creation

So, as I look at all the extremely creative and talented work found in my favorite blogs, the question is what do I want to try. My biggest problem is that I have yet to find a focus - for now, I want to try almost everything - sewing clothes is probably not going to be something I do - my mother despaired of ever getting me to sew correctly - after ripping it apart for the third time, I usually gave up. Knitting maybe, but I have real trouble with patterns - guess I need to be taught.
But I do have fun making jewelry, crocheting without a pattern, and other miscellany. I will try to add a photo or two here of some of the things I've tried.
Cooking is another process that I really enjoy. I have the beginnings of a cookbook put together - recipes from my mother and grandmothers - hardly part of the "new" cuisine, but the food I grew up with. Actually, the cooks in my family were very good - but the heights for dinner parties are not what I remember - so the book, when I finish will be mostly comfort food. I had hoped at one time to finish it before my mother died, but that did not happen. So it will be done when it is done. I think she'll appreciate it anyway.
