Inspired by a question about being able to learn & become proficient @ new skills as an adult.....
Thirteen Things I have Learned as an Adult:
1. Crochet. I have made lots of ponchos, a few afghans, hats, scarves, baby 'Mary Janes', bookmarks. I've also learned to read crochet patterns.
2. Sew. I took a costuming class in college but never sewed again until last year. I can produce wearable items for dd & I & really cute purses. Also cloth books are easy to sew & I've made lots of those.
3. The differences between men & women, mothers & fathers, husbands & wives.
4. To be joyful, content, tactful & self-controlled.
5. 'What I'm made of'.
6. Refinish furniture. I've also decoritively painted a few pieces.
7. How to care for a newborn, toddler, youngster & am currently learning how to care for a teen.
8. How to be selfless.
9. How to forgive.
10. How to cook, a little, we don't starve. I can make deliscious Puerto Rican rice. (it's a secret family recipe too! ;o) )
11. Bargain shop.
12. To be a great lover to my DH. {hey it DID take plenty of practice & studying! ;o)}
13. The value of a good facial moisturizer.
I don't know why "NEW" didn't pop up next to your name on my blog...I will have to keep checking even when it doesn't say that. I hope you have a GREAT weekend. Isn't it great to celebrate all the things we keep learning???
