Wow, look at all the talent here! I'll add my two cents:

I'm a clothing designer for plus sizes...have begun to dabble in designing bikewear for plus sizes.

My small biz right now focuses on fiber art, my hand-dyed wool for spinning and felting, and also knitwear design. I also design hand-spun yarns for knitting, and hand-painted yarns for knitting.

Oh, and here's my work in progress on my version of the "cycling sock"...a blend of wool/bamboo/nylon that feels great in the cycling shoe:


I'm going to play around with different designs for the cuff at the ankle, and of course, COLORS!! (I love color!)

I also love beading with seed beads...the really teeny ones, and love doing Russian beading. Crocheted ropes with seed beads are my fave right now:


Now, if I try to do gardening, I tend to kill everything in sight. And cooking is a drag to me. But if it's fashion, I'm in!

That sock is gorgeous, and the materials sound comfy.

Well, the smile certainly does.

I totally agree that your smile sums it up! I love this picture...makes me happy just looking at it! (grins!!)

I love to fly fish too!!

I think we both live in the right parts of the country then!!
I look at all of the nice hand crafted things people make and think "why in the world would you want to sit still long enough?"

Too many hobbies and not enough time!

Besides bicycling, seakayaking and hiking/backpacking....

I have one acre of extensive gardens and a greenhouse.
I'm renovating the 1926 schoolhouse I live in, a multi-year undertaking.
I've been a very active motorcyclist for 25 years, traveling all over North America on long trips.
Then last summer I decided to get my pilots license. My life has become consumed with working on my license, flying, learning all I can and planning on how to buy a plane. One of my two motorcycles is for sale...

Good thing I bought a good road bike before I started this endeavour!

[Juliegoddess]

Wow, girl I thought i did a lot of stuff! Good for you! You remind me of "Rose" from the movie "Titanic", who was determined to live life to the fullest...good for you!

Hello from a fellow aviator! I got all my licenses when I went to college (up to Commercial and Certified Flight Instructor). I'm not actively flying for a job right now- I have in the past though. My current job has me doing everything but flying (I work flight dispatch for a large cargo airline).

You get to fly though for fun don't you?! I hope so.

One of my flight instructors is a young woman, only 23...she's wonderful and has great patience and I appreciate being taught by a woman as I think sometimes we have a slightly different learning approach.

I'm so excited...today I called a woman about joining the Ninety-Nines and was invited to fly with her to the sectional meeting in Ottawa, Ont for a weekend in May! I can hardly wait! will be a great learning experience and they seem very active in mentoring other women student pilots.

Funny, one of the first things I thought about when I started learning to fly was that I would be able to stick my bike, broke down, into the cargo and fly someplace to do centuries etc. That and backpacking equipment.
