Etsy?
Etsy is a site where you can buy and sell handmade products - including handmade jewelery, bags and even some clothing - of which some are knitted and / or crocheted. I also liked seeing the various food-related products for sale - especially the different kinds of tea! I love having a "spot of tea every now and then!
But you know what else it got me to thinking about? Me and the kinds of "crafts" that I myself have created and the fact that I even have the ability to do so!
What can I do? Well of some of the products that I have seen on Etsy, I have come to realize that I can knit, crochet and especially SEW - since I'm always repairing and mending stuff! (I also like to cook too!) I have seen a lot of cute things being sold on Etsy that look like the kind of thing that I could whip up!
Another thing too is that all the skills mentioned above are also very relaxing things to do and I especially like doing it while watching a good movie!
It's also taking me back to a time that was more simpler where being able to do things like knitting and crocheting didn't seem to be so old-fashioned - in fact it was sometimes a necessity.
And that is reminding of why I chose to be a hedgewitch in the first place which is because the meaning to me is of the traditional witch that uses the supplies that they have at hand! (Think I'm feeling a past-life flashback coming on!)
It's also got me curious about what my fellow witches and reader have as hobbies and/or talents such as the above?
Now that I have acknowledged (both to myself and to you) my "other talents - let's hear about yours!
And - PS - this just gives me more pictures that I have to post which now includes things that I have made!

So ... you've found Etsy, eh? Well, I hope you grow to love it - it is a great community of all kinds of talented crafters!
:)
I homestead, so I'm very big on "old fashioned" skills. I knit, sew,
crochet, brew beer and blacksmith.
Things I would like to add to my skill set soon (have materials...just need the time!): basketry, spinning, weaving, pottery, and cheese making.
I LOVE the old-fashioned things!
Even in this so-called "modern" world I think the old-fashioned stuff still has a place in it.
Some skills that I would also like to add to my skill set include baking! I would love to get back to that as I have done it in the past!
