Writing as a Family With Similar Craft Interests

By
I have enjoyed writing for years as a novice although I now write together with my daughter on another site.  We share the same interests like photography, crafts,  mosaics, crochet, and my husband also enjoys working with glass which we love the things he makes.



This is Sharon's latest project of Mosaics the nearly finished bird bath that will go next to their fish pond. Do you think the birds will think they will catch a fish for dinner when they first get to see this?

Looks great now it finished.



My daughter works full time yet she still has time to do these and believe me it is not always easy. Especially as she has teenagers that keep her busy as they are both planning their weddings one year apart, so she has to save for these too.  Many times she has cuts all over her fingers from cutting tiles and when she includes glass into her creations as this is sharper still when creating these things.

Personally I prefer to travel, although yes I do crochet, create shell novelties and spend time with my camera taking photos of birds.  This is another interest that we share as Sharon has a bigger camera and lens than me and takes her photography more serious.

You can find many ideas for buying these glass mosaic pieces to create your own planter or whatever you would love to make.

Aren't these lovely and colorful

Mixture of different Seashells We all need to spend time walking on the beach while on holidays. Not only is it a rewarding experience we can lose weight  as we collect shells and use them to make beautiful gifts for Christmas or Birthdays. You can find shells on all beaches; although some will have cowrie shells or cone shells where another beach may only have small little cockle shells.  Others may have conche shells or if you are really lucky you may even find bigger shells.

Or you may want to become a ghost writer; there are so many ways to enjoy making an income even in your own home from a variety of the above types of writing. Correct use of words I am one of many that have difficulties using the right words and knowing how to structure sentences in the correct way.  Yes, I was born in Australia so the English language should be easier for me.  That is the reason I gave up writing fiction and turned to article writing because for me I could write how I felt about a subject.  Without being continually chastised on my choice of dialogue or choice of words. Check out this book -  Writing wit...
