I, too, really find that the "captcha" format is annoying and difficult to use, and often prevents me from leaving comments elsewhere.

I love it that you're considering a craft. When I was younger, my dad used to build model airplanes - not the plastic snap-together kit kind, but the kind where you bought balsa wood sheets and transferred patterns and cut it out with an X-acto knife and painstakingly glued all the tiny little wing struts together -- I used to love watching him work. He'd be so absorbed and intent - it made his face so beautiful. If you DO build birdhouses, I hope you post lots and lots of pictures! I love birdhouses! I love it that you’re considering a craft.
