Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
I like to make clothes but they are deifinetly not accurate historical costumes, yet.
I also chose 'other' for my growing interest in gardening and cooking in a more homemade-from scratch kind of way. I've been partial to a simpler lifestyle and Tolkien's works fuels the fire, but I wouldn't want to live totally "off the grid" cause I like my computer and movies too much.

For example, I tried to write poems because of Tolkien's works, but I made only a few before I gave up. Shall I check the "Write poetry" box even though my attempt to become a poet was quite short-lived?
