Bonnie Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 April...loved the stained glass.....first one I really liked....now I use to do this...nothing to this extent, but now wondering where my sodder and soddering iron are. I Also use to teach ceramics, but haven't fired up the kiln that's in the basement for years, 18 years it was in storage in Nevada no place to hook it up....now hmmmm,,,also the potters wheel is in the yard, moved it from Montana to Nevada and now here as well. So I guess I need to get those things dusted off and out again as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saundra Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Bonnie, your bracelet is beautiful, lucky girlfriend. April your stained glass is also beautiful. When I am not quilting I am making quilts, wallhangings, bags and etc. I also love to read, but time is not there now to do that, so I listen to audio books when I sew (& when I quilt). We follow NASCAR & Hockey, play with my grandchildren & camp. Get on this forum about 3 times a day, enjoy you ladies and learn so much.

peglu Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 When I'm not quilting, primarily I work. Three twelve hour shifts a week. (That leaves me 4 days a week to quilt!) In the summer, we boat a lot. When the weather permits, which isn't often lately. I try to spend as much time as I can with the grandbabies, but that also isn't a lot since none are closer than 50 miles . And that is my life, pathetic as it may be.

merelling Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm making necklace, and this remained me of all the yarn and beads I bought at the exhibition in Birmingham UK... Maybe I should do something with that today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore1223 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Bonnie your bracelets are beautiful. April, your stain glass is beautiful too. I always wanted to learn stain glass. In my spare time when I'm not trying to learn to quilt. I piece blocks, knit and spin yarn. I'm also trying to learn to digitize embroidery designs. I read a little, garden and bird watch (especially for hummingbirds). Don't get to see my grandkids much because they are a couple of hours away.

countrystitcher Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I love to read - right now into the Yadda Yadda series - if you haven't read them, they are a real hoot. I like to take my tea and a good book and sit on the front porch and read, watch the hummers and play fetch with my buddy, Gabe, the wonder German Shorthair. Life is great in the country. I also like to flower garden. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey Sharon, German Shorthair huh! My BIL lives in Marshalltown and raises German Shorhair's. His are highly sought after dogs. They have a great pedigree and he trains them for bird hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renae Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I crochet Tableclothes and doilies and read....boring but these are things I can do when we go in the car also. I can also take my English Paper piecing. Renae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Bonnie: I picked up knitting again a few years ago, and found this lovely pale pink (my fav color) yarn. I got half way through the back of the sweater doing a seed stitch, k2, p2, and then I had to leave it for a short time.... should have made notes as to where I stopped! I can't figure out for the life of me how to get the rows to match up again!!!! LOL I think I'll take it to the local knit shop and have them show me where to start again! I paint, read, babysit for nieces and nephews, goofy stuff. Hmmm.... guess I've gotten kinda boring in my old age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoriasews Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm a hiker. I used to be a potter but the RA has stopped that. Swinging in the hammock in the woods is great, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcclannan Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I love to read and spend time with my grandchildren. I was shopping with my 10 year old gd this weekend and we were looking at shoes. She showed me some and I said, "I think I'm a little old to be wearing those shoes." She quickly replied, "You're not old, Grandma, it's just that a lot of people are younger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Well, I am a golfer. I also knit some (used to a lot), love to piece (that's why I needed to get a LA - couldn't afford to send my quilts out anymore), read, visit with friends and just waste time. Never seem to have enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
