Question # 4
4. What were your hobbies as you were growing up?
***
My Answer:
There were so many things I did in the way of hobbies. I’d try all kinds of arts and crafts type things. I never knew what to do with the things I finished, but I had fun making them. Some of them were:
My mosaic picture
- Making mosaic pictures using little colored rocks. They usually came in a kit. I still have one that I made.
- Drawing all kinds of things. I drew on any kind of paper I could find, like manilla paper, notebook paper, butcher paper, brown paper bags, and even the back of wall paper samples. I once entered a drawing contest, like you see in a magazine, where you draw the little provided picture, then send it in. They were supposed to tell you if it was any good, I guess. Well, I drew the picture of the face of Abraham Lincoln. It looked pretty good, so I sent it in. Awhile later a representative of the Art Institute School, came to our house to say how good my drawing was. However…he found out I was only like 10 or 12 years old, so I was too young to get a place in their art school. He said I should check them out when I was legal age. I still have the picture I drew, and the letter from them. … Otherwise, I mostly drew horses and dogs.
- Painting with watercolors. I had a big easel, and lots of paint, so I’d paint a lot of things.
- Embroidery. I’d sew little pictures all over my dad’s handkerchiefs, and also on pillowcases. My grandma taught me how to do embroidery, and I did keep on with it for many years. I’d make dish towels with embroidered pictures on them, to give as gifts.
- Reading all the books I could. Also, writing all kinds of things.
This list is getting too long, but I sure tried my hand at these and many more hobby-like things over the years.
