Maybe I'll get inspired from some of you that have one common interest with

Other than cooking, jewelry making/beading, woodcarving and leathercraft.
I also really like making hook rugs and knitting.

Studying history is also interesting as is herbology, and scuba diving.
:-)

I'd really like to do more diving, and study more about marine mammals.
Native American and Ancient Celtic spirituality is also fascinating.

Hobbies don't have to be physical. <G>

Hobby Nr 1 is... cooking.
When I had more time, I used to sew. I recently saw a nice silk blouse
I made for my mother, it's gorgeous IIMSSM. And as I'm far from
model-size (no, not fat, just not the "right" boyish shape) I made
loads of dresses and skirts for myself that I loved.
Then if I had lots of time and money, I'd travel much more. Nice lazy
hedonist travel, with lots of great museums and restaurants :-)

My latest hobby is reloading my own ammunition. That's kind of like

I read.....I parent......I love to travel but with prices nowadays
that's a dwindling hobby! Also a big music fan and try to keep up with
new bands, both reading about them and listening to them live ort on
CD. I trade tapes & CDs of live shows, and I download music.

I have a brown thumb and don't garden (except for my herbs, which are
self-sufficient), I'm not artsy/crafty in the slightest and admire
those who are! and i'm not handy!

I love to cook, love to shop for cooking-related stuff (gourmet grocery
stores & farm markets; do those count as a hobby?), love to read
cooking books and magazines, spend far too much time on RFC. I love to
take long walks, to, especially with the puppy.

My daughter and my boyfriend scuba dive, and they keep trying to get me
to learn. I need to come up with the time and money to do so. I wish I
was more artistic - I like to do beadwork, and I'd love to learn to
knit/crochet, as well as other crafty stuff. But the thing I've always
wanted to learn was photography. I'd like to know how to use a real
good camera, lenses, settngs, etc, to take pics of nice landscapes,
nature stuff, etc. I took a few classes when I was a kid at summer camp
& etc, but back then it was more about darkroom skills, which don't
apply to the nice new digutals people have nowadays!!

If I had the time and money, I'd also love to sail. Again, kid summer
camp experience but as an adult, none. I've been kayaking a few times
but they get pricey to rent. Horses might come on that list as well.
And if I had the time, i'd learn more about wildflowers and wild foods.
I love those nature walks where you gather edibles and them make a
feast out of dandelions and sorrel!! Oh yeah, and I'd learn golf, too.
The kind with no windmills and pirate ships to shoot through.

So much I'd love to do - so little free time and spare money to learn
them. I look forward to my retirement in 30 years or so.....

Dee Dee,

My all-time favorite hobby is rowing a tin rowboat around the lake. I
manage about 5-6 miles a day during "rowing season (June to September).

Nothing like leaving the worries of the world behind and being out on the
water!!! Even if for only 2 or 3 hours a day.

Loading ammo is too precise, more an art, than hobby. Rowing, you can be
sloppy between strokes. Sexual innuendo? Perhaps. In any event...

http://www.tinypic.com/119qb7s.jpg

Now what would I WANT to do? Probably be an astronaut. My teachers always
said I took up space in school!

Made ya chuckle!!!

L,

Glad to hear your hobby!!! Have you done any calligraphy? I've eye-
witnessed journeymen with pen in hand. AWESOME!!!

I remember my first rapidograph although I can't remember the tip size
(00 comes to mind)! Did I "go to town" with that pen for drawing pictures
from my thoughts!!!

I won a 2nd (?) place ribbon at an "Art in the Park" contest when I was
about 7 years old. The prize: a "Paint by numbers" kit. THE BUMS!!! I can
take a hint, dammit! I still have it in a drawer.

SO WHAT if my drawing had a smudge of bubblegum on it!

All the best,

Hello Dee and all:

Most of my hobbies involve/involved 'making stuff and things'.
Cooking, gardening (tomatoes and peppers, mainly), machining, foundry,
some woodwork and carpentry, telescope making, pyrotechnics. Used to
own a VW bus but found I didn't have the time to give it justice.

Main hobby has been and still is building and flying rockets. Little
model rockets and big model rockets. My last big 'un was about 9'
tall, 40 lb, and flew to 6700 feet. (That's considered modest-sized
these days). Yes, I got it back intact. And you don't have to be a
rocket scientist....:-)

Quiltmaking! I should warn you, however, that there is risk involved
that quiltmaking will not remain a hobby and will take over your life.
There's a whole world of color and texture and technique waiting to be
explored. There's enough in traditional quiltmaking to last several
lifetimes, and when you get bored with that, expand into quiltmaking as
fabric art, and add embellishment, quilted jackets, dyeing and painting
your own fabric, abstract, landscape, portrait, everything to do with
art can be translated into fabric and hung on a wall. Quiltmaking
sometimes leads people to giant decorative kites and parachutes or
miniatures. There are books on quilting, internet groups, magazines,
local guilds, people to meet when you travel. There are shows to attend
and enter, workshops to take, celebrities to meet. (Quilt celebrities:
I'd rather meet Nancy Crow than Julia Roberts any day.) Collect
colorful fabric and thread (call it a stash); work by hand or machine.
Sell your work at museum consignment shops or donate to any of the
number of groups that keep home made quilts in hospitals and police cars.


