 augmented reality! It was one of things I considered for my thesis but ended up choosing something else instead. I shouldn't have much time for crafts, but I'm spending all my breaks working on stuff for the budgie room. Yesterday I finished the first of Tequila's ladders. So nice to read what you're all up to and nice to know we're forming a community here not just a q&a budgie-related forum. |

I think making stuff for the budgie room very much qualifies as Me Time, or a craft or whatever, as does video gaming as a hobby for those that enjoy it. Hobbies come in so many interesting shapes and sizes.
I heartily agree, Kara! Our forum is so much more than a q&a for birds.

I am not doing anything crafty right now. However, I am working on my dulcimer playing.
A year ago I got a custom made mountain dulcimer. My playing has improved since I have had it, and I enjoy it very much. I play traditional songs, primarily from the British Isles, including some tunes composed for the harp by Turlough O'Carolan, a blind Irish harper born in 1670.
The dulcimer is a four string instrument native to the Appalachian Mountains of the United States.
Here is a video I made in November 2013 of me playing "Red is the Rose", a traditonal Irish tune.

Diana, I'm so glad you posted this. How pretty! You play so nicely. I can understand why your birds enjoy you playing your dulcimer. Thanks for sharing!

One of the members of the "band" at my church plays this instrument also! I love the sound it makes! I loved your video. I enjoy listening to that a lot. It's very peaceful

I hope you will play more for us sometimes, Diana, and maybe you could aim the video at your fingers playing the dulcimer. I would like to see it.

Here's another little springtime dress I just finished today. Picture taken with my newly blossomed miniature daffodils. Spring is here!  |

Thanks, Diana. It's fun to play with color schemes with the changing seasons, and of course my inner child enjoys dressing my dollies and taking their pictures.
