    ice-cream! I am on a mission to feed everyone homemade ice-cream whenever I can. Looove going to the farmer's market, picking up fruit and brain storming some idea. The latest is peach mascarpone with honey cinnamon caramel. I was thinking of roasted plum or pluots with walnuts and honey.


    Then it is crochet, and currently I am dying silk scarves actually because I need them for the mosque but it has got me thinking of how I could possibly help BC chemo patients. I like the silk because it soft and light, great on hot days in the summer.

    Photography is something else I love doing as is watching junky TV shows and eating chocolate.

    I love home made ice cream
    I love home made ice cream but haven't had it in a long time! I need to meet you Mariam! lol

    Work and Hobbies
    I work in a Stained Glass Shop teaching Fused Glass Art. I also do this form of art for our home and gifts. I'm looking as selling some of my work in the near future. I also create rubber stamped, die cut and mixed media cards for personal use mostly. I'll start soon to work on this years holiday cards.

    Other things I enjoy is reading, cooking (but hate my kitchen (: narrow and small). This kitchen makes it unenjoyable to be in it and cook. This is one of the many rooms we were going to fix with the two year plan to remodel, update and sell. That was 14 years ago, so...not on plan.

    Hi all, just came across this site and this is the first message thread I have read/scanned through. I work at a cat sanctuary and really enjoyed all of the cat avatars I saw in this thread.

    Good one Susie!
    It's nice to take these little "breaks" from the world of cancer.

    Yup, FB is on the list, BUT, my passion is being "Mo Mo" to my 2 favorite little guys. Who would have thought that playing cars on the floor, watching Toy Story for the 100th time and having popsicle parties would be the best thing!

    Enjoy breaking bread with family & friends, walks, baking and road trips.

    Unfortunately, I work in a large corporate company and have quite a few friends that have been diagnosed. When I was diagnosed, I recieved a basket of goodies from my friends. It felt so special to open up cards, notes & gifts of inspiration. Since then, I have put together "love boxes" for people that I know that have been diagnosed. I hope it's as special to them as it was to me.

    The latest one is my own beautiful cousin, Stayce who lives in Germany, diagnosed 2 months ago. It's bittersweet. Although I love putting them together to help them, I've made way too many :(

    Hugs,

    Sylvia

    I really like this idea of love boxes too. It's not only a very sweet and generous idea, but, I am sure whomever receives one has a big smile on their face afterwords.

    I just recently have started crocheting. I am not sure that I will continue as it takes a lot of patience, but, am hoping I can. Donna on here inspired me to make some hats for chemo patients.

    My husband is my hobby and pastime! lol When it's nice I do love to work in the yard, love watching football in the Fall all curled up with my hubby on the couch, taking walks in the snow and having snowball fights, or, making snow angels. Pretty much anything, I enjoy.

    gardening
    Not that I am always a green thumb but it does result in some exercise and sunshine. Next thing is canning the food. My dh says this is my hobby but it is too much work to call a hobby. It does however save money and I am definately into that. It also allows me to control my diet better. I play solitare on the computer and make a bargain with myself to get up and do a few house chores after a certain number of games depending on how much work there is. When the grandchildren are around I pick on them and they pick back (all in good fun of course). Until i had to give up the internet I did a lot of Facebook and will still venture there when I go to the library as it allows me to catch up with out of town relatives.

    This isn't a hobby or a
    This isn't a hobby or a pasttime yet, but, my hubby and I are going to go snowboarding this winter. We ski, but, never snowboarded, so, this should be interesting, and, hopefully not dangerous. lol

    Anyone else ever snowboarded?

    Hobbies
    I love to crochet scarfs. I do alot of christmas arts and crafts thru out the year to give away as gifts. I love to read. But my #1 thing that I love to do is genealogy. I love finding out where my ancestors came from.

    I am thinking of starting quilting. They offer classes locally and I think I might like it. I guess if I don't, I am not out too much. Anyone here quilt?
