Cooking, Hand sewing
I have made Christmas stocking for my daughter in-law and my three granddaughters, my biggest undertaking so far has been making curtains for my granddaughters room. It was a fun project, the girls picked out the fabric and helped me figure out how they wanted them to hang and gave me directions. I do some sewing for my boyfriend as well, buttons, seams, a car cover out of flannel. Mostly small things but I enjoy them none the less.
Cooking is a life long source of pleasure there are so many options of what to make and how to combine the ingredients. I feel like a mad cook sometimes when I just use my nose to decide what to add next or what to leave out. I am not so into making sweets as I love them to much to make them. My biggest joy is when the table is quiet and all you can hear is silverware on plates, then I know I did good.
