As some of you know, I enjoy playing golf. I also enjoy writing and travel.

For my hobbie I"m an artist blacksmith besides fences and gates I make roses,trivits,fire place tools ,and anything we can think of.Ihave no way to post pics.but if you check out (Anvilfire.com click on Iforge)you can see the stuff we make#146 is the rose. I also play with antique tractors and hit&miss engines

do you know about my iron fence pieces and gates fetish?????????

I can tell you that Mrs. Aqua has a quite lovely bracelet... although Lil didn't exactly sell it to me... ;)

uh...okay...what? did ya'll trade or sumpthin'? lol ;)

hmm..I don't really make things...I do sing and play the piano.....nothing original just singing and playing along to my favorites..I'd love to get up the guts to sing a version of "o holy night" sometime and record it :rolleyes:

hmmmmm where to begin?.... Mom was (now retired) a home ec teacher, so I tried a lot of things at a fairly young age ... learned to really enjoy doing many of them. I knit ... have done some really time consuming and detailed sweaters .... love the process of watching all the pieces fall into place ... but I don't wear sweaters so friends and family were usually the recipients of what I made - always specifically decieded upon for that person anyway. I also do counted cross stitch and have done some really beautiful patterns ... mainly of women (different times, cultures, etc.) But have also done various other types as gifts for others. I hand bead onto fabric for projects ... even have done some heavily hand beaded lamp shades for special gifts for friends. I crochet (though I really prefer knitting). I write poetry and songs and sing as well ... ..... blah blah blah .... :)

I do have to say that people have often asked me how much I would charge for a certain item and other then a few things that I have done for charity auctions, I always tell them that they couldn't afford to pay me enough, but someday I might gladly do it for caring/love.

Woodworking has become my passion...in spite of the fact that it puts my fingers at risk with power tools (I can see myself losing a finger & never playing the guitar again...<<shudder>>>) but the joy of taking dead trees & massaging the grain into something pretty is addictive...I make jewelry/keepsake boxes & wind chimes & spinners...Lilith has one of each of my wind thingies, also I sold one to SS some time back...trying to make it a paying hobby on eBay...anyway, here's a few that I only have pics to remind me of...

Those are *beautiful*, Scotz

TY, they were fun to make...

Here's one I've sold but not yet been paid for....%$$^^&%##@ paypal

Yay Cherrypie - I make soap too! Well, I actually haven't done any for quite a while, because as you say it's tedious, and I struggle to get the time and money for ingredients, but it's something I love. I've actually concentrated more on cosmetics like lip balms, hand creams, etc of late, but have promised myself I'm going to do more soap in the new year.

I also love to cook and make/ decorate cakes for special occasions.

However my biggest hobby is not something I make but something I do - this:-

Nice work!

You guys are great! lilith I loveee your jewelry!

Lil, me too. Just got to looking at your work...WOW!

You have many talents! ;)

Thanks for the kind words....I wish I could afford to make what I really like. I could be happy vacationing and shopping for stones and silver to make stuff my whole life.
