Are You Crafty?

as I just started a new job.

Good news and all the best for the new job, Derf.

I guess I'm kinda crafty.  Years ago I did a lot of sketching and painting.  In later years, with kids and pets, I just didn't have the time. I would like to get into it now though. I've even thought about taking a watercolor painting class. 

Right now, my hobby is my sony cybershot H55 digital camera.  It's a point and shoot, but takes very good pics.  I'm into taking pics of flowers, wildlife, etc. I have them in a Flickr account and actually get views. woo hoo!

F Yeah I'm crafty!  I craft myself into trouble though.  I've been up til wee hours of the morning making cards and invitations.. grumpy and complaining about having to do it when it was my great idea to begin with.  But when it's all done, I feel so accomplished!  My husband helps out too, he's a drafter so he's really good at making measurements and drawing lines and cutting stuff... well I am too, but I make him do it because he's supposed to be a professional.  We made a really nice window bench in my mom's house and I've been wanting to make one for ours since.  I can draw too.. I actually made a pretty good bit of money drawing portraits for people after high school.  Usually it was just someone's kids, which is really stressful because I feel so much pressure drawing something so personal, but a few people wanted drawings of celebrities.  I even got to draw Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck!

Lately I've just been into decorating and creative baking like Gingerbread Houses and stupid cupcakes.

I recently finished my daughters room and it turned out pretty good!  I did some random stencilling in one corner, made her windows fancy since the view isn't much:


I put glitter on my bathroom walls and BLOOD on the guest room walls a few years ago:


And this is last year's gingerbread house.. kind of hastily done and not my best, but it's still cute!  And no, I didn't make Yukon Cornelius, my uncle added him in.

You might call me "crafty".  I'm into "circuit bending".  That's taking battery operated toys, games, or anything else that's electronic and makes a sound, and short circuiting them in various ways to turn them into experimental musical (non-musical, maybe noise generating) instruments.
