I regularly engage in puttering around the house doing odd jobs. I recently put up some tile in the bathroom, put a new faucet on the tub, put up some wallpaper, put down some thresholds in two places and hung some shelving. I have plans to sand and stain all of my kitchen cabinets this summer; rip off paneling, pour in insulation, sheetrock, and paint my daughter bedroom this summer as well. I enjoy those projects immensely. It's a real change of pace from what I do every day - caring for kids. I enjoy getting messy and not wiping up the messes until I'm finished with what I'm doing.
I also sew a lot. I've created a few shirts and dresses from imagination and they've turned out well in my opinion. They've even drawn compliments before the people knew that I had created them.
I enjoy decorating the home, rearranging furniture, baking all kinds of things and even coming up with my own variations on recipies. Some things I've cooked up have become favorites and end up on our menu pretty regularly.
What I'd like to do - I'd love to take a dancing or martial arts class. I'd LOVE to go swimming more - every day if I could. I'd like to paint in oils or acrylic. I have no where to shut out the 4 yr old and just paint. I'd also love to do some stained glass again (I have this dream of taking down our church's stained glass windows, wicking off all the solder, and retaping and soldering them because they're sagging and missing a few pieces) but that costs soooo much to get started. If I ever find the tools for cheap or free even you can bet I'd be into that again.
