Ended Official BYC Mini Contest - "WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY?"

I can fully relate to that. I used to paint fantasy miniature (still kinda try on occasion), but between failing eyes and lost dexterity, it can be a struggle.

wow they are small and very neat.... I feel your pain on the eye issue. my hands have become some issues as well but not like loosing my eyes, I have major issues this past year and partly because of meds I have to take.

My favorite !

basic 28mm AD&D style gaming mini, with cheap resin barrels and crates. Sadly, there are a TON of printable minis available now, including diorama scenery - none of which I can see well enough to paint <sigh>.

since I gained this weight I swear I sweat non stop and take twice as many, this sat I took three! But after I make soap I need to shower, I get gross just from the task. And we laid a new floor in the porch addition, so the dust removal was a necessity too! I used to get up at 430 am to go to work, and I would always take another shower in the morning because I felt like I get greasy and needed one. Oh man, as you get older you sure do change up a few things, like getting on hands and knees to clean the floor. I only do that if I fall over and it gets cleaned with my butt as I attempt to get up

My number one hobby is caring for my flock but that hobby has moved me to learn to sew which I absolutely love doing! A few years ago, my mom gave me her old sewing machine when she got a new one. This was the old one that she had I was a kid and I remembered her making Halloween costumes for my brother and I. It sat in the closet collecting dust for a while until after I started keeping chickens. Then I learned about chicken saddles and was very intrigued by them. I ordered a few but then decided that I wanted to try to make them on my own so I dug out that dusty old machine and learned how to use it. I now make and sell LF, bantam and even turkey sized saddles. They took a lot of trial and error to perfect but it's now something I love doing.

Learning to sew these saddles opened the door to sewing other things too. Last fall, my mom and I got our machines together and worked for a few months to make a quilt for my dad for Christmas. He had numerous old T-shirts from events that he had participated in or that pertained to his hobbies that he told my mom to toss. She hid them instead until we could do this. We even made 2 pillows to go with it. And this year, I modified a giant old Teddy Bear into a Halloween costume for my son lol

I have to slap my hands whenever I walk by their little chicken figurines in a store. Too expensive, too expensive, too expensive—but very cute.
