I often entertain the idea of making some form of cookbooks - the main obstacle being that I don't usually take the time to meaasure and write down what I've done so things turn out a little different each time - all more reason to document. I made some birch bark baskets a long time ago. What I'd really like to learn is how to weave grass baskets that are a little tighter and sturdier, the birch bark baskets that I made always seemed kinda fragile.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124854790635683665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-20743051294244067352010-11-12T18:28:14.191-09:002010-11-12T18:28:14.191-09:00I think it would be a really cool project to photo...I think it would be a really cool project to photograph all the yummy things you cook everyday. Then, when you have time, you could add recipes to the photos, or more photos of the kids helping out or smeared in chocolate icing :) If you took it all down to Kinkos they could print and bind it for you and then you'd a an annual journal of food... at least something to show for all your hard work besides more dirty dishes!<br /><br />I desperately want to start back basket weaving. I loved it when I was a kid, and we have such wonderful willows and birch bark to work with here. I've seen so many different styles of baskets and I want to try a few of them. I'd also like to try my hand at marquetry -- making patterns on objects with thin pieces of wood veneer -- my fine carpentry skills aren't great, but marquetry is more like paint by numbers so I think I can manage it LOL!Plickety Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252583762292412093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-41674689689533789492010-11-12T09:32:02.133-09:002010-11-12T09:32:02.133-09:00Thanks ladies, you are an inspiration as well.

I realize part of my challenge is finding things to do that don't take all of my attention - that is the challenge with learning new skills and small children. By the time the kids are in bed I'm whooped.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124854790635683665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-70704487116741717942010-11-12T08:49:02.490-09:002010-11-12T08:49:02.490-09:00Hello enjoying your blog.I am going to be quilting...Hello enjoying your blog.I am going to be quilting. I have patterns in my head I am going to try and make.The challenge is to get them on the material. I use a 1970 Bernina sewing machine I found at a thrift store. I love the way it sews. I love to quilt in the winter. I sit on my kitchen floor in the window with the sun shining looking out at the snow and just randomly place pieces I have cut out.Then I sew and sew. I cannot knit or anything else this is my creative outlet.Good luck with the hats.Buttons Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029439906543077861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806644789710396926.post-46279549363684261562010-11-12T05:40:52.112-09:002010-11-12T05:40:52.112-09:00I am there with you trying my hand a knitting agai...I am there with you trying my hand a knitting again.
