Hobbies & Crafts - March 2007

I need ideas for a new hobby. I go to college and I work so I need something to get my mind off the real world in the time I have at home. Usually I just play video games, but that is starting to get old for me, and my very limited budget is making it hard to buy new video games. Here are the basic requierments of what I'm looking for:
-I want something that doesn't feel like I'm doing homework.(So don't suggest learning a new language please lol)
-I want something that can be done on a shoe-string budget.(So collecting anything is out of the question)
-I don't have much dexterity. So that limits the amount of physical skills that I can work on.(Don't suggest juggling)
-I don't like working out. I don't find it fun at all.

A friend of mine is a pupeteer and she likes to make her puppets using objects you can find around the house. One of the puppets that's being made right now is a cyclops and needs some kind of round or semi circular white and somewhat shiny object for his eye. She says, "It needs to be plastic, shiny, convex,not TOO flat, and about the size of if you made an 'OK' sign with your fingers--the inside of that 'O'."
Any ideas would be really appreciated! Thanks!

HELP please.....
I just recently moved back on my own and I have a nice size 1bedroom house that I rent . I can do pretty much what I want to in it as long as I don't destroy it. I live on 623.00 a month & 505.00 goes to bills ect. so there is not a lot of extra money for extras to decorate.
I am usually crafty & creative, but I really want something different that is fun & funky.
I DO NOT want the "norm' but not to extreme. It's my home & I would like to have a place that picks up my spirits not depress me.

I need to attend a very important summer event in July, and will be wearing a white Yukata (summer kimono), I need to know where to buy large sheet of white good textured cloth online or otherwise. I'll be sewing patterns and decorate it with floral and butterfly and leaf pattern, and perhaps will have to either buy or make an Obi to match.

PS: I'm not buying kimono online, I just need to know where to buy the fabric, please provide some helpful information.

I'm making a miniture boat for science class

Can be made with anything but its a contest to see which one holds the most weight.

Nowhere on the boat can it be longer than a dollar bill and it can only have the height(thickness) of a quarter
Any special ideas that noone will think of?
i.e. soaking wood in oil, spreading the weight out like a waterbug.
what's a very bouyant house-hold substance that noone will think of??

I've always been an activist of Separation of Church and State, and I was happy when I found out about these coin errors. Does anybody have one they could sell me? I've been wanting one for a while, and I'd really appreciate it. I've looked everywhere: banks, post offices, stores. I even bought two $25 rolls but no one has one. If I could get one, we can work out a deal. I don't want to pay $50 for one like on eBay, but I do want one....Anyone out there that can grant my wish?

Thanks!

I am asking this question again because a lot of people mis-understood me. I am not talking about the coin with no writting on the edge, those are selling for $300-600 on eBay. I am wondering about the upside down writting. They are selling for $20-$50 but they down't seem that rare, alothough they must be if they are selling for that much. Just skeptical because I went to the bank and bought 2 rolls and 32 out of 50 coins had the upside down print? Does anyone know any extra details?
