Got Hobby ?

Hobbies are a great thing. I know I probably have to many but I enjoy each one. Yes, I am a person who a long lost friend said "Oh Lani you make coffee nervous" Now this is and can be a good thing. I do admit it does have it's challenges but good all in all.




 

As a woman who has grown up, aged, developed, matured, put mileage on. Humm, nice way to put it. Now that I am a person who has more time to enjoy the things I so love to do I find that as long as no one else throws much more drama I can develop my hobbies.  I have many a neighbor who have hobbies and I so admire these woman. Jesus and some even work full time.



I have one woman Karen who lives down the street that has a full time job, 3 horses and 700 chickens. She is amazing she is even raising a child at the same time. Where I live there are so many woman (and their partners) who stay so busy even the more mature ones like myself are not just sitting around.


Ok Ok here are a few examples with pictures because I know you love the pictures.



First and foremost my canning. I do so love this. My granny did some mean ass canning. She was of the Mormon Faith and I do believe it is a part of their thing to keep a good stock of The World is Ending Supplies. Well with that I have been able to get super creative with my jam's. I have some super flavor's that people truly love and are surprised at the taste.


Two koo koo ones are Cranberry Banana and Strawberry Balsamic. Plus I make pickles , soups rubs, all kind of stuff. Good to get back to basics like Granma!

Next we have Quilting this is a on off hobby. I have had so many "issues" in the last few + years thatok off subject.

I have been quilting for about 11 years. I have made several quilts. I love the quilt cronies I get to gather with. I started quilting because one of the girls I use to work with wanted to take a class and I once again said  "Oh I will go with you" . She stopped I kept going back. I do so love it.

That is my baby under her quilt ! Since this is an old picture that baby had a baby !


Different Post !



Next we have Watercolor something I longed to so my whole life and now at the ripe ole' age of wisedom I went for it. I started this adventure in 2011 just because. The Senior Center here has classes and we have a some nice Senior Center. It is beyond me why more of us do not participate at the facility. "Oh I just not there yet" As they walk away with their walker and oxygen!



I love that I can sit and go into another world. Plus there are a lot of nice people. This is my teacher Linda I Wuv her!








Gardening a given for anyone with dirt and hands.I have 1 acre and it would take to long to show you all the stuff I have done. From the good to the just and darn stupid. Oh and the What the Hell happened to that?????

Here is a link for My Dirty Lil' Blog all about my Garden Adventures !




Thank you for stopping by I will do my best to get this Blog back into action.

I do so love to Watercolor

Watercolor is really another of my favorite hobbies. I started in 2011 took one year off and returned. I take my classes' at the Simi Senior Center it is so beautiful there and so much for us Senior Hooligans to do to keep us off the streets and out of trouble.

 I am going to just post some of the pictures so you can look through them.

No reading needed Yes we like that !

Dah Brush Dah Brush

 Yes I am back to my Picasso day's. I have reunited with my Peep's at the Senior Center. Yes a few are gone. You know what that means. NO they have not passed , they have passed on to a new class. Something exciting like Wood Carving or Shuffle Board. Now I know why my Mama said to Shuffle off to Buffalo.







I have taken a hostage this semester yes my Good Pal Linda.







Do you notice that she is at my home and she is doing her homework?

But look at how fricken bored she looks. Like La La La what else. 

 Our teacher Linda is really good and has the nack of teaching us tricks to make the job of painting easier.

 This is a Father daughter team. They are good let me tell ya. It makes my heart warm with da love when I see them. What a good daughter and what a good daddy.

And Linda (My friend) say's and I quote "Funny we are such good friend's, "yet" we have nothing in common" I  did stare at her and with that comment making no sense. I will make sure she never forgets NEVER! Well little Ms. Nothing in common is sitting next to me in Water Color Class.
