So What Happened?

Croceting is so hard! My fav auntie has made us clothes and both of my kids have their first blankets. I applaude you! I gotta see the water spitting! Im a soprano as well and eating is my favorite subject! See we can not completely know each other per se, but have so much in common! I love it! O and im a complete idiot at gardening. I could even kill a desert plant!

Grandma t- piano is on my bucket list. I will learn to play before my time is up!
** im so envious of the artists! I can't even read my own handwriting!

I always felt bad because I am not really "talented" at any one thing. Then I thought about what I can do pretty well, if not fantastically.
I can build stuff, I just built a shed on my own, I built a loft bed for my son, a chicken coop, a wooden farm, a table. I can build just about anything out of wood. It may not look professional, but it works.

Well, when I was in Highschool I could play the baritone sax, E (flat) contra bass clarinet, and flute. I played in orchestras and jazz groups. It was great fun.
As an adult....I speak spanish fluently as a second language. I salsa dance too! It's fun when people see/hear me since I am as white as the driven snow but have a great spanish accent and can move my hips!

I sew. I've made all the curtains and quilts in our house. I also make dresses, skirts, tops, and pants. When I was younger I used to sell them at concerts during the summer to finance my travels. It's something that makes me happy and I feel proud of myself when I've completed something. I'm self taught and I've also taught several friends. I can just "see" what I want to make in my mind and translate it to fabric.

I wish I could sing. I can play the piano a little bit, picked it up some when my boys took lessons. But mostly I've been told I'm a good listener and encourager, so I guess that's my actual talent. I still wish I could sing tho.

I sew nearly perfect. I play clarinet, flute, and took a few piano lessons but stink at that. I scrapbook when I have time and actual pictures. So much is on my phone and FB now and I don't get actual pictures. My printer just isn't as good as some. I work in the community theatre sometimes making costumes too. I also sang with the community choir and I sing in a ladies group.

Fun question! I am told I am a good cook -even though I despise cooking- lol. I am also a musician- singer, songwriter, and pianist. However, my claim to fame is my green thumb. I always buy the almost dead plants for really cheap and can nurse them back to thriving, healthy plants in no time. Gardening is a hereditary natural talent for me- all the women in my family have this trait and have had this talent for many generations.

I was always musical, play the piano, and I sang for weddings, etc. for many years. But now I'd like to learn to paint. My grandmother, dad, brother, and my daughter were/are all artists. I would like to watercolor. I've dabbled a little, but it's going to take lessons before I can do anything serious.

I love to sing, decent, but nothing special. I was in theatre and I had good tone, but have small belting range so needless to say I never got to shine. I do miss the theatre soooo much!
I can sew and cook/bake. Typical "mom" things. I'm good at my day job. Other than that, meh.

I can sing. (soprano) I sang for many years at my church, and every year at our school talent shows. It was all just for fun, but I would do it when ever I had an opportunity. I also can swim well. Was a competitive swimmer for 15 years, and often would sing the National Anthem right before the event started.
