Do ever go through phases of doing things?
My Christmas decorations are a pictorial record of many of my “craft” phases.
There was the “needlepoint phase”
The cross-stitch phase
The applique phase
The painting phase
Not to mention, the dried flower arranging phase, the knitting phase, the crocheting phase, and probably a few more I’ve long forgotten.
My writing has gone through phases, too. The write-the-story-with-no-understanding-of-story-craft phase, the learning-to-craft-a-publishable-story phase, the edit-like-crazy phase, and on and on.
I’m thrilled to finally be in the writing-for-publication phase. And I plan to persevere so… hopefully, this phase proves to not be a phase at all!
Your Turn: What are some of the phases in your life or hobbies that you have fond memories of, or… are happy to be done?

I admire your talents, Sandra! Reminds me of my Mom, who went from one hobby to another (in her 92 yrs.) I wondered if ’cause in her hair salon (operated ’til 87yo) she wanted to do things her customers did?! lol She did macrame, crochet/knit, ceramics, cake decorating, sewing, jewelry shows, make up shows, etc.! I miss her! My hobby is mostly computer stuff/reading!!!
Wow, you are multi-talented. And I’m certain that your published writing phase is here to stay!!!
Let’s see, I’ve always been in a writing phase of something or other. And gardening…though I went through a phase of gardening my own vegetables and canning them. I always had enough for the whole winter. That was fun.
I did go through a crafty glue-gun phase. LOL. No one was safe when I was armed — including my dogs! And did cross-stitch too and needlepoint. And crazy furniture painting. I’d still be in that phase if I had the time for it!
The phase I’m still hoping to enjoy is knitting. I’ve never been able to learn how and believe me, many have tried to teach me!!!!
Wow, Jackie, your mom sounds like she was quite the go getter! Working until 87!! I’m glad computer stuff/reading is one your hobby 🙂 I love reading your comments.
Oh, Kav, yes!!! The glue gun phase. What fun 🙂 Good luck with the knitting. It’s a great hobby for those long bus rides. And of course, I love your humorous writing. 🙂
You are so talented and very crafty.
I admire your many talents.
I’m in a writing phase.
Yay Loree, the writing phase is a good one to stick with 🙂
Right now I am in the sleepless nights stage of life. Just when one baby starts sleeping through the night, the next one came along. I am pretty sure I will never get a good nights rest again. 🙂
Oh, Amy, I don’t envy you that phase. Thankfully, it will pass…eventually. 🙁
