    I’m a retired USAF wife/ mother. Live on base at Tyndall. Love to keep my home nice and comfy. I love my pets – bassett hounds, tabby cat, and turtles. My oldest (21-female) goes to college and my 2 (14 &10 females) go to school while my husband is still in the USAF. I love organizing. But would love to pick up a hobby. Just don’t know what. My husband bought me a Cannon Rebel T3 camera and maybe would like to take up taking pictures but not sure. I need to find something to do that is more productive.
    I would like to build me a workcenter in the garage by the window???
    Maybe a woodwork area. Love to build and learn.

      Depends on how adventurous you may be. Have you ever thought of metal casting? Not only can you make useful things but decorative as well.
