I'm working on a little hand-stitched frog with his own little bindle and I'll be adding a keychain to it

Chuckles, I have a fascination with frogs in literature :lol2:
This one will be very cartoonish though, I'm not sure if that's to your liking.
A bindle is that little picnic blanket or hanky cloth tied to a stick used by runaways or 'hobos', as often depicted in cartoons.

Like many people recently, I've been busy sewing masks for my family.

I've also dabbled in countless other crafts over time, and love hearing what everyone is working on!
I play Bolt Action with a group of friends which is a table top WW2 game with 28mm figures. I just finished painting up a US army a few weeks ago for a game we played last week.

The picture below is our table set up we used.

We've longed to see the roses, but never felt the thorns
And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

We were using forces loosely based on the US assault of Remagen. Every vehicle/infantry we used was seen in source pictures of the battle.

The picture below was a turning point in the battle when my M18 Hellcat managed to get a clear flank shot at a King Tiger blowing it up.

Mr. King,
That looks like an intense and very strategic hobby. Many of the people I know that have served in wartime with the US Military live with PTSD. As a person that lives with PTSD, I can see how recreations of actual events may be a helpful threrapy for those that have PTSD from wartime events.
Besides the table for your recreations being intricate and easy to imagine the story happenings, your family picture is lovely also.
Thank you for your service.

Samantha,
I am getting ready to create paper made from recycled junk mail, to turn into greeting cards, but with a twist. I am going to put some easy to grow seeds in the paper, so that the recipient can upcycle their card, and turn it into some lovely flowers and/or vegetables.
I am excited to see how they turn out!

Since I finished studying and I have nothing to do, I decided to do knitting jersey designs for my daughter and it is really a fun thing to do rather than watching a television the whole day

I have been recently working on trying to make my own hand sewed hair scrunchies and I have also been trying to fix and work on a patch blanket that I fixed. I just love to sew.

It's nice to see so many other craft people here! I love to crochet cute, kawaii, amigurumi. Right now I am crocheting a basket/caddy with teddy bear ears and face to keep my desk tidy. It's taking a long time but I know it will be worth it :D

I’m in the middle of a diamond painting that a friend gifted me, and I have just bought a sander to start some wood works soon! I have become completely crazy, and I want to try to build a DIY dollhouse!
