That you hadn't learned all the things you do like sewing , quilting . knitting, crocheting , tatting, jewerly making .etc ?
I do all of them and hand embroidery
some times, they can get one into a lot of trouble with their other half . lol
I do love them all
but having so many things one loves.
it gets out of hand and expensive. lol
I brought a lap top hoop from
barnett's laptop hoops.com a while back ; it is 16-1/2 round it can fit on this lazy susan I brought with it and it tilts and spins.
well,
last week I ordered a floor stand to go with it ; you put the lap hoop on the top and it also tilts and spins.
I haven't gotten it yet.
Harry a sures me that I will love it .
I told him I may have to come and help him make frames as it might get me into trouble
luckily it was my birthday money
Harry told me not to get into trouble . lol
I am working on a appliqued butterfly quilt. I can't wait till my floor stand comes.
I love to hand quilt. hugs sheila

I am so glad I am learning to do all these things.. finally something i can do for ME! My husband however wishes I hadnt..especially when we are near the fabric section at Walmart! It is almost liek an addicition.. I see this and that and think "Oh i could so do something with that! I have to have it." My small craft/sewing/tanning bed storing/canning jar overflow room is beginning to close in around me but I am totally happy when I'm sitting in the middle of it all! ((hugs))

Back B.C. (before children) I was a professional librarian and books are still an important part of my life. DH tries to get me to love his Kindle and I can't get into it. My favorite coffee mug is from Monticello, I believe, with the Thomas Jefferson quote, "I cannot live without books."

Shiela, I dream of learning how to quilt!!!!! I wish I could, but I have ten thumbs. Sure wish you lived close by, I bet you could teach me. Different people keep telling me it is easy. Not for me. I have tried recently, I won't even show anyone what that quilt square came out looking like. Just too embarrassing. Any who... I do wish I could quilt.

I know my fits and starts and creative urges cause my husband to step back sometimes. Especially when it starts looking expensive. But I also know he is tremendously proud of all I can do. He brags on my cooking all the time. Very affirming!
