Janice's group Showing Love is Janice! So her request to state what we like to do is to get everyone to know each other better and to promote caring and love so here goes Janice,for you Sweety!!!
Marg likes to...hummm gotta think about this... what comes first to mind is family. As most women it is hard to see me sometimes. I see others first. I see need and what I do for others.
Start again...Marg likes to.... poke about!!! First choice would be in the great outdoors!!! Second in thrift shops. Now is that something I do??? Guess so! I have done tons of sewing in my life. From working at it to doing it for the family. My best creation was a gown for my daughter at a university dress ball. It had a full floor length skirt done in a greenish gorgette that showed two different hues of the green depending how the light hit it. I made a toole underskirt to keep the skirt full at the bottom. The top was a boned top with a crisscross tie back done in the same tone of fabric but blue,the two colours matched and played off of each other very well. I found silk cording that matched perfectly and it had a Elizabethan feel to it. Add my beautiful daughter who was way too thin at that time from working two jobs and doing full university and she got asked what designer did it for her. The girls were way wealthier than us and she was happy that they all thought it special.
Second I have finished furniture for ages,made couches,chairs and my best creation there was the lounge. My Great Grandfather had a "shrink" couch that was stuffed with horse hair and straw,well that was what they used in the 1800's!!! and covered with leather. My Dad inherited it and had it recovered. I inherited it and stripped it down. Took out a few thousand staples,and the hand made nails that had first been used. Got rid of the horse hair and straw and redid it all. Hubby cleaned and did the woodwork and he picked the fabric. Rather like it now!
People...I do like to meet and find people to hear their stories and love get to gethers! I rarely do nothing as I like to be doing. I have worked at everything... rarely getting paid as I have done a lot to help out. So jack of a lot of trades master of none??? Haaa,haaaa I have dug out for pools,repaired cars in the body work sense,I do fiberglassing. I have done roofing, siding and eves. I have done cement and decking. I have done all interiour stuff to framing and ceilings. Oh,yah, I have installed carpet,all types of flooring and made counters,installed sinks and wall stoves and that kinda stuff and done tons of landscaping. Taken out sidewalks and installed stone. Done a lot of different things,even made props for commercials. But the fun was back in my teens when I made and sold shoes and tie-dye shrits and jeans,did make those too! belts and I did batiking. Then there is the catering done with my husband,biggest group was for 60. Have made jams,pickles and preserves and have always cooked and baked tons,always from scratch but you do that with a family.
So what does the future hold for us all ??? That's what I would love to hear about!! What is your future??? |
