We all have our talents and our failures don’t we? Except my cousin who can do very many artistic and craft things, cooks and bakes like a dream, gardens, does her own DIY and always looks elegant.
Needless to say, I hate her 😂 ( no, not at all.)

I can’t do embroidery
I can’t hit a target ( archery…darts )
I can’t swim.

I can't knit to a pattern and can't really knit anything at all.
I can't crochet AT ALL.
I'm quite rubbish at sewing.

That's just for starters !!

I cannot draw or paint to save my life
I’m utterly useless with DIY
I don’t seem very good with growing things, I’ve bought an app and a gauge to measure “dampness” as I’ve finally worked out I overwater and overfeed my plants!
I cannot sew, knit or crochet despite trying and I’m rubbish at crafts!

Mmmm quite a list eh!

Not much good with technology
My cooking is average
Cant do diy in the slightest
And quite a lot more besides.

Thankfully there is a bunch of things I can do.

What can others not do?

I dont have the slightest bit of ego problems with not being able to do some things.
Nor telling people I cant.
And thankfully, being part of a very large family, we all help each other help.

What cant you do?
