Craft Blog|all things crafty & creative

So, we’ve all got other hobbies and enjoy other fun stuff other than stitching, right? I hope so anyhow. I like to play cards, read books, sew, play games online and do all sorts of other things when I get the opportunity to do so. One thing I never learned to was to play backgammon. I know that probably sounds silly, but you’d be surprised how many other people know how to play, and then there’s me all by myself not knowing what the heck they are doing.

I did try to learn by throwing myself into one of those free online backgammon things, you know the kind of places you can go to play dominoes and canasta online with other real people too. I ended up getting booted from the tables because no one wanted to help me learn to play, so I gave up.

But, now there is Jean-Claude the tiger and his cute little video to teach people like me how to play backgammon! And eventually he’ll be able to teach me to play other cool games too. I can’t wait to see what else he can teach. It’s a fun way to learn, and he won’t kick me off the table!

What other hobbies do you enjoy?
