Because list-making is one of my true and lasting loves, for some Friday fun I’ve developed a compilation of the leisure-time, hobby-type, creative activities I’ve learned (or attempted and abandoned!) in the past.
Please note, though, that these items represent a wide, wide variety of skill levels! In other words, just because something shows up on the list doesn’t mean that I did it well, or even stuck with it for long… but I did try, which is to me one of the most important things!
So without further ado, I present…
