So what kind of things do you guys like to do? What are your hobbies? (sorry I'm not trying to pry )

I love reading, too, but find I only have time for it on the weekends, because weekdays are full of school work and practising music. Bikerbraid, what do you mean by tat?

It can be done with a shuttle or a needle. It was more popular long ago and was used to make doilies, lace collars, and lace edgings for handkerchiefs.

It takes a lot of patience and tenacity to be able to work on one specific thing for long amounts of time. Of course... if you enjoy it, it's not hard at all! Same with me playing the piano... I can go for hours and hours and hours and stop only when someone stops me!

No, you're right and I *do* enjoy it tremendously. After being a writer and computer geek for so many years, it's fabulous to be able to do this now, I am very fortunate. And even though I am working on "one thing," being a cottage artisan involves a lot more than just making hairsticks for the boutique. There's vintage crystals and beads to be hunt down and bought, tons of custom work, website design and maintenance, lots of paperwork and email, designing new styles, writing content for the site, marketing and advertising, shipping, customer appreciation goodies, all kinds of stuff. I am never bored and I am never DONE!

Wow E., you'd love it at my house. We collect vintage kimono, mostly the really extravagant ones (uchikake and furisode). We have tons of orientalia scattered around and when we build our new house next year it's definitely going to be a Japanese design.

Here's some pics of a few of our uchikake (wedding kimono), though the fanciest ones are all packed away. I told my hubby that if we have to evacuate, SAVE THE KIMONO! Hey, I have my priorities! LOL!

I have some silk jackets from Japan and Korea that my father acquired when he was in the Navy during WWII and Korea, but they are NOTHING like what you gals have. I'm with you Rapunzel, SAVE THE KIMONO! [You could ship them to my safe midwest location for safe-keeping 8) )
