    Smile Name some things that you want to learn

    I have a loooong list of things I want to learn. I've been trying to slowly take some time to actually do some of these things.

    Some of these things are:

    Hand and machine sewing.
    Crocheting
    Quilting
    Handspinning, weaving
    Tatting, embroidery
    Cake decorating, pastry making
    Making candles and soaps

    How about you?

    I would like to:
    Learn to use a sewing machine, I have one but I don't know how to use it.
    Learn to say NO once in a while. I find that sometimes I am way too nice when the situation requires me to be otherwise.
    Learn to um... uh.... cook. I know how to cook a few things, but SO is the chef of the house.
    Learn to be more domestic and crafty. I think that is why I am here. I am inspired to be more creative and make things rather than buy everything, because of you all.

    I want to learn to:
    crochet
    speak French
    I did teach myself to paint a couple of years ago,and I find great joy in that.

    When I was a little girl my Nana tried to teach me to crochet and knit,but I just didn't have the patience for it~looking back it is one of those things I regret.She died 15 years ago when she was 95 and I miss her so!!
    Anyway,I want to learn to speak French,my 14 year old is in her 3rd year of French class so I think I'd better take advantage of this!!

    I'd like to learn:
    another language
    how to make candles from scratch (not the melt and pour type)
    weaving
    wood working
    how to fix my computer

    Ladies, I do most of the things you all would like to learn. I was a bit of an oddity growing up. I crochet, knit (hand & machine), sew (mainly home decor & clothes), cross stitch and I have tried just about every craft out there at least once. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to help if I can.

    There are so many things I would love to learn that sometimes I doubt I will be able to try them all. I love homebirth, my son was born at home so I would like to study midwifery.I also would like to learn to sew with a machine, I can't even sew on a button. I can't seem to master muffin making, So I need to practice that. LOL. I would love to garden but we don't have any land so I could try pot gardening. I would love to can jellies and jams. I would also love to quilt but I don't know the first thing about it.
