I have recently started decorating cakes. My kids and dh don't like cake that much, so I don't get much practice.

Learning how to use fondant

One of my first ones I did after I started taking classes

Taken with my cell phone, so it won't rotate

Everything is edible except the broom handle (each of these snowman represent my family)

This was done prior to me taking some classes... yikes!

Okay, I am a good eater but that's not all :D
I love cross-stitch, knitting, working with paper, baking - pie is my specialty but I love working with any kind of dough. I like to sew anything but curtains- yuck!! I'm a decent cook but don't really like to. My husband is a fantastic cook- yippee!! Love perennial and herb gardening.
But quilting is by far my favorite way to express myself.
Love all the wonderful pics of all your talents!!!

Tried knitting when I was twelve. Never tried it again. I was HORRIBLE at it, so I really admire knitters!

I love to knit and crochet. I taught my sis and she loves it. Everyone in her family has afghans. I enjoy counted cross stitch and did ceramics for a while. Sewing clothing. I sewed so many of my kids clothes. And of course quilting. Between my sis and I none of our kids will be cold. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I did cross stitch for 17 years. Gave some away, and kept some.
I also like photography.

There are other things but they do not require talent. Collect blue glassware, and also movies.
