How they will haul up and just write, write, write.

I remember even at three making things, drawing, and having interests in music and art.<br /><br />I even told my parents at age five that I wanted to go to Europe to look at the art. My parents thought I was POSSESSED. They didn't understand until much later. Mom was an accountant and Dad and electrician. <br /><br />I inherited my talent from my Mom's parents, but they both died by the time I was ten. My grandfather was the one with all the talent, but he died when my mom was only two.<br /><br />Funny what we inherit.<br /><br />Like you, I lOVE to back, but I draw, sew, knit, paint, craft everything, and enjoy all aspects of art. There is just not enough time the day....<br />Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-33212377663630154162013-07-16T11:16:01.281-04:002013-07-16T11:16:01.281-04:00i love the idea of the loom---i hope you find one-...i love the idea of the loom---i hope you find one----it sounds so soothing---you have many talents---i like to organize and dream pretty much---love to see some pics of your handiwork :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-57022829549921332762013-07-15T17:30:04.242-04:002013-07-15T17:30:04.242-04:00I don't care for baking, but I can make a mean...I don't care for baking, but I can make a mean pie.

But then, I got distracted by art, and photography, two things I do as well as writing.<br /><br />Hubs gave me my first SLR camera shortly after we met. Before that I borrowed the work camera from a colleague. I sew-clothes, curtains and crafts, and cook French style when I'm in the mood. (We usually have crepes I've premade in the freezer.)<br /><br />Good luck to your daughter with her great planning. That's the way I tried to plot my life, too. It's a proactive approach, rather than reactive.<br />D.G.

Usually, when writing gets a little stressful, I turn to my crafts - especially knitting - and work on that. It really calms me down and helps me get back into my writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-34248426980661611862013-07-15T09:52:33.582-04:002013-07-15T09:52:33.582-04:00Too many things interest me!
