I think I would craft every single day if I had the time. I live on a farm, so in spring and summer, there is a ton of stuff to do. Then autumn comes and it's time to get everything ready for winter. For me, winter is when I get a lot more done craft wise
I craft all year long, but find sunny days on the patio are great for organizing my stuff. I can drink ice tea or coffee and get stamps sampled and filed, labels made and folders and dies packaged. Also great space for getting ahead on lined envelopes. Just small boxes of projects at a time. Actual crafting is done in my dungeon.
When the weather is cold and rainy, and the wood stove is making the house toasty warm with a Dutch oven full of stew on the top of it simmering away - yea, that is craft heaven.
I work on my projects while the dog snores in her bed. The cats always seem to wear the paper confetti falling from the Spellbinder dies, and of course someone always gets a little dusting of glitter.
When I reach an impass and just can't make up my mind, we all snuggle down for a nap to think it over. I love winter. Until it's time to go get more wood.
Yes, I do more crafting in the winter. With the longer days in summer, I like to spend time outside - gardening, going to baseball games - when I have the chance. In the winter, it's dark early, if the weather is cold, I'd rather not leave the house again - just seems more suitable to spend time at home doing things like crafting (and reading).
I craft throughout the year. During the Fall and Winter I make quilts. Once it starts to warm up in the Spring I will work on cards and other projects.

The only craft I'm in to and have any skill for is card making. I do this year round. Thing is....I don't make tons of cards any time of the year! Maybe one a month if it's not holiday time. I make do make more cards around seasonal celebrations-Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, of course, Valentine's Day, etc.

When I lived in Upstate New York I really loved making cards and gifts with the snow falling outside my windows. Here in Las Vegas it's pretty much eternal sunshine, so other factors influence my crafting mood more than the weather does. Latest mojo kick? Hope You Can Cling To! I made 31 cards in as many days - a record for me, for sure!
It's easier for me to craft in the winter months when there is less to do outside. Although I live in So Calif where it's pretty much perfect all year round! It's more my mojo that has to get more motivated when it's hot!!!
I enjoy crafting year round but find it hard to stay inside during the warm weather months. In addition to stamping I do beadwork and I crochet.
When I'm not at the beach soaking in the rays I will sometimes take a small project out to the table on my deck and enjoy the fresh air while I work on something pretty...
I think I do craft more in the Fall and Winter months but I'm also a napper and find that on the chilliest days I much prefer to curl up with a book until I fall asleep
I make cards year round. Daylight affects me the most for crafting so I am more lieky to craft on Saturdays and Sundays during the day. I dislike like it being dark out when I get home from work now because I feel like I should go right to bed! I look forward to Saturday mornings for crafting.
I make cards year round. My craft room is in the basement, no window, so it doesn't matter what the weather is. I do several daily SCS challenges which builds up my stash of cards for when I need them. If the weather is nice, I do what I want outside and then come in and play

I craft everyday that I'm home as there are birthdays every month and holidays most months. When we go on vacation, I may take some organizing chore along, but it isn't always craft related. I come home ready and anxious to go. Crafting is what I do!
After reading these, I probably need to rethink my answer...... I think I craft more in my mind and on line at SCS than I do in reality!!!! I should get off the computer and sit at my table more often!!
Today it's going to be 44*c here which is stupidly hot but a great chance to craft
It's a bit early for this kind of weather but usually over the middle of summer we have afternoons inside so I tend to do a lot of crafting then.

Won't somebody think of the paint chips?
I actually craft all the time! On cold days I'm more likely to curl up in a blankie! But I love sunny days of every season because my craft room has lots of light!
I'm a passionate gardener (flowers and vegetables) so it's very hard to be inside crafting in spring and summer - unless it's raining. Also my craft room is upstairs in the little room under the eaves and it gets so hot up there in the summer - so only bearable very early in the morning.
So fall and winter are my big seasons for crafting. Or any rainy day.
