Tell us about a skill or hobby that you've started or picked back up since the COVID-19 shutdown.
Alicia Schimmels Kane: Water coloring has been a good distraction.
Hank Greer: I am teaching myself how to write music notation so I can put my songs on paper instead of keeping them in my head.
Jesse Vaughan: I'm painting when I can find supplies. Was going to do some acrylic work but they're out.
Sarah Welliver: I have started bread baking... trying to perfect sourdough!
Brendan Flynn: Learning more songs on my bass guitar. My six string is feeling neglected.
Chelsea Inman: Sourdough baking with the starter I made from scratch. It's been so rewarding!
Casey Smith: I am dehydrating fruit and vegetables, doing embroidery and cooking more while my 17-year-old son makes soap for the homeless every Monday and has started growing a dwarf orange tree, bell peppers and has hydroponic greens growing. Keeping busy helps us stay positive while staying safe.
Rayna Ehrgott: Learning videography/editing videos and taking better pictures too.
Kate Pogue Rau: Eating is my new superpower. And gardening, which I always believed I hated until now.
