Do you have a hidden talent like needlework or painting or some practical hobby that you do when you have the time and inclination?

This is the thread to sow and tell about the hobbies you have!

I still make plastic model kits...not very practical. But I do shoot and make my own bullets.

ahhhh...let me qualify that so y'all don't get the wrong impression. I do shoot and make my own bullets. I also shoot firearms and make/reload those bullets as well....*winkin*
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

Made tons of models as a kid. Made one as an adult, the German Pocket Battleship the Admiral Graf Spee.

I can knit.  Nothing more complicated than scarves or granny squares, though.  :D

I also like to cook.  I consider that a crafty hobby, since I like to experiment.

Anyone here into Bonsai Trees? Mine always die. But they were cool while they were alive.

This thread reminded me that I sold one of my budget etsy shop sets today....I would have totally forgotten to send it to the buyer tonight since my mind turned off after leaving my day job.

I do various types of crafty things...even though I have a shop it's just a hobby.  I don't plan on making a career out of it but a side project that I enjoy that occasionally makes money is nice.  My etsy:  www.archgrafix.etsy.com

I'm into appreciating Bonsai trees...As for my own attempts - I always try to grow them from seeds, but the seedlings (after months of stratification) nearly always die, just after they sprout.  Maddening, really.

Nice!  Your kitties are lucky!  =D

(By that I mean, they're lucky you're willing to build things to keep them out of trouble.  My kitty gets into EVERYTHING and instead of doing the smart thing like you and making it more difficult for her to mess with my stuff, I just get grumpy.  Hahaha.  I realized my comment didn't really make sense on it's own.   :D )

Well, considering they think it's their new hammock, yeah you can call them lucky!  I've had to run off all 5 of the boys at least twice so far today.  I haven't used it in the room with the girls but I'm sure the one that can see to jump up on will in a matter of seconds.

I think I need to find the spray bottle so I can get this one side finished  :raised:  I have too many more to work on.....  The raven one, the skully one, and formulating an idea for an Alice one.......

I wish I knew how to quilt.  Or use a sewing machine!  So awesome.

I recently discovered my kitty is kookoo for paper mache glue.  Glue!  I'm no veterinarian, but I'm going to guess that kitties should avoid eating glue.  Hahaha.

They should also avoid spilling and rolling in the glue when you aren't around.  One of ours did that with jewelry glue and ended up at the vet to be shaved.
