Are you crafty?

[afreethinker30]

I'm a dork I know.But I really enjoy making things.Any other crafty persons care to show their creations?

My pond.It took three days of digging alot of rock.It's still a work in progress,but is coming along.
The bar.I didn't build it my hubby did.But I did sanding and painting so that counts right?

Recovered the seats and varnished.
My boys love football.

Man, that pond is coming along nicely. If I most humbly may offer a tiny bit of advice, asymmetry in rock placement looks a bit more natural. And I wish I had a quarter of your talent with sewing.

Well thank you.As for the pond the rocks have been changed daily since water was added.Now it has a waterfall and different rocks.I tend to change my mind over and over again when it comes to landscaping.

This might sound nuts, but that's a sign of a good landscaper.

I did landscaping back in high school. I placed these "flagstone" steps in a thousand different positions before I finally decided on a location and guess what? When I see a picture of it now, I want to go back and adjust them again.

When I was a kid, I used to make models of sail ships with paper and glue and watercolors. Eventually, I got pretty good at it. Started to use cloth for sails too. Unfortunately, none of my creations survived.  

Other than that, most of my artistic skills revolve around shaping words (or so I like to think)

You can find some of my poetry in the Media section.

I could use you to help with the pond.You have a gift for landscaping.I refuse to do anything else using stone it's killing my back    .And nice suit too!

Brilliant!  I love the pond.
Over here, 'crafty' means 'cunning' or even 'sneaky'.  So I'm not, but I am pretty handy.  I like using my little welder to make candlesticks and wall brackets out of scrap.  Horseshoes are especially useful.  I also make walking sticks.  Big beef bones make excellent handles if you run a steel rod inside for strength.
After all that boasting, I  don't yet have a way of putting pictures up, though I am looking into it.

thats a pretty neat pond there and thye bar too
as for me, I rarely try to build anything. I used to try those car and aeroplane models but i always screwed up somehow.

I think you should try your hand at lyrics.The world needs more atheist music.My poor playlist is in lack!

Nice pond, afreethinker30.  I love fiddling around in the yard, and I designed our current landscaping.  (Had to hire big strong men to do the work, but then a girl has her needs!)

I can sew a little by hand, but I don't know how to use a machine.  I love going to the craft store and buying things I can glue together.  I once made a Halloween wreath that I was very proud of.  (Sadly, it didn't survive our last move.)

I'm not afraid to try crafts, but sometimes I'm all thumbs.

I wanted to hire some big strong men to do the work but hubby said no!Haha .The sewing machine I have is alot easier to use then I thought it would be.It's self threading to which is a huge help.It's a Singer Esteem nothing fancy just basic.

I haven't done anything really physical like gardening or refurbishing furniture, but I do scrapbook and do other paper crafts.  My husband is an amateur photographer but he's taking steps to be more professional.  The kid loves to draw.  I guess that's about it for creativity here.
