Millions of years ago, when my kids were in 3rd grade, they dressed up as "pioneers" for Apple Valley days near the end of the school year.  The boys wore sort of generic button down shirts, but I made Kate a dress, apron and bonnet for her to wear

Did I mention that I spend a lot of time envying people their gifts?

I'd love to be able to sew and crotchet and knit and all that good stuff, but I actually have less talent in *that* area than I do in music, which is really saying something.

I can't really sew. I can kludge things together for costumes, but I don't do real sewing. Like my mom who makes a pattern from my niece's favorite dress so that she can sew a larger version to replace it.

My real gift is photocopying. Although it's a bit of a lost art, since new machines these days do all the work and thinking for you. :)

I think everybody has their own gifts and specialties. It's just easy to marginalize the stuff that is easy for you as not being really worthy.
