You'd usually find this Crafty Welsh Grandma in the kitchen, <b><a href="http://www.craftywelshgrandma.co.uk/" target="_blank">creating cakes and cupcakes</a></b>! I promised myself a 'retirement' after the recent <b><a href="http://www.craftywelshgrandma.co.uk/p/wedding-engagement-index.html" target="_blank">wedding cake</a></b> so, as I have no plans for bakes, unless there are any 'impromptu' ones needed, I can now concentrate on my other hobbies - until the festive season arrives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hobbies, such as:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Camping</li>
<li>Gardening</li>
<li>Painting</li>
<li>Needlecraft </li>
<li>and lots more</li>
</ul>
<div>
This blog entry is just to show you what you can do with a little imagination. "Rock hunting" is becoming a bit of a big thing with the young and the young at heart. I am a member of a number of rock groups on Facebook after rekindling my love for this craft after my Grandson found his first painted rock in the town's big park.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Facebook groups are a good community of people, hiders, painters, seekers, and finders. Why not check to see if there is one in your area?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I even 'commissioned' some rocks for my son's wedding, I couldn't do any as I was making at the wedding cake and had run out of time!</div>

These are easy to do and you don't have to be no Van Gogh to paint one either! All you need is:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>A little time</li>
<li>Paint brushes (if not using paint pens)</li>
<li>Acrylic paints or pens</li>
<li>Some Sharpies (permanent marker pens)</li>
<li>Some clear lacquer </li>
</ul>

Here are a few that my family have created over the last few months, my favourite ones, called 'Smile' and 'Flower ballerina' I didn't take pictures of, but I wished I had now!</div>

Using only double knit yarn and a loom, you can create this simple chunky beanie. You only need one ball of yarn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My full instructions on how to "chunkify" your yarn and create this hat is available on my Instructables. The project has also been entered into the Remix Contest if you'd like to vote (voting closes 30th January 2017)</div>
