Latest Craft Pics and some of the train layout from this time last year ... I really need to update train pics ...

Completed the polar bear family, 3 sizes ...

The talent carries on through the family, cool!
That little station kit by Atlas, there by the red telephone box, is a much loved classic here in the US.
Of course it is the cat's layout! It's always the cat's layout >^..^<

I see that the Spitfire is undergoing restoration by the OO people working on its parts in the adjacent building.

Oh, that brings to mind the TRAINZ railroad simulator program, people have created functional aircraft you can drive along invisible tracks both on the ground for runway, and in the sky for flight.
(remember, the program is a railroad simulator, not an open-ended flight simulator)
Most of the planes also have ability to have a view from the cockpit.
And you can either drive them yourself or program an AI driver, as can be done with trains.
(Trainz also has functional ships and road vehicles with which can do likewise)
Some years ago up at Mom & Dad's house one of my brother's boys figured out how to make a loop!

This purchased UK layout, which I forget the name of, has an aviation museum with a Hurricane and a Spitfire which can be driven around the sky over part of the layout. And it has another airport from which you can fly around a circuit over the entire layout.

I have painted my foxen. It seemed a reasonable thing to do on the last night of the year. Now they can repel an army of geese in full colour!

The painted figures do make an attractive game.

the foxen! That army of geese won't stand a chance!

Happy New Year and here's to a creative year ahead!

You are good at painting those foxes and geese!

Hi y'all. Glad I found this thread! I love all the stuff posted so far. I quilt, sew skirts, and dog beds. I also paint, do origami, build and make stuff with my dad when he has time.

I haven't touched my sewing/embroidery machine in over a year though, since I had my burnout. In the middle of like 2 quilts, 2 blankets, a skirt, and Chinese lantern. They have just been sitting there waiting to be finished. Its frustrating. I sit down to finish them and end up zoned out or rubbing my feet on Appa (my pyr/shepard) he always lays under my sewing table when I'm there.

My psychologist suggested I start a new project, something I've never done before, completely different and see if I'm inspired. So... I got interested in little free libraries/giving boxes. They're adorable. Saw some cool ones on pinterest, especially one made from an old dead grandfather clock. Then I found a dead grandfather clock on offerup for $25. I bought it last week. Me and my mom are gonna clean it up and paint it super cute. It'll be a fun new project we can both work on while stuck at home. Hopefully it turns out how I imagine. If I can ever figure out how to post pics on here, I'll post a finished product.

From a few months back: my first attempt at making a magnetic travel game set. Ingredients: a tiny chocolate tin, coloured paper, shirt buttons, 6mm ferrite magnets, glue and blue Sugru. Two medieval games: one side is Brandub, from Ireland; the other is Six Men's Morris. Not the neatest, but it works.

It's just basic crochet stuff.

I called them stim wallets cause I used to crochet as a form of stimming. I had done a lot of it after work, and gave away some finished products.

Then, until I got painful wrist and I stopped...
