Thanks
That's a shamePiano- always loved the piano - took lessons some years ago- couldn't store the notes in my memory bank-
too full of other stuff- think it was called raising children.
But it's never too late to learn! Might be a fun hobby for you to try during retirementI have given up on learning Piano- I am a bag maker -I make all sorts of bags -wallets- shoulder bags
Usually sell at the local caravan park here at Bargara- and I have a FB page -
But don't seem to sell much from there.

Wow those look really well-made! Do you buy the materials or repurpose them from something else?
I buy the faux leather and fabrics new- search the internet for different - as I like to make different from the normal that you would see in the average bag shop. Also the hardware/zips are different to just the normal gold & silver. I have enjoyed sewing for 40 plus years now -from my and children's/grandchildren's clothing to quilts now bags- my bags are different to what you would see in any shops. I am very passionate about what I do.
Lady D is also a seamstress for well over 60 years now. Mum’s latest adventures are making reusable, 3 layer face masks! Also many other handcrafts like Tatting, Embroidery, Candle wicking etc. her work is beautiful. Good luck LorrDonn with your bags they look fantastic! (Lady M)
I have seen all of these crafts- I was a show steward for many years in the country town where we retired from- I was always in absolute awe of the work that some of the ladies bought in.
You ladies are so talented! Please do share tips and tricks if you don't mind as I know that many of our members enjoy similar hobbies. You can post about it in the offtopic thread: https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/forums/offtopic-everything-else.9/
LorrDonn, LadyM (me) was a music teacher. Teaching organ, piano, keyboard and would you believe guitar. I had many older retired students, who like you couldn’t retain notes etc but, you don’t have to be able to read music to play it well enough to enjoy it. It is only for your enjoyment mate, throw away the music and just play! Good luckPiano- always loved the piano - took lessons some years ago- couldn't store the notes in my memory bank-
