Im not sure if this falls under the craft category, but ive always wanted to build a boat. Last year for fathers day I got myself a canoe building kit. When completed, wasnt the prettiest thing, but it actually floated

This winter/ spring I may make a kayak.

Almost forgot, I got the captains hat as part of my fathers day gift.

 

[deelady]

Looks pretty to me!!! I love canoes! And I would say thats pretty crafty!!

 

[larry_stewart]

Well, I wont tell you how i wanted to paint it. My wife wouldnt let me do what i wanted to do, so i just used what i had in the garage

 

[LPBeier]

Great Job Larry!

 

[pdswife]

pretty cool! I'd say it counts!

 

[suziquzie]

Counts in my book!
Nice boat (and hat!)

 

[larry_stewart]

wouldnt be the same without the hat I was almost tempted to break a bottle of my home made kiwi wine when i was ready to launch the boat, but i was afraid the boat would break!!

 

[suziquzie]

LOL!!!
What movie was that.... One Crazy Summer I think.... with John Cusack.... they built "the boat", and smashed the bottle right thru the hull???
LOVE that movie!
Just my stupid sense of humor....

Anyway here's Mr.Spider (not to be confused with SpiderMan..)
hanging out with his little waiting-to-be-mailed candycorn friends.

 

[pdswife]

oh Suzie, they are wonderful!!
Really they are!!

 

[larry_stewart]

I love the candy corn, they are great ..

 

[suziquzie]

Larry I got the pattern from lionbrand yarn....
I bet your crochet prize winning wife could crank a few out for ya before Friday.... they take maybe an hour.... ok 6 hours in my house....
pdswife and GrantsKat were supposed to have these guys last week and I'm WAY behind!!!!

 

[larry_stewart]

As you were typing , i ran up and showed my wife how cute they were . Ill see if i can find some pics of the things she crochets and post them here too since she is more crafty than me, I just build things.

 

[pdswife]

Larry building things is crafty!!

 

[larry_stewart]

True, but I guess Im a hammer and nails kinda guy, while my wife and daughter are glue, yarn ,and sticker things I like wood, rocks and dirt, they like paint, wax and soaps..

 

[pdswife]

as long as you are creating something that you are proud of.. something that makes you happy it counts.

 

[suziquzie]

where would the world be without yarn???
