Maybe I have more time on my hands or it's just apart of getting older or something else I can't explain. However, I have been in a creative mood. I have so many projects that I wish to start or complete. Some being home-decor related and some being artsy-fartsy stuff.
The normal creative mood that I get sets me up to do a lot of fictional writing and other random acts of art. When the kids allow the time I try to squeeze in playing some music. When I was much younger I spent most of my time editing video which I would like to get back to. Lately running has been my main passion before art or fiction. I've been working on a collection of short stories since my deployment in Afghanistan. Mostly Edgar Allan Poe or H.P. Lovecraft inspirted. I've also been working on a script since about the same time (its taking forever) based on a non-fiction book that I recently read.
However, when creating this thread I meant more of the creative side, more hands on. Many people may have some DIY books or spend time on Pinterest. Are there any projects anyone has been working on.
Recently my wife and I bought an old coffee table. We painted it a pale-pink and then painted the top chalk-board-paint-black so they can draw on it when they watch tv or do homework. She made her friend a wall-hanging with a printed sheet of paper and a piece of wood??
My buddy and I are working on this cabin we recently got. We decided that its not going to have any electricity. So far so good. It's currently ran by old lanterns and propane heaters. We have a large propane drum and a water drum. As soon as we get it down there we are going to have running water for a sink and a shower. The propane will run a refrigerator and a deep freeze. We are building some sleeping shacks in the roof of the cabin. It's been pretty fun. We've got a lot more done since the start of the summer than I thought we would.
For my son's birthday I am going to buy an old dresser. I am going to align the outside of the dresser with flat lego pieces and the inside of the cabinets with different color legos.
My wife, I am building her a wooden-post-directional sign from one of her favorite books. I've been working on this one for a little while. Its kind of hard to sneak out of the house to find a piece of cedar wood, or saw some directional signs and so-fourth.
I forgot to add in the recent Halloween costumes that we (my wife) made.
Plus some salsa. That was my first time making salsa and it was quite fun. We tried using a Ghost Pepper.. it didn't really work.
Anywho, does anyone else out there have any projects that they are working on?
