Short courses

Every year (for about the last 20 years anyway) I have chosen a short course of some sort to do.

It has to be something I haven't done before, and it has to be something not work related.

Previous courses have included:

• millinery (I made a hat with feathers and sequins and flowers),
• chinese cooking
• watercolour painting (i am so totally untalented in this area)
• mosaics,
• italian,
• writing a memoir,
• sewing with lycra (this was a long, long, long, time ago)
• flower arranging,
• rowing,
• beading,
• oil painting (my watercolour teacher suggested I try painting in oils)
• french polishing,
• decoupage,
• coffee making
• paper making
  

Haven't decided yet what this year's 'skill' is going to be.

Will do a barista course (again) as I got a coffee machine for my birhday.

Also will be buying a sewing machine soon (got sewing machine money for birthday also) so may well be something in the sewing line.

In the meantime I'll keep collecting short course brochures until the decision is made.
