, and Notions

The only thing I can say is, I have too many hobbies and interests!  

Thank you, Eileen, for another fun monthly photo challenge theme.  Looking forward to December's theme!

  3. Ha ha, we share many hobbies. Although I forgot about gardening, that's more of a lifestyle than a hobby for me!

  6. No such thing as too many hobbies and interests! As long as you are fulfilled, and have time and energy to do them justice.

    1. Thank you, Lady Ella. Sometimes, I feel like I don't have enough time for all the hobbies, but, that's okay. :)

  7. What a good idea for a photo challenge. I think I once used to own a Kenzan but I'm not sure where it is now. I guess I must have gone back to the "stick it in a vase" form of flower arranging!

    2. Ooops - I started a reply and then hit something and it disappeared. Apologies if you get this (or part of it as I wasn't finished) twice.
      I really enjoyed this post and seeing all your crafty bits.
      The flower frog is a nice old one. You call it a kenzan?
      I have not heard of that word. It certainly is a nice old one.
      Those measuring cups are cute!

    3. No worries. I've only had this one comment from you on this post, Debra.
      I've too many crafty bits! I didn't take any pictures of my sewing machine, the embroidery hoops, the punch needle, etc. Like I said, too many hobbies!
      Yes, the flower holder is one that is used in Japanese flower arranging and it is called a kenzan. I don't really know how to do Japanese flower arrangements, but, every now and then, I try. :D
      I bought the measuring cups at the dollar store several years ago. I bought a couple of sets and gifted one to my daughter's friend and daughter said she saw them on display at her friend's apartment when she was there last week.
