GTKY: Hidden Talents

olivemomma · May 2018

Whats your hidden (or not so hidden) talent? Anything at all that you are pretty darn good at above and beyond the average person.

I knit and crochet. I recently made this wearable blanket for DD

sparkymcgeee · May 2018

I'm really good at embroidery. I also paint.

pttomato · May 2018

I knit and quilt and sew a little.

justaplainbagel · May 2018

I'm a professional artist so some people tell me I'm super talented. But of course I don't see myself as that great. Lol. I've been in a few art exhibitions recently so I have that going for me.

olivemomma · May 2018

I’m a little rusty now but I used to be pretty badass on the piano. Would love to get back into it and teach my kids

olivemomma · May 2018

@nottodaysatan that’s awesome! What kind of art do you do? Paint? Draw? Photography? Something else?

emmaaa · May 2018

I'm so jealous/impressed by all y'all's craftiness/talent/artistic ability. I have no hidden talents other than being able to eat a whole can of sour cream and onion Pringles in one sitting.

I did Irish Dancing growing up. It's been a while but I can still work it lol.

justaplainbagel · May 2018

@olivemomma acrylic watercolor paintings. I do mostly abstract and sketch paintings of wildlife. I also do pop culture references like star wars and pokemon.

I am a classically trained pianist. Started playing when I was 5. Continued training until university and then I stopped since I was a science major and the workload was just too much to continue to train at that intensity (and I just wanted to keep piano as my hobby).

I'm a flute player and I quilt ...

drabong88 · May 2018

I played the guitar when I was younger for about 6 years. But I'm pretty sure I've forgotten most of it. You ladies are all so impressive!!!

oaklandava · May 2018

I can make just about anything with vinyl. I (used to be) a tumbler and gymnast--and have been involved in cheerleadinging and coaching for 14 years.

CoastieGirl79 · May 2018

I was a master level rower and briefly volunteered coached the sport at one time. When I was in college I worked in the bakery of a grocery store and learned to decorate cakes. If I could have a side job, that would be it.

gorgeousariel · May 2018

@Ghostie625 I highland danced when I was younger ☺️

I'm really good at putting things off...oh not a talent??
I have my Bachelor's in Photography. And I dabble in seeing and knitting- so I am very artsy.

kns1988 · May 2018

I'm certainly not impressively good at it, but my cool hobby is that I rock climb. I'd say I'm better than the average person since the average person doesn't rock climb.. lol

saltedcaramel518 · May 2018

I can make my tongue into a 3 leaf clover #skillz

kaf1788 · May 2018

Umm I have pretty good handwriting. And that’s about it.

MrsPyrowiz · May 2018

I can clap one handed. Does that count? I dont, I have two kids, besides keeping them alive, I dont remember if I have other talents.

Video or it didn’t happen

eleven_ · May 2018

I can play the drums. I was in a couple different bands in junior high and high school.

DLpanda08 · May 2018

I’m good with cars and simple mechanics (like fixing our garbage disposal or washing machine).

I can also juggle and recite all 50 states in alphabetical order.

sweetyjenj · May 2018

I read people really well, if that's a talent?
I also make badass cookies and pancakes (special ingredient).

Oh, and I've been told it's wordw that I can read a book while running on the treadmill. I do it every time I run and started about 15 years ago, so it's not weird to me.

MrsPyrowiz · May 2018

@ouiser_boudreaux I can't post from mobile, I'll see if I can post it on my laptop when I get a chance.

katethemom · May 2018

@sweetyjenj I read while on the elliptical. But reading while running on the treadmill, that's pretty impressive.

I'm pretty good with accents. I certainly couldn't do it professionally or anything, but I really enjoy trying to imitate how others sound. My favorite accent is a Russian accent. I also like Irish and mid-western. I've been trying to hone a New York accent, but it's challenging.

sfgiantsgamerbabe · May 2018

I can move my right ear by itself. I also play the piano and sing.

MeggieLynne · May 2018

I do and teach singing (musical theatre) and piano. And I act. I crochet (working on blanket 2 of 4 for wedding gifts this summer). I decorate cakes. Not professionally, but I did one friends wedding a year ago and am doing another’s this August. And I dabbled in aerial arts (trapeze, and hoop mostly) until a shoulder injury, then meeting husband, getting dog, having baby, etc
... I’d love to get in shape and get back after this baby. Also jigsaw puzzles.

Also, I can stand in ballet second position (toes pointing out to opposite walls, the ones your shoulders are pointing to) with a few inches of space between my heels and have my knees touch still. I have a few hyper mobile joints (but apparently never quite enough for contortionism).

blueowl08 · May 2018

@kns1988 I climb too! I love it though I started late in life and so I’m not super great at it. Do you plan on continuing while pregnant/getting a maternity harness?

Other than climbing...I’m pretty boring and talentless. Alas.

kns1988 · May 2018

@blueowl08 , awesome! Before my first kid, I saw a woman who was probably 7 months pregnant top roping with a pregnancy harness, and she looked like SUCH a badass. I had full intentions of being like that, but then I was too nervous. I plan to at least climb in my first trimester this time because no harm no foul there. What about you?

blueowl08 · May 2018

@kns1988 this is my first so I have no prior climbing while pregnant experience. I’m currently still bouldering although I’m pretty careful not to take any falls from high up. I’ll switch to toproping at some point soon — maybe when I start showing or I get bored because I’m only climbing easier boulders? I’ve read some articles about it (Beth Rodden has an interesting one with a survey of several hundred ladies who climbed while pregnant) to get a sense of how it might go. My plan is to keep climbing in some form until it just doesn’t feel comfortable. It seems like everyone is different so I’m trying not to commit myself to any particular time frame so I don’t feel bad if I end up stopping fairly early. I think one of the gyms near me has a maternity harmess for rent so I may try it out when the time comes.

jgil85 · May 2018

I play the cello, and have played for over 20 years. <-- whoa that's weird to type out
