Hobby Thread - April 19, 2025 [TRex]

Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies(TM) the weekend off because Peter Cottontail has taken over. Let's talk Easter!

Are you Hobbying for Easter? Crafts, clothing, decorations, baskets, food?

Something like 60 years ago, Grandma Rex decorated her own Easter eggs and hung them on her Easter Tree. Those eggs are family treasures and we enjoy seeing them displayed each year.

As you might imagine, 60 year old eggs are fragile. Grateful is a crafty sort and recently gave new life to many of the eggs with a regime of repairs and repainting.

Found these in a friend's gift shop. Always liked them. They're handmade but can't recall any more backstory:

Found this buried in my folders. "The Delbert Grady Family celebrating Easter at the Overlook Hotel, 1926." Terrifying.

Somebody please try this and send a photo of the result:

What are you hobbying these days? Does spring weather open up new options for your hobbying? As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to hobbying. Your participation does not need to limited to the theme. All hobbying is welcome. However, politics, current events and religious debates can live in threads elsewhere. Play nice. Do not be a troll and do not feed the trolls. Pants, as always, are optional.

Did you miss the Hobby Thread last week? We talked miniature figurines. The comments may be closed, but you can re-live the content.
