I asked for and got this space for the use of all members to show off hobbies they're involved in which are outside of the realm of Lapidary and jewelry. I know that I can't be the only person on this forum with outside interests, so come on and show us your other hobbies.

My own is leather carving. I've been away from that hobby for 30 + years, and recently decided to get back into the craft.

Anything for you buddy

[Lydia]

Awesome. But, you know we want pictures, right?

[jakesrocks]

Lydia, when I start on leather tooling I plan to do a step by step layout with plenty of pics. If you have any hobbies that you'd like to share, please join in. It's always interesting to see what folks do outside of the lapidary / jewelry world. You know, for those times when you just need a break from your main interests.

Has any one else seen the new mining show? it is on the Nat Geo channel.

Winter Aconite

Hellebore

Thought I would just show my other interest.

Thanks for showing the 8's. Beautiful flowers. I tried growing perennials when we first moved to S.D., but with our crazy springs the flowers would break dormancy, put out leaves & flower buds, then get frozen right back to the ground.

8's, its so refreshing to see lovely flowers in the middle of winter! That's a real treat so thanks for showing them to us. Is the coffee plant still doing well?

[Lydia]

Nice. We've just had snow drops and the beginnings of daffodils.

[crazy8s]

Yes, the coffee plant is doing quite well. it is hanging out with the orchids.

I know I've asked this before but I forget the answer. Do you ever get beans?
