I was all excited for today.  I had a brilliant idea for today's post.  I have been thinking about it for weeks!  As soon as I turned on my computer I dashed over to my camera and started taking photo upon photo of what I was to post today...or what I thought I was supposed to post today.  For some reason I thought today was a different day.  To my surprise (after I snapped several pictures) I found that today's challenge was to photograph a talent of mine. 

My awesome idea of awesomeness will have to wait for another day.

A talent...

I cannot draw, paint, decorate cakes, create lions out of foam, or carve elaborate figures from wood, stone, or soap.  I don't play any musical instruments (even though I've tried a couple).  I don't speak multiple languages (even though I've tried quite a few).  Needless to say a talent of mine was hard to come up with.

But I do have talents.  I'm not going to go into all of them, just one.  What you are looking at is my talent!  It's called Swedish Weaving.  Basically the way I do it is take a piece of Monk's cloth and weave yarn (with a BIG needle) into it to make a design.  TA-DA!  That's my talent!

The whole procedure is actually very easy.  It doesn't take an artist's mind to do it.  My little handy dandy Swedish Weave Book gives me all the steps, I do the weaving, and I come out with a masterpiece. This is the kind of art I enjoy.

So, maybe after all, this is not really a talent...maybe it's more of a hobby...but I decided for one day to pretend that it is a talent.

Yep, that is all for today...enjoy!
