Hobby Thread - October 4, 2025 [Santa Rex]

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, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. A spin of the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies (TM) landed on Christmas crafting.

If you are tempted to say "I don't make things for Christmas, so there is nothing here for me," let the thought pass. No Moron could possibly say such a thing. Stick around. You might be entertained or learn something. You might enjoy hearing from others and seeing what others are hobbying.

I have faith that you can find something in the content that resonates or contribute your own hobbying interests. Dig around in the content and soak in the comments. Be curious. Glad you're here.

TRex has been detailed for duty elsewhere, so behave yourself in the comments. The Grateful will be looking out for unapproved shenanigans.

What are you hobbying?

As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to hobbying. All (legal) hobbying is welcome. However, politics, current events and religious debates can live in threads elsewhere. Pants are optional. Puns are welcome and encouraged.

Play nice. Don't be a troll and do not feed the trolls.

We are under three months to Christmas. That means Christmas crafting needs to be in process!!!

What hobbying are you planning for this Christmas? Are you making gifts?

Are you making your own cards?

Are you already Christmas crafting?

Are you plotting decorations inside or outside your house?

Are you looking forward to putting out the products of Christmas crafting from prior years?

Do you have Christmas crafting hobbying traditions?

We are blessed to have Christmas crafting projects from The Grateful.

Cross stitch ornaments anyone? These were made for donation to a church Christmas craft sale.

I know what you're going to say. "I'm not much of a stitcher. I'm more of a painter."

Yes, this has been posted many times on social media. I don't care.

Words of wisdom:

"Because despite all our troubles, when things are grim out in that wide round world of ours, that's when it's really important to have a good hobby." Posted by: tankascribe at June 22, 2024 07:41 PM (HWxAD).

If you have trouble finding something in the content or comments that resonates with you, contribute something from your personal hobbying. We will feature a different theme next time. What are you hobbying? We love showing off Horde hobbying. Send thoughts, suggestions and photos of your hobbying to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Do mighty things.
