I knit, crochet and cross stitch. Love listening to music and do a little amateur singing. I also write a little. When I was younger, I did oil painting.

I love dancing. I have been dancing since the age of 3. At 34, the knees and ankles aren't the same. But... I still love it! :-)

When I was in 7th grade, my PE teacher taught those of us who were interested to knit. Crochet and cross stitch I learned from those little craft leaftlets. You can do that too. It doesn't take any skill, just interest. :)

That's one of the fun things about having a little girl (or so I imagine), being able to dress her up.
Lady Danielle aka The Book Huntress wrote: "I have done cross stitch, but when my grand tried to teach me crochet, that didn't go so well. I think it has to do with the fact that I am a leftie."Could be, but I think they have books now for that because so many people who are lefties has expressed an interest.

Thanks ;-)
Lady Danielle aka The Book Huntress wrote: "That's really cool! Do you like watching any of the dance competition shows?"Yes, I love So You Think You Can Dance and Dance Moms. I can tell you for a fact that those shows are Authentic.
I'm always so tempted to order it when I see that P90X commericial, but I just don't think it's a reality for me right now. I did get up to a purple belt in karate when I was in my 30's but the years have passed. I am really into and excited about the Zumba Fitness I just joined. It's an officially certified facility that's got flashing disco lights and loud speakers to blast afro-carib beats. Forty-five minutes of a sweat-drenched workout. Great for toning if anyone is interested. I tried Turbo Jam, too-- and really liked it. It's just hard to put in that DVD and do it on my own.I also collect vintage costume jewelry!! Have about 4000 pieces I've snatched up from tag sales and such. Much of it is worth way more than folks realize. I also have many books on the topic. Nice to see what so many of you are into!
Mod
Very cool! What kind of dresses do you design? do you have pictures to share?

That's cool!

I will post any new dresses i make and would love to hear everyone's thoughts. I love retro dresses and outfits. Anything vintage and retro i absolutely would die for!
Mod
I sing (good enough for people not to mind but short of thinking it can pay bills).
Mod
Pagan, I love singing, not that I am good at it. I'm glad you are good enough to share your talents!

Lady Danielle aka The Book Huntress wrote: "Nah, I don't sew. I tried to teach myself to knit. No dice. I'll try again."I have always wanted to sew. I tried sewing when I was 16 for my home economics class project and failed so badly that I never tried to sew again. I can crochet a little (making blankets), but I can't knit, because I have trouble holding the needles.
Mod
I had to take home economics, and I did very simple projects, like sewing a pillow.
I love to cook, crochet, knit, write poems, sewing and dance :)
Mod
Woow ...!!!! Wish you were my neighbour...after sewing, stitching, knitting we could have gone to a cafe to goss!
Lady Danielle,My grandmother is the one who taught me how to crochet. She also knew how to sew very well, but I just can't seem to get that talent, so I leave it to those that can.
My aunt is going to teach me how to quilt this year. That should be fun because I have a number of quilts that my grandmother made me over the years, and I cherish them dearly. Maybe I could do the same for my grandchildren, when I get some (not to soon though, I'm still too young, LOL!).
Mod
I'm a complete music geek. Have to see almost every show or act that comes town (Thank God, for Groupon making this habit much cheaper). I was so upset that Santa didn't get me tickets for the Musical Theater season.
