    Gee this I gotta see LOL ... do you have a photo to share of this 'tombstone'?

    I don't have nearly as many hobbies. Most notably is the fabric addiction / quilting and creating fabric postcards. I used to sketch and draw but haven't in years.

    I love to read & have sewed for yrs. later added quilting, then most recent, machine embroidery and scrapbooking. I tend to jump around from one to another. My DH jokes about all my hobbies by he is my biggest fan!

    I was talking to a woman the other day who has NO,NONE, ZILCH, NOTHING as a hobby. She cleans house and she reads.

    I though as I was talking to her how horrible my life would be if I had no hobbies. I can't even image. But then maybe I'd be better off is I had only half the hobbies I do have.


    Nah, wouldn't be fun!

My dear significant other died on July 18 and my heart is not in this anymore.

    If you know of a weaver looking for a business, I've had it for 15 years, but am now 65, have them contact me.

    My sympathy in the loss of you loved one!

    It might tickle, but could you use the loom for a foot stool when sitting on the couch?

    (multi-tasking the furniture!)
