Things I want to do, hobby-wise:

• Garden. It's the wrong season to be putting plants out, since it does get cold in Seattle, but I'd like to get some indoor herbs in pots. I've bought basil and rosemary a few times, and I know I can grow those plants myself with little trouble -- and fresh herbs are expensive. (I'd also like to find some wintering-over plants to put in the porch box, since the porch looks a bit barren).
  
• Beads. I joined a Beads of the Month club, but I'd like to hit a hobby store and get some basic seed beads, wire, needlenose pliers, and findings. I used to do a lot of beading, but not so much anymore.
  
• Weaving or knitting. I was going to sign up for a class at this fiber store near the Ave, but I just missed the deadlines. Next round!

Heehee, I do the first two, (that reminds me, time to bring the more expensive herbs in so they don't croak) although actually I haven't beaded in ages. Probably the last time was back in 2001 when I made myself a pair of huge Elizabethan style teardrop pearl earrings, one of which has vanished. :(

Ebay seems to be an awesome source of semi-precious beads and chips at reasonable prices. I bought myself some loose freshwater pearls that I still haven't done anything with. I wonder where they've gotten to... *scratches head*
