hmmmmm where to begin?.... Mom was (now retired) a home ec teacher, so I tried a lot of things at a fairly young age ... learned to really enjoy doing many of them. I knit ... have done some really time consuming and detailed sweaters .... love the process of watching all the pieces fall into place ... but I don't wear sweaters so friends and family were usually the recipients of what I made - always specifically decieded upon for that person anyway. I also do counted cross stitch and have done some really beautiful patterns ... mainly of women (different times, cultures, etc.) But have also done various other types as gifts for others. I hand bead onto fabric for projects ... even have done some heavily hand beaded lamp shades for special gifts for friends. I crochet (though I really prefer knitting). I write poetry and songs and sing as well ... ..... blah blah blah .... 
I do have to say that people have often asked me how much I would charge for a certain item and other then a few things that I have done for charity auctions, I always tell them that they couldn't afford to pay me enough, but someday I might gladly do it for caring/love.

Woodworking has become my passion...in spite of the fact that it puts my fingers at risk with power tools (I can see myself losing a finger & never playing the guitar again...<<shudder>>>) but the joy of taking dead trees & massaging the grain into something pretty is addictive...I make jewelry/keepsake boxes & wind chimes & spinners...Lilith has one of each of my wind thingies, also I sold one to SS some time back...trying to make it a paying hobby on eBay...anyway, here's a few that I only have pics to remind me of...

I dont have any pics, but the next time I make it I can take some.

Yay Cherrypie - I make soap too! Well, I actually haven't done any for quite a while, because as you say it's tedious, and I struggle to get the time and money for ingredients, but it's something I love. I've actually concentrated more on cosmetics like lip balms, hand creams, etc of late, but have promised myself I'm going to do more soap in the new year.
I also love to cook and make/ decorate cakes for special occasions.
However my biggest hobby is not something I make but something I do - this:-

I'm performing in Pantomime all this week.

Thanks for the kind words....I wish I could afford to make what I really like. I could be happy vacationing and shopping for stones and silver to make stuff my whole life.
