I would love to get involved with something like this but I don't have much time, unfortunately. As I was saying to some of the other ladies on the forum, I'd like to one day learn to knit and crochet as well. I'd love to start making teddy bears like this from old clothing:
The teddy’s are sweet. I made a small one for my daughter years ago, but I put the body the wrong way round. Teddy had the tiniest tummy you’ve ever seen
. A friend of mine made cushions, in patchwork, from her late father’s shirts for her family. They looked amazing. She used the pocket as somewhere to store your phone or whatever. If you think I’m talented, a lot of the things that are made by people I know are absolutely beautiful. I’m happy fiddling around with my little things.
Don’t leave things too late my dear. You can make 1/2 an hour a day to learn different things to do. I taught myself to crochet many many years ago, from a book.

Some of hearts I’ve done for my grandchildren.
You’re absolutely right! It’s just so important to stay consistent.Don’t leave things too late my dear. You can make 1/2 an hour a day to learn different things to do. I taught myself to crochet many many years ago, from a book. There was no utube then
Can someone show you? That would be so lovely for you. If he had ties you can sew them in a circle for a table cloth.
I might ask my aunt to help me. She's gotten into sewing recently. Lord knows I'll never find the time and I'd probably be really nervous about potentially messing it up.
I go on the pintrest app a lot. I’ll send you the link if I can. I showed the app to my daughter in law many years ago, when her baby’s had night feeds. She loved it to look through while her baby’s had their feeds. She still uses it for her cake decorating ideas but tweaks them so they aren’t an exact copy. They have the most amazing things to see and make. You can save them to your own boards and they will send you pictures of what you may like by what you have pinned. Recipes of all sorts, dogs
of all breeds and sizes. The list is endless. What do you do for a living? Tell me about yourself, please.
If you go to Pintrest and type in mens ties it will bring up lots of ideas. Ive been trying to send you a copy but I can’t do it. Have a good day.I go on the pintrest app a lot.

Aww thank you for trying anyway! I've tried to use Pinterest in the past but I've just never gotten the hang of it. I'll have a look now that you've mentioned it though
I hope that next year, when I have a bit more free time, I'll become a more interesting person 
Right now I have no time for hobbies!
You are a writer? Oh my. That is very challenging and exciting. I’m so excited for you. We all think we can write a book, but that’s a mythAww thank you for trying anyway!

Currently I work full time in the insurance industry, but I'm finishing up in a month's time to pursue my career as a writer. I live with my mum and sister and my doggo
. I love reading, but in the pandemic, I really struggled. I couldn’t do it. At birthdays, and Christmas, buy Mum a book, she will love you forever,lol. Have you ever been published? My Mum was the same. Her and Dad were doing some painting on the farmhouse. Dad came round the corner of the house and here’s Mum with the paintbrush in one hand, book in the other,lol. What do you like to write about? My eldest son gave me a book on how to write your life story, but I have a lot of sad and bad things happen in my life I wouldn’t have a lot to write. The book says you don’t have to. Enjoy your weekend.
Reading back through this post, the lady in Tasmania did thousands of hearts and sent them to people in the Lousiannna cyclone, to let them know they are being thought of. I’m sending mine to the lady who runs the free charity shop.
Haha your mum sounds like my kinda lady. Although nowadays it's a lot easier just to do things with the TV on.You are a writer? Oh my. That is very challenging and exciting. I’m so excited for you. We all think we can write a book, but that’s a myth
I worked as a house maid in a big, old rambling house in the country. Didn’t last long, too remote and lonely. Then I worked in a clothing factory. After getting married and having children I worked in our local council, with senior citizens. Then I got a job as a relief receptionist at our local optometrist, that lasted 15 years. At the same time I worked in a gift shop part time. Finishing all that, I got my certificate 3 in aged care and worked there for about 5 years, til it got too much for my back. So I then did volunteer work at the local senior day care centre. So I guess I've had a variety of jobs.
Wow! It seems like you really have a passion for working with seniors. It really takes a lot of patience don't you think?
