Hobbies and Other Interests

I love crafting!

My favorite craft is crochet, but I also do a lot of knitting and make my own jewelry. One of my favorite things to crochet is historical gowns for Barbie dolls. You can see some examples of my work at my crochet website. I have some patterns for sale in my Ravelry Pattern store.

Occasionally I offer up finished projects for sale in my Crafts By Cathy Etsy store.

In my spare time (what’s that?), I also like games. Board games, card games, and of course video games. I grew up in the era of Atari so I’ve seen it all from Pong to PvZ Garden Warefare. My fav? The Sims. I have loved The Sims since the very beginning and they’re up to the fourth generation installment in the franchise now.

Maybe it’s the innate storyteller in me, but I love putting characters and situations together and watching what happens. Sometimes I blog about what my Sims are up to on CC’s Sims Stories.
