Craft(s) of Choice: Oh, I dabble in so many things! Knitting, thread crochet, sewing/quilting (So much faster than knitting! Knitting is like making your own fabric and then creating something out of it while sewing seems one step ahead of the game to me!), polymer clay, paper crafts/origami, miniatures, jewelry, spinning, embroidery,

Crafting to me is about learning different and varied skills. I was brought up crafting and it shaped my learning style. I learn by doing, creating and thinking about the process, not just the end product. It is also about being more self-reliant and prepared for the worst. If push came to shove and I was forced to rely on myself to create my own shelter, food, clothing, shoes, etc., I feel secure in my ability to take on the challenge with all the knowledge I have amassed from the variety of projects I have tackled and the heritage skills and work ethic my parents instilled in me!
But let’s just say that major civilization meltdown never comes.
I’ll be a very happy, active senior! My degree is in Leisure Studies and one thing I really took to heart was the fact that the more recreational options you explore early on in life, the more choices you will be open to when you’re older. I am dedicated to trying new things not just for fun and enrichment now but to broaden my recreational opportunities once I’m AARP-age.
