As well as my watercolour cards(pic further back) i also enjoy sewing.  I bought a sewing machine in 2017 and read lots of books and watched youtube to get some idea of what i would like to make.  Love making bags, all the rellies and friends love them.  Here is a pic of my latest.

Stopping by after a long absence (health issues), just to say what fantastic work I'm finding here on my return. Clearly we have a lot of talented people.
To respond to @debbiedo49 's question: although we've included poetry before now, the field of writing is very wide, potentially covering fiction, in all its genres, and autobiographical material. Length is possibly an issue (it might make for very long posts) and writers (speaking as one myself) can be very vulnerable to criticism.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Let me know and I will take it up with the powers that be and see what we can come up with.
With affection, always,
@JennysDad

Toowoomba what a great painting.  Must admit watercolour is my favourite medium and a little pastel. What medium do you prefer??  Exhibited in a vouple of shows this summer and sold 5, very surprised and my cards sell .Super pictures Seawitch - my camera has died on me!!  I have the phone camera but not the same as a camera around my neck.  Dropping lots of hints for Xmas!!

Hi @painter, I spotted your (really lovely!) piece on the activity log earlier, so it's great that you've posted it again here where more of the community can see and appreciate it!

Endings

The last words spoken.
The last feelings felt
The last beat of heart
The last look in eyes
The last scene saw
The last scent smelled
The last touch we felt
The last time that passed
The last breathe gasped.
The last person loved.
Your body has gone 
Your spirit lives on.
Eternally
