Hooray to "This and that"
Couple days ago Coloursknits wrote "This and That". Hooray to that!! I'm into all kinds of crafts too, I can't imagine my life without crafts. I've done cross stitch, Chinese knotting, paper cutting, beading, rubber stamping, crocheting and of course knitting. I almost forgot all of my past FOs that were non-knitting. Here are some of them;
Few years ago I was all rubber stamping, I went to stamping demos, classes and even drove to neighbor state to be at a stamp show. After my little one (he is 3 now) was born, I kinda had to give up on stamping (at least for a while), stamping needs a lot of time and space which I didn't have back then. And on a trip to SFO, I saw a flight attendant knitting a scarf using eyelash yarn, I knew I found a new hobby. I went to my mom's house and dug out all my knitting supplies, went to Michaels and got myself whole bunch of Lion Brand eyelash yarns and knit knit knit. I went from eyelash scarves to ponchos to sweaters, I'm happy with this hobby, I love that I can carry my projects almost everywhere and work on it anytime (but not my stamping). I still love stamping, I still pay attention to what's new in stamping world, if there is a "star" teacher (like Tim Holtz) showing up at Carolina Moon, I'll sign up immediately. Oh, I really miss my stamps...

I know, I miss my stamps too. Like you said, rubber stamping needs time and space. With Connor next to me most of the day, I couldn't do any rubber stamping. I am hoping to pick it up again someday. I wonder if the ink pads will still be good by then? Oh - I spent quite a bit of money on all those ink pads too...
