let's see:
my grandmother was a garment maker and fantastic cook. my grandfather was a custom gentlemen's tailor. my other gm was a garment maker and also did wonderful cross stitch, crochet, embroidery, and bead work in the 20's. my father was a talented pen and ink, pencil and paper and colourwash artist and my mother a magnificent knitter and cross stitcher. she also played the piano. my son designs robotics and lighting and my daughter is a sculptress and woodworker as well as a talented artist and quilter. she also plays the banjo, dulcimer, guitar, harmonica and borohn (did i spell that right?) she also has a good singing voice. my dh is an architect, pen and ink artist as well as a model maker and woodworker. i am a garment maker, sewing teacher, quilter, oil painter, cross stitcher, embroiderer and all-round pain-in-the-a**.
i think that anyone given encouragement and the right tools will show interest and some degree of talent in something.
i left out that my other gf was a furrier. he made me pony-skin coats with matching muffs and hats during WW2. one was brown and white and the other was black and white. my other father.

We are still waiting to see what talent little man will have other than destroying the livingroom. LOL!!
So what talents are in your family? I would like to hear about them.

I love reading all of these and it's amazing what talent resides under our own roofs. We are a resourceful people. I am a jack of all trades and can do lots of things if I set my mind to it. My DH is a math whiz and has a great mind. My oldest grandson is an innovator at age 7 and we can't wait to see what he'll invent someday. My middle sister writes poetry, youngest sister can dance like nobody's business and my mother at 78 still has a lovely singing voice. Thanks for letting me brag.
