What’s your pre-building routine?

Do you have a pre-building routine?

I usually do my crafting/building in the mornings. I’d make a cup of coffee, do my morning prayer, check emails/do business stuff, play with the dogs, go to my hobby room and pull out some of my past projects to display on the windowsill right in front of my workbench, then I start crafting.

I love to do the last part as a way to appreciate my builds and all the hard work that I put into them while building something complex, like the Seahorse Barque.

Share your pre-building routine. Thanks all!

Cute builds! No routine for me, I build when I have the time :blush: I have many other hobbies so I tend to swap my time up for whichever one needs the most work done :heart_hands: Great question!

Oh whoa, when I see this setup I’m in awe!

No routine for me, I’m doing this like an heretic, me on the carpet, the pieces on the wooden floor next to me, and just… full on “let’s go” XD

Beautiful crafting station :star_struck: I’m really jealous of the train booknook. It is amazing! (Still super expensive xD)

You have a nice routine. I never build in the morning, im oposite to you. Mostly late afternoon and through the night. This is my best time for creation. I’m more night active. But for sure you have a better daylight :wink:

You have a beautiful collection, and the view is amazing :star_struck: Since I build at the dining table, I always have to get all the supplies out. I grab the paint I need and wet a sponge under the tap, and then I can start building :smiling_face:

I really love your hobby corner :heart_eyes: it’s so relaxing and that view is amazing!

I don’t have a routine though because I tend to my kids the whole day, especially on school days. I only get to work on a build once they are asleep.

Great work. Enjoy that special routine time.
I don’t really have a set routine. My work schedule and university classes keep me quite busy, so whenever I have free time, I take advantage of it and build as many projects as I can. The only thing that makes me sad is that I cannot participate in all the events and special activities that come up in this group.
Time is always the challenge.

I love all the Nanci plushies!!! I have to say the Seahorse Barque is fun to build. I’m not as talented as all of you guys, but I love being inspired.
