I've done all the hobbies that I've wanted to in my life. I can't think of
one more thing that I want to do.
What are your hobbies, and what do you want to do that you've never done
yet -- hobbies, mind you.

Maybe I'll get inspired from some of you that have one common interest with
me; cooking!
Thanks,
Dee Dee

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>

What kind of beading? My favourite is beadweaving and pattern
weaving. I'm not knowledgeable about the names of patterns, since I
basically follow instructions in books.....Sharon

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:

Beautiful work Katra. I love the Swarovski Rosary. I've done some
stringing too, mostly with beads I've had for many years, but haven't
tried wire work. I like loom work too, but mostly enjoy pattern work
with seed beads. I did pretty well my first season of craft shows, but
the last two seasons all I heard was "beautiful work" as people pass by
my booth and buy something else from another booth. I tried new
patterns and designs, but people just weren't buying. Right now I'm in
the process of packing away my beads and equipment for a spell. I may
try again in a year or two. I have many pieces left and may look for a
store that will take them on consignment......Sharon

If you ever start playing with link work on wire instead of stringing,
you'll be hooked. <G> It's so much more versatile. Takes bit of
practice to make links at first (like making rosaries) but once you have
it down, it's not too bad. I can knock out a full rosary now in about 90
minutes if I have no distractions. 20 guage 1/2 hard sterling is my
preferred wire, and beads from China have more reliable drill holes than
the ones from India.

I've seen some _amazing_ work with seed bead "embroidery". Gorgeous
stuff!

I've not done much lately either. I used to list weekly on ebay but now
only list once per month. I used to gross between $200.00 and $300.00
per week on ebay sales running 60 to 80 auctions, but that dropped to
about $50.00 each week this year. At that rate, with ebay and paypal
fees, I was not even breaking even. :-(

I'll pack it in for awhile and maybe start designing again after the
next election and hope that the results restore faith in the economy.
If everyone elses budget is suddenly as tight as mine has become, it's
no wonder people are not shopping much anymore...

I'm going to give up on ebay and give Craigs list a try.

This is part of why I can't ever see myself selling my knitting.
People tell me all the time that "You could make a lot of money selling
that," but I'd have to pay myself under minimum wage to sell, unless I
got connected with an upscale boutique. Then, I'd hate to have to do
production work, and deadline work and deal with people who decide they
don't want it at the last minute. I'd rather give it away for free and
knit what I like for people I like than turn it into a job.

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 :-)

Heh, I'm hooked. The best I've found is:

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.

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!!!

Try running around naked in the back country in the winter!!! Take a

then go out in below 32 F. in the snow for awhile.

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?
Thanks,

Depends on the 50 year old man. Few really attain a black belt in 2 years.

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.

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

Andy, my dad came home from WWII and decided he wanted to take flying
lessons. He took me up at his insistence. He did every puke-evoking maneuver
in the book. It worked. He didn't insist again.

There is a skydiving school about 10 miles form here. They lose one every year
or two.
It's surprising that some people actually survive a jump where the chute doesn't
open properly.

Dave,

Skydiving school?? Is that a pass/fail course?

Either I'm gonna float to the ground or die on the way down.

School... bullsh*t.

We lost a first time tandem jump woman over the weekend. She "slipped"
(?????) out of the harness when the chute opened. NO FAULT of the
"experienced" jump instructor!!!! YEAH RIGHT!

When I get sky high and am going to jump out of a perfectly good
airplane, I'm not going to be teathered to an idiot with badges!

Imho,

Andy

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....:-)

Just wondering, are you from Ohio?
I only ask because it seems to me that there are some famous rocketeers from
that area -- I know nothing about it, just an impression.

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.

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.
