Needleroozer Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Did you notice how many of us had a hard time doing that? I think we need to think about what we are good at a great deal more often than we do, and I thank you for getting us started! It was very interesting to see what others' talents and interests are- maybe we should do this once a month, hmm? LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm fairly proficient at knitting and spelling. :-) How long have you been knitting? I don't know if that's something I'll ever get the hang of. I probably need someone sitting right next to me teaching, rather than trying to learn from a book.

Andie Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am once again good at making banana bread, Crissy. Today, I remembered the flour. Nearly forgot the egg, but caught myself. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always learn new things too, which is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am once again good at making banana bread, Crissy. :D Way to go, Andie! Did I tell you I usually make two loaves? Half of us like nuts in our baked goodies, the other half hate them, so I make one with and one without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 It's okay. We'll get the hang of this place. I think your locker's right next to mine. By the cafeteria.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krista in LA Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well thanks for posting it. I think it's good for us to all think about such things once in awhile. I really enjoyed reading everyone's answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deece in MN Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well, I can quilt a very nice quilt, make cool/funky bags, annoy my dc and make my dh laugh (it is usually at me, not with me and I don't always get why, buy hey, I am good at it :) ).

Crissy Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well, I can quilt a very nice quilt, Deece I have *always* wanted to learn to quilt. I just love the quilts my grandmother made when I was young. Aren't those kinds of things just so special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have a six-page long Amazon wish list! I am good at helping people with their writing. I am pretty good at keeping my house clean. Is that enough? This is a fun thread, and maybe it will help me get out of just visiting status. Blessings, WTMCassandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm a great speller, and I"m good at organizing through paperwork. I can pull together a spreadsheet adn have people where they need to be in no time! I can also tell you who has paid and who owes what. Do NOT ask me to talk much to those people though! And, I'm pretty good at decorating, when DH lets me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't those kinds of things just so special? Yes, they are :) I have a quilt that my great-grandma made and I just love it. I don't use it right now because it needs some repairs and I don't want to make it worse. Quilting was one of those things that I kept saying I would like to do "someday". Finally, I just told myself I can't wait for "someday" to come because it never will. I started quilting about 5 years ago and shortly after that my dh started quilting. It is really nice that we can do this together. My dd has also started sewing her own creations. We are having a lot of fun with it and I am glad I decided to just do it.

Sparkle Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have a six-page long Amazon wish list! Blessings, WTMCassandra I have 4 or 5 Amazon wishlists :eek: Even if I bought one item a month, I'd be dead before I bought everything on my lists. Probably doesn't help that I add to them every month too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristiana Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 There, I said it, and I should be, I've been playing for 23 years. :) I also like to think I'm pretty good at family history research, though largely self-taught. I love to find families and solve puzzles that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Okay, I am very good at taking responsibility and getting a job done (think volunteer things here, tho I do it at home, too lol). I write a good newsletter. I can be silly and joke around with my kids. I'm a good cook and baker. I'm sure there's much more, but I'll have to think about it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIY-DY Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 ...If you didn't add to the former post, how about posting here... I didn't post in that one. But I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! On my part... I can learn *anything*. Anything at all. Just give me a little time (b/c I'm getting older and that learning curve does seem to be getting steeper), and I can figure it out. I hope that I am encouraging, and can make people laugh. That's a hard one to put down as a definitive statement, though, because I wonder where it falls between what we think we are and what others think we are. I've heard the truth is somewhere in the middle. But I do aspire to that. Daily. (There are too many people in this house, alone, who need laughter and encouragement for me not to keep working at it!) Anyway, it was a delightful thread, and to be honest, there were so many things I could have added to those of you I've come to know - things you are wonderful at doing, and have done for me, or for others, that shines through beautifully. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think I am good at organizing, especially my house and the kids school work. I don't do so good with outside obligations as it's hard to organize other people! I am good at 'hearing' music; I love to sing and can harmonize with almost anyone singing almost any type of music. I am good at getting on other peoples' nerves as my personality seems to grate on most people that I meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm a pretty good technical writer. I can fix lots of things. I can build furniture and do big stuff like that. I am rotten at anything requiring fine motor skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
