My favorite pastime since I was a lad, rca cables got tangled real bad. Sonic and Mario grew up with me, so what was the name of my favorite hobby?

I'm your brain's canvas in your dreams, Where your eyes wander but cannot see, Sometimes painted outside too, And given added frill with sticky glue

Old fabric friend with strings to tie, in the kitchen, I flutter by. Guarding clothes with grace and care, while cookies bake in the warm air.

I am full of holes, But I still hold water. A fruit may house me, only when in the sea.
