I recently realised that my work used to be my hobby and despite the fact that I don't really have time to have a hobby I have been searching for something to do in my downtime. I seem to fill my time with work and even when I try to sit and just watch TV I always feel like I have to keep my hands busy. Last night in a bid to do something besides a late night of work I started decorating some envelopes and writing some little notes for some special friends. Loads of washi tape, doilies, glassine paper and twine...fun! I really enjoyed the decorating and realised I need to get crafty on things that don't involve my work. With Christmas around the corner I see some handmade gifts on the horizon.
