Post your special talents here


Not something for me. Apart from a love of technology, and especially computers, I seem to be able to take photos but I don't have any special talents that anyone would want to pay for.

I'm sure all of you have something special. I know Petal does beautiful cross-stitching and she can paint. I wish I could do that. I can't even draw a straight line using a ruler. emoticon

Re:


Not me... I'm good with data and programming but that's my job so I don't consider it a talent. I love to cook but I doubt I could make a living at it.

I would love to be able to have a talent... but I fear I am basically boring. LOL

I've at best memorized over 400 digits of pi.

I can - sometimes, left hand only - put thumb behind index knuckle.

Wow, that's pretty amazing being able to remember that Kaunisto. I have a flair with phone numbers and birthdays, and obscure pieces of trivia. I also have the ability to speak on any subject, in a long boring voice. Ask me about a topic, and I'm pull out opinions out of the air, and waffle about it. Which is why I've been called a know it all, and even though I say that it's impossibly to know everything, still get told that I think I know everything. Although I wonder how other people know what I think???

Anyway that's about the extent of my talents.

Becky I'm sure you're a way better cook than I am. I'm getting worse as I get older.

I have the ability to look at a dress and copy it to the last detail. But can't come up with my own design to save me.

Re:


I'm good at being a grandmother, that's about it.

I can't see well enough to do cross-stitch and embroidery any more, and I gave all my brushes, easels and paints away when we moved here. Loved those hobbies though ... and I miss them.

I used to bake and cook quite well but I've eased off with that kind of thing and don't bother much these days.

Re:


Barbara you remind e of my mother, she could do that too, but she was also a natural designer. All of my sisters have amazing talent with needlework of every kind, not me. I can do it technically, but not artistically.

I'm sure we can all think of new things we can do as we move on.

I was lucky to get one of my photos shown at a gallery in Manhattan last year. It didn't win the prize which was an apartment there for a year, plus the cost of travel etc., but I was honoured that it was chosen for the display. I'll dine off that one for the rest of my life.

Re:


I'm considering getting rid of all my needlework craft equipment. I have books, magazines, threads and cottons to start a shop - fabric, and a host of stuff which is all quite valuable to someone who enjoys embroidery and cross stitch etc. I love it, but my eyesight doesn't allow me to do the finer work any more.

It's hard to let go though! So I'm just thinking about it at this stage ... might try to get a stronger light, or a magnifying light, and have another bash at creating something when the colder weather sets in.

Do you have an Ott Light Petal? Makes a huge difference. It's a shame when you have to give up something you love doing.

No I don't Barbara ... never heard of those. Will have to Google it! Thank you for the suggestion - and hugs on the loss of your friend.
