    Painting and all types of sewing and needle work. I love making jewelry and other crafts. I love gardening but this year I may not plant much as we may go into stage three water restrictions soon.

    What you all have money left over for something else! I can only read if I go to the library, unless of course it is a quilting book

    Driving my ponies (in a cart), biking and yard/garden work....hence my name...Wintersewer...I only sew in the winter. The rest of the year I am outside, hopefully wearing off calories and getting fit.

    Recently I have gotten into cooking since I just bought a new healthy, low-fat cookbook and I love it! I also like reading Dean Koontz and Nicholas Sparks books, decorating my house and container gardening in the summer

    I'm a private pilot, although currently grounded for medical reasons. I belong to a women pilots organization and we do stuff with youth groups, girl scout day, career days, ect. I'm also a hobby silversmith, so I make silver & copper jewelry, along with collecting and polishing rocks to set in my own jewelry. All of my hobbies are on hold anyway because Hubby and I are having a new house built and we are busy with that and will have 1 1/2 acre to landscape after we move in this summer. Oh, and I'm still working full time for 5 more years!

    I love to read and study the Bible and paint in oils. I have gotten so caught up in quilting that I have neglected my art work and that is something I am working on. I love to entertain and cook 4 course meals for family and friends.

    I sew for my family now and then and really want to do that more often. I am also writing my life story at the request of my olest daughter and illustrating it as I go.

    Reading and cooking. I love trying new recipes. Tonight I'm trying chicken thighs wrapped in cabbage leaves served with Chinese mustard. I used to build dollhouses until I discovered quilting.
