I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
In Scotland you could buy kits of wonderful woolen fabric for a skirt and matching yarn to knit a sweater. In the Montreal years when I was young and free I made my wardrobe. It was a very fashionable city but I couldn't afford to buy so I sewed. Later, I made a few outfits for myself and my dd but life got too busy,
I remember making a quilt for my first grandchild. I had always been fascinated by trapunto embroidery, so I designed and made a pale blue satin quilt with trapunto embroidery.
Of course, there were lots of afghans crocheted over the years, sweaters for my boys...laterly baby outfits that I gave away to the thrift shop. Knitting and crocheting are very peaceful activities. You only have to think of the next stitch.
And Halloween outfits. I was so glad when dd took over that job,
Christmas decorations and the tinsel that the cat ate - always. Dd had one cat that ate Christmas tree light bulbs - didn't swallow them, just crunched them.
Golden I love crafts, just not as very great at it. So too years ago I taught myself how to knit, or tried to, through YouTube Got good at the main stich , made two scarfs , so yesterday I pulled them out, put the tassel on them. When it got to the other stitches, knit one purel 2 stuff I got tired, but I think I'll practice some more now. There is so much to learn, reading patterns and the terms, like gauge and all that.
