My other hobbies are:

1. Home remodelling and repair.
2. Landscaping
3. Old cars
4. Model trains
5. Anything else which allows me to buy really cool tools.

Just call me Terry the Tool Man. And as I told my neighbor a couple of weeks ago......A butter knife is not a tool.

So, Terry, I'm guessing you'd think that an aluminum meat tenderizer is not a hammer???? :lol:

hahaha when I first moved away to college and didn't have any tools, I used a high heeled shoe with a wide heel to use as a hammer for hanging pictures :lol:

A meat tenderizer is a hammer. But not one you should be using to try and frame a house with.

Hi,

I quilt, sew, read, sing, watch TV, lunch with my friends. Vounteer where possible. Lunch with my Red Hat club.

I crochet, love antiquing, I read about 7 books a month from the library, gardening, counted cross stitch, needlepoint, card making,and keeping up with the quilting.

Other than quilting...


-I love to dance, I take ballroom, and I'm doing a triple swing in a show in a month.

-I paint and draw, mostly watercolor portraits, I find it challenging because it has to be so precise to look like the person it's supposed to look like. Plus, with watercolor you have to be careful not to mess up because you can't just paint over it. No erasing, no covering, it's hard but I love it.

-I play the guitar. I have 7 guitars, although one is in need of a new bridge, and an other (electric) is in pieces after I took it apart to give it a lovely new paint job ( I used metallic blue, left over from a car I painted at work)


Let me see if I can pull up a few pics for you guys...
