I’ve got a Kirigami pack,still neatly boxed. And I buy material for curtains and quilts for windows and beds that I haven’t got.

I still have a lino print making kit that I bought after doing a one day course and getting carried away with my own enthusiasm. It’s still in its box. I’m sure I’ll get round to it - one day…..

Well yes. Always try new recipes. Just about to have a book published… something I never ever thought about before. Always up for trying new things…people also.

I love to make stuff, just about willing to try anything. At least once.
So, am I the only one? I like to try something new when life gets crazy. Life has been extremely crazy now for about 2 years. And I think we are about to have things calm down. (Knock on wood!) And now I am working on learning how to do beaded embroidery. I also am planning to add it to my silk embroidery and water colored fabric stuff. So far what I am doing I expect I will clip and return to the boxes just because it is practice and not something I want to keep forever.
So when do you choose to learn something new and what inspires you. My kid found a HUGH box of presorted beads And he got it for free and said I know you can do something with this Mom. I started looking on Youtube....
As long as it is portable...
