Over the weekend, my mom and I created a scrapbook for my grandmother. In good news, we actually finished in 2 days and didn't kill eachother. And I learned 2 very important things:
1. My mom and I shouldn't do hobbies together.
2. I'm not cut out to be a scapbooker. Sure I love to preserve documents - just not on floral paper with stickers and such.
Anyway, here is an extremely abridged list of the various hobbies I have tried over the years!!
PicSpam Monday™: Rejected or Abandoned Hobbies
Scrapbooking
Wood carving
Sharp tools near hands = Short-lived hobby
Sewing/Quilting
I even own a sewing machine to this day.
Sure my mom bought it with the hope I would
learn to love sewing as much as she does,
but in the end I can make simple repairs and create thread bobbins.
Oh and I think I still have an
unfinished Amish quilt stashed away somewhere.
Fishing
Although I did find this activity quite fun and relaxing,
I have 3 words (and a preposition) for you:
Sharp Hook in Hand
Bead looming
I'm actually quite proud at how long I kept with this hobby.
All in all, I think it was 2 years. In the end, I just found dealing
with beads too frustrating. They roll way to easy!!
Origami
Apparently, I can't fold paper straight or follow complicated
directions even if they go step by step!!
Rollerblading
Unfortunately, I don't wear spandex or show skin well.
That seems to be an important element of this activity.
To make matters worse, I couldn't even stand in the
horrible contraptions without falling over. I have many talents,
balance just isn't one of them!!
Beeswax candle making
This one didn't take much talent, but I sure didn't have it.
I think I made a couple candles for my grandparents
one year for Christmas and that was it!!
