I’m a handy girl at heart. I love renovation and antiquing shows and love the people who bring back something they find hidden in basement or grungy attic. I don’t have that special eye to look at something blah and know it’s potential. I live for renovation, repurposing and antiquing shows; it gives me hope that someday I might have a little spark of inspiration and run with it.
Some things I would love to try:
- Sewing-more than just a simple pair of fleece baby jammie pants
- Stained Glass-I have one piece that my mother bought for me and I want more
- Bread baking-pizza dough I can do but I’m scared of bread
- Wood Refinishing-I see old cabinets and tables at thrift stores and wonder if stripping and staining would give it new life
- Rose Gardening-Everything I’ve read has me so intimidated to even attempt 1 rose bush
- Pottery-Graceful I am NOT. I can already see a crooked bowl or uneven coffee mug
Ever visit 30 Days of Lists? This is where I got the idea to write this post. Lots of great writing inspiration over there.
Don’t be scared of baking bread!!! It’s not that hard, and the results are SO worth it!
guess what….I’m gonna try bread this week. maybe today if I can clean out the oven.
I would love to try pottery. I do sculpting with polymer clay already, but that is very different than using a pottery wheel.
the pottery wheel is probably the draw for me. I don’t have artistic talent to paint or freehand sculpt but forming clay into a symmetrical shape might be ok for me.
