[Patiocoturnix]

Would you take shooting as a hobby?

If so here’s pics of my hobby.
I love going to the range and being able to get away and go shooting for a bit. It’s also fun to work on my aim and get better.

 

[Patiocoturnix]

I also really like cars. Being able to go and work on a car fix it up and learn how it works is very fun. I like taking pictures of cars. Drifting is also really fun.

 

[The Welch Chickens]

One of my hobbies is candle making… if it can be called a hobby yet; I have only made one candle so far! It was made with beeswax from my hive; I call it “Vanilla Spice”.

 

[Jenbirdee]

Growing medicinal herbs! and making them into tinctures, teas, and salves. This is me harvesting Borage! I am so happy to have it this year as I had trouble getting it to grow the last 2 years and I gave up on it, but this year it grew as a volunteer in 2 new places! I am drying it for tea

 

[Oob Child]

One of my hobbies is sculpting.
