11. What do you do in your spare time?
I have a toddler so I have very little free time, but when I'm not parenting, sewing, crafting, photographing new items, processing photos, or blogging I like to read, garden, and cook. I'm an obsessive tomato grower and make a killer homemade tomato sauce. I try to read a book a week.
