Learn to crochet (knit, sew, build a birdhouse, build a model, play chess). My leftie Grandma taught me (a rightie) to crochet when I was about 10. I learned how to play chess to teach my own 8 year old son. Challenge your kids to find material and make up characters – then let them put on a puppet show for you!

My son was delighted with the used sewing machine my mother bought for him. My sister-in-law routinely gives items that she crochets. For years, my son happily used the scarf I knitted for him. From photography to woodworking to painting to sewing, you can use your talents to create personal and unique gifts. Buy Vintage.

I am the mother of one daughter and grandmother of one grandson and we all (along with my son-in-law) live together in North Carolina with my 2 sweet dogs and my daughter’s 2 sort-of sweet cats. I will paint anything. I’ve crocheted my whole life, from shawls to Christmas ornaments.
