The hubs doesn't sew even tho' he does know how but only with leather for shoes. He used to be a bootmaker in his younger years. He helps me pick out colors, or gives me an opinion on patterns, what works or won't. These later years, he has taken up cooking and has a large collection of cookbooks. Yep, we're round like Hobbits, so he is a very good cook. I clean up after him, that is the deal if he cooks.
