Until you look at their faces.

I’m a real sucker for all things small (and pretty much anything that’s an animal ). I absolutely love taking care of animals.Pretty much every picture here is a baby of some type of animal lol. I’ve taken care of our old puppy, a duckling named squeaky, some chickadees, an abandoned cardinal egg that I hatched, baby quail, and a few other similar types of things (and then obviously my pets...We take care of them too don’t worry ).

We used to play marbles as kids. I absolutely loved my pretty marbles too! I wonder if they're still around somewhere...

Lol! I have legitimately lost my marbles. They're likely still at my parents house but when I discussed it with my father it became a discussion about me cleaning out their attic. lol, I'll see everyone again in a few months after I dig my way through 70 years of their attic accumulation.

I love beads and making dangle earrings.
It started about 5 years ago when i decided to make a earring display hanger to keep my 50 year collection if my personal earrings organized. I was tired of digging through a box for the mates as it was frustrating and i needed a better way.
I chose an old wooden picture frame, a potato sack and some old chicken wire from the scrap pile.
I found a couple pair of my earrings that needed repair and gave it a try and found i enjoyed it.
Since then i have probably made over 500 pair with the intention of some day buying a slot at the farmers market and make some money.
But now with covid keeping us home and a husband with cancer who i am primary care of at home, dont see that happening soon.
I love trying different combinations, colors and design.
I designed and ordered a little ink stamp, cut and re-purposed some scrap paperboard from work and bought the little zip baggies.
Ive always liked working with my hands and have knitted and croshet since i was 12.

I used to own a white horse that looked like your horse, Charlie. Just a bit bigger and white, and his name was Diablo. I love horses.
Charlie is so handsome.

Thanks!

Hobby #1:

Marble collecting... I got a fairly large bunch of marbles maybe 6 months back. Since then, I acquired several more jars of them. Knowing next to nothing about them, I got several books about them and joined some Facebook groups and a marble forum.

I really like the variety and pretty colors. I have some peewees that are tiny and a very, very large signed marble with a good mix of everything in between. While I am certain I don't have anything very collectable, I am completely hooked.

I am just starting to buy individual marbles for their worth rather than huge jars in hopes of finding a perfect condition rare one.View attachment 2419621View attachment 2419622View attachment 2419623View attachment 2419624View attachment 2419626View attachment 2419627View attachment 2419628

Gorgeous marbles!
I just love them, but I keep losing mine