Kids who land in emergency rooms are sometimes comforted by having
something special that's all theirs to hang on to when medical
procedures are done. Kids who have just watched Daddy beat Mommy to a
bloody pulp are sometimes found cowering in the closet when the police
arrive. The police can take nothing from the crime scene when
delivering the kids to emergency foster care and like to have something
they can give away that the kids can hang on to. In both cases, the
police and hospital workers need a supply of quilts that are cozy,
colorful and unique, something that they can give away at their
discretion and not worry about getting back. There are quilt making
groups all over the country that supply hospitals and police.

Reloading is a hobby of my husband's (in a previous life he was a gun smith)
and it can definitely be food related! He "borrowed" my colander for
rinsing bullets or something and turned our ice cream maker into a bullet
polisher.

My hobbies have evolved over the course of 45 years. For the first
lot, I knitted and crocheted. Then got interested in making
miniatures. I took up cross-stitching in 89 and 3 years ago took up
making beaded jewelry and beadweaving. I gave up the beading because I
had accumulated too many pieces and sales at craft shows were abysmal.
Currently I'm collecting recipes and doing more cooking, but looking to
go back to stitching. All along, I've been a reader and volunteer a day
a week at our local, branch library.... DH is happy with the cooking
hobby. .....Whew.....I'm tired just thinking about it.

How about writing complaint letters to food manufacturers?

I've gotten coupons worth lots of free stuff that way!
I'd say that about 90% of complaint letters result in
some coupons -- and not some paltry 15 cents off coupons,
more like a FREE whole one of whatever it was.

Almost anything you can buy has something you can complain
about. It was too salty, it was too sweet, it had a stale
aroma, when I followed the directions on the package it
turned out way undercooked or burnt.

Unlike other hobbies like anything involving plants or
animals, it doesn't require a fixed schedule of maintenance.
You can indulge in it any old time, and can neglect it
whenever it is inconvenient.

Weaving. The only drawback is that looms are expensive! Ditto with
spinning wheels for spinning.

There's always crocheting though...hooks are much cheaper than looms.

Poor Andy! My mom wants to skydive, too. She tried to convince me to do it
with her (we'd both be tandem with instructors). I informed her that while
I am perfectly willing to *fly* the plane (God willing, someday I *will* get
my license!) I refuse to jump out of it. Unless, of course, it's crashing.

I've done some native american beading, either sewing a strand of beads
in place in a pattern, or doing the loomwork in flat bands...

but most of my beading is gemstone-type work on sterling wire, or strung
necklaces. I like to play with the victorian style stuff and also do
rosaries:

My #1 favorite hobby/love tho' is still doing wire wrap and wire
sculpture. This is done in sterling on a piece of tumbled Labradorite:

I'm totally grooving with my inner old lady.
I crochet. I do a lot of lace work, I also follow lace patterns using regular
yarn and make scarves for my friends.

I've also been designing my own bags for the yarn shop up the street.
http://velvet-c.com/images/display1.jpg

I've been crocheting since I was 6 or 7 and I love it. I learned how to knit a
couple years ago but I pretty much just knit in the round and make felted
bags.

(also, I drive my old lady car and I'm teaching myself to make jam and mustard
and I'm thinking about getting a cane so I can hit people with it)

oh but the yarn....
I can sink $50-$70 worth of yarn into one purse, $15-$30 for a lace scarf.
My crochet hobby is killer on my bank account and I'm one of the lucky ones
because I get free yarn in exchange for projects (she gives me the yarn to
make something, then she keeps the item for display and gives me the
equivilent amount of yarn to keep)

I used to be a potter - and had my own business. I made decorative and
functional pieces - mainly gardenware like birdbaths and birdhouses. I
also did a lot of Raku which is a ton of fun if you have never done it.

Of one of the famous martial arts instructors in California was asked by a
50 year old non-sportive, non-active man in good health and mentally fit, if
the instructor could help him become proficient in martial arts. The
martial arts instructor said that a 50 year old man could attain a black
belt in 2 years. Would you agree? in a general sense?

Lisa Ann,

At least your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device!???

Ages ago, a friend took me up in a single engine Beechcraft over Santa
Cruz, CA. He suddenly took his hands and feet off the controls and told
me to fly the plane! I managed some smooth, shallow dip/turns and climbs.
Then he resumed control and went bizzerk and did a zero-gravity stunt.
Almost puked. THE BUM!!!

Loved every minute!

Call me after you get your license! I'll sponsor a flight!!!

All the best,

Andy

Okay, I don't think this one has been mentioned yet.

I make wine, from concentrate and from crushing fresh fruit. It's not
terribly labor intensive, all things considered. The first day is busy, and
for the first week you need about an hour a day. For the rest of the month,
maybe an hour every two or three days, if that. Then you wait for months at
a time with only an hour or two of labor. Then bottling day is extremely
busy. Then the busiest time of all... drinking the 25 bottles of wine you
just finished!

To tell the truth, out of a 5-gallon batch (20-25 bottles), I give away 15+
as gifts. Talk about a unique gift!

This is the most enjoyable hobby I've ever had... it must be, because I've
spent ten years at it.

I love junk. If it is free on the curb even better. I go to garage sales in
our area and buy old furniture or picture frames and paint them. I have a
collection of jewelry boxes that I have painted. I like the shabby-chic look
which is good because that is mostly how they end up.
