I work with senior missionaries and asked them about the skills/talents that they've developed that have been used for good. These are some of their responses...
- Crochet
- Knit
- Sew (wedding/prom dresses)
- Gardening
Two weekends ago I attempted watercolors. It definitely was relaxing, but not rewarding. I give it like a 5 out of 10.
Baking, specifically bread, has been the Sunday obsession. So far I've enjoyed the process and the outcome. Probably like an 8.5 out of 10... pretty darn delicious. I always give some to my neighbor after the experiment is over.
And, finally, what I've been wanting to do has finally become a reality. Went out on Saturday and bought a crochet needle and some yellow yarn. The first baby blanket will be for an Oregon fan, who's having a little girl. So far, so good... getting faster at the whole thing, although I'm sure there will be approximately 5 million stitches in this thing by the time I'm done. Haha, should've bought a bigger hook. But, it's been really enjoyable so far... up there with the bread making, I think. 8.5 or 9.
