Photography and backpacking.

Ron

Don't laugh but my newest hobby is my compost pile!
I love turning my vegetable kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, leaves and shredded paper into great soil.

I play alot of golf.

I love to knit and crochet, but I rarely need anything for myself. So I stay alert for new babies and ZAP! I gift them! I knit or crochet layette items for them. I especially like to make sweaters, booties and trim diaper burp cloths for babies, but I also make hats and afghans. Baby items are finished rather quickly because of the size, and people are always amazed that it is possible to make something so nice. There is not much to knitting or crocheting as there are really just a couple of stitches. Learning to do either is really a case of practicing enough to get past that awkward stage.

I love crafts of any kind...my favorite is tole painting but in the last few years I haven't had time to do any of it. I am looking forward to getting back into it soon. I also love to read, garden (planting... no weeding!) I crochet and scrapbook also.

I like to sew and am trying to learn more about computer graphics.

I am a quilter...and addicted to it. I started quilting in 2002, and have made more than 100 quilts to date.

I read every day. I can spend hours in a bookstore to choose one book. The library is even more fun b/c I can pick as many as I can carry. ;o)

I play my flute once or twice/week. The deep breathing it requires is very good for reducing stress both physically and emotionally. It also reminds me of who I was before I "grew up."

And once in a while I get the urge to sew something simple. Something I can finish in a day or two in between parenting duties.

Scrapbooking!!! Love it...when I have time.

Gardening and collecting junk. Especially garden junk.

Too many hobbies! The main one is gardening, followed by photography then computer graphics. I also do metal smithing and glass bead making. I grew up doing all the different "woman arts" like knitting, crocheting, embroidery, and sewing which I still do once and awhile. Would canning and preserving be considered a hobby? And I am always trying something new like soap and candle making.

I cross stitch mostly, but like my garden as well, and trying to make a few decorations to put in it. For the garden part its trying to find pretty, local, and free/nearly free plants, anyone want to trade?

Photography and geocaching.

Photography, scrapbooking, gardening, reading and playing the piano. Just not enough hours in the day to get them all in.

Like Clare, I sometimes think I have too many interests. Photography and gardening are big ones. I dabble in genealogy. I don't sew and embroider and quilt like I used to. But I've gotten back to rug hooking and am loving it. I started doing decorative painting last winter and want to get better at it.

I'm a writer, so I suppose writing-related activities, like my blogs and critique group, can't be considered hobbies.

I have two hobbies. 1. spoiling my daughter rotten and 2. crafting. I do many kinds of crafts but am highly addicted to cardmaking. I do a lot of sewing crafts. After my 4th annual crafters get-together that I am hosting in mid-June, I must get two rag dolls made for my daughter, then I can get back to cardmaking. The Cuttlebug and Cricut sure make it fun cardmaking.

I do some scrapbooking and like to do trash to treasure type projects (you can get lots of ideas from the T to T forum and Garden Junk forums here).

Gardening, canning (yes, I consider that a hobby, too LOL), sewing, and photography.

We have a wonderful 20'x30' vegetable garden and a nice size herb garden. I dry our herbs and put up alot of our vegetables for the cold months, like beans, carrots, squash, pumpkin, pickles, tomatoes and snow peas. We also cold store over our crop of potatoes. This year we're hoping our crop yields enough to last us through at least next April.

Living!

Hand embroidery, stitchery and reading!

Lots of hobbies. I used to knit a lot, I made sweaters and afghans. Now I do only quickie projects, like scarves and hand-knit washcloths. I used to do embroidery, both cross stitch and regular. I learned to tat, but I haven't done it in years. I am dyslexic about crochet, just can't get the hang of it, other than simple chain stitch. I read and watch TV a lot. And I spend hours on the Internet. In July I'm taking a class to sell stuff on Ebay.

I enjoy growing flowers. Weeding not so much. Guess what one person would call a hobby another would call it WORK.

You may want to take a course on something. I have been collecting pine needles to start basket weaving. There is going to be a one day seminar near me soon.

I love Gourd Art also, but need to grow my own.

Check your local Community College for Leisure Courses. Usually Calligraphy, Watercolor, and Language Classes.

There are Dinner Groups, Movie Groups and Travel Groups for getogethers.

Currently I still make beaded jewelry and have for about 9 years.

Gardening, reading, counted cross stitch, embroidery, sewing, organizing, the KT (that's a hobby right?)

I am a political junkie and, this being election year, has taken up a lot of my time. I also like to garden (plant but not weed). I am also a quilter. I also enjoy volunteer work such as tying fleece quilts with a group at church and helping out at the county dental clinic.

I like gardening (don't even mind the weeding if I don't get too far behind), walking, quilting. Sometimes I knit.

I love gardening. I like to propagate plants, and I, too, have a compost pile. You're right, Carol, they are fun! I also read voraciously and am in a book group that's fun. I love to "antique" although I don't buy much any more. I love to travel. I spend a lot of time w/ grandchildren, but that's not a hobby, it's a life style!! And of course, I spend more hours a day than I'd like to admit on this computer.

I started in photography when I started high school wow I didn't realize it has been 70 years. I have done a lot of sewing, knitting and crochet.For a while I was making things using my scroll saw.
I can't do much anymore. I do crochet and knit some.
I do enjoy lurking with my KT friends, and sometimes posting. OK who's next?.

I enjoy sewing and machine embroidery. I used to love counted cross stitch but eyes cannot do it anymore,
I aslo like to use my saw to make different items but I have not done this for awhile and I want to get back into it.
Really any thing I can get my hands into, I like to cook and bake also.

I love to knit and crochet and feel cheated if I don't get to stitch for at least a few minutes each day. My favorite people to stitch for are babies (like SheilaJoyce), and my "signature" items are circular and star shaped baby blankets. And I love to make socks.

I also love to garden, mostly vegetables with a few pretties scattered among the edibles.

Quilting, cross stitching, crocheting and reading...Always have to have something in my hands....

Quilting - it's kinda an obsession almost now with me - you could probably just sign my name to wanda va's post - also love gardening and reading.

My first hobby is growing and propagating tropical plants, then acrylic and watercolor painting, then walking my dog, plus I read a lot.

I knit, weave baskets, travel (Can you tell?!) I used to tole paint and do some wood cutting on the scroll saw, but not much anymore. Camp. Geneology. Read romance, especially regency.

Clare, I wish you lived close to me to teach me how to make the glass beads. I have everything I need, I just need to get doing!
