You guys know about my knives and cooking so how about these as well?
Black work I'm doing on some Ren gear -
Bobbin lace pieces. I'm hoping that if I ever need a jabot I can do my own.
Bookmark done out of embroidery thread -
A practice piece done out of linen -
I've picked a few other minor things like hardanger and cross stitch.

I love that bobbin lace!! I have a few antique patterns for crochet lace that I replicated but I've been too timid to attempt bobbin and tatting lace. Well,I did try tatting years ago but ended up with a mess of knots and nothing resembling lace at all.
Do my cats count as hobbies? If not, then my other one would be leatherwork. Here are a few pics:
I have a bunch of cats too.
I do grow mesquite trees, which have excellent hard wood.
Only I don't have pictures.
I also have several bonsai in training.
I don't have pictures of those either.
The bonsai don't look impressive until they are in their containers and are being maintained in their intended form, or at least have all the sacrifice branches pruned off. It can take years and years to get to that point, and I've only so far developed trunks and first few main branches on my trees.
So there's my wooden hobbies.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Come down to my neck of the woods. You can't spit without hitting a mesquite tree.
