3. Our bodies are the only things we truly own
Everything else is simply a right of usage.

11. For a serious reply.
I have plenty of photography that I've done that is just waiting to go up on the walls. I took the photographs, processed them using various tools on the PC, and printed them on a wide-format printer. And there they sit, waiting for framing and hanging.

13. Besides food?
Hm.

No children.

I don't sew, stich or knit.

Didn't make any of my furniture.

I have artwork made by a friend, and a few book manuscripts I made myself. Does that count?

14. lots of stuff
I bake a lot so there's plenty of baked goodies made from scratch. There are also some ceramics I made as a kid, a book I wrote and put together myself back in 6th grade, several embroidery projects from years ago, and some other little knickknacks I've either made or painted/decorated over the years.

20. I have drawings and paintings that I've done.
They sit in my art closet until I put them in a show, sell, or donate them to a charity. They aren't hanging on the walls, though. I have other artists work from the last century hanging on the walls.

22. Beer, couple of tables, bed, some dressers, stereo cabinet.
I got 3 kegs in the fridge and a 4th sitting out because I don't have the room. Used to build furniture for a living.

23. Where do I start???
Three kids, of course. I've built a large wine storage cabinet for my DH, a daybed for my daughter, bookcases, a corner tv/video cabinet, closet storage units. Almost every piece of wood furniture in my house has been salvaged, restored or refinished, or creatively painted or decoupaged. I've made quilts. I'm currently making rag rugs from recycled t-shirts. I draw and paint, and do my own matting and framing.

I'm a little hyper....:+
