I come from a musical family. My DM played the guitar like a dream and sang.She could also draw very well! My DF plays the banjo, sings and talks nonstop! My youngest sister sings, plays the accordion and quilts. Another sister is multi talented and seems to be able to do whatever she sets her mind too. She draws and paints beautifully, taught herself to play the piano and has a wonderful singing voice.
I play the guitar, sing and write songs. I also paint, crochet, do upholstery,sew, quilt and can do almost any craft type thing I try.
We were raised with the can do attitude and a strong work ethic. Both have served me well. :-D
