What are your hobbies?

[areias]

Don't know if this has been done before, but here it is. A hobby thread!

Figured we could all get to know each other a little more. Anything really....just curious. Of course I think most of our hobbies are our animals but besides that...

I don't really have any major hobbies. I ride horses (probably the most expensive hobby ever!) I like to draw every now and then, I like to play around and make graphics on the computer. Watching baseball is probably a "secret" hobby of mine too (Go Red Sox!). And I like movies.

So, what is your hobby?

[Chilli]

My hobbies mainly consist of:
Dirtbiking, Drawing, Writing Music & Playing it, Learning German, Writing Poetry, & a wee bit of photography.

And lately.. I learned to crochet. n__n So I've been playing around with that.

I have always enjoyed the arts. I can usually be found drawing, writing, pixeling, etc.

I enjoy learning as weird as that may sound. Languages are a hobby. I like being outside, walking around, visiting with friends, etc.

I don't have a lot of spare time these days but when I do have some time to myself, I like to make graphics & sites, read, play my guitar, breed fish , take photos and shop! (That counts right? )

My biggest hobby is probably travel. I LOVE traveling. I've been to 46 out of 50 states, and 9 different countries.

I also love to go hiking and shopping and trying new places to eat- I especially like to try new desserts. Or having my husband make a nice meal for me.

I enjoy my pets, playing piano, and reading at home.

I'm afraid that most of my life, outside of work, is centered around the activities that our teenage children are involved in (especially sports) and our dogs. There are things that I enjoy doing, but simply don't have time to do, right now.

There will be time for me to look into other things in the future......too soon, actually. I want to learn to play golf (hope it isn't too late) and I would like to spend more time in my pet therapy opportunities.

I love to cook and try out new combinations of food that I think of myself it helps me unwind and if I need it I could spend the day in the kitchen (provided I don't have to clean the mess up afterwards that is what John is for), I also like to read, walk the dogs with my husband and go motor rallying (as a spectator)

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

I have a big time interest!!..... like I love motorcross/supercross! x-games type stuff .... Racing! but have never got a chance to be "involved" in them...

My only real hobby is modifying cars. I put a lot of money into my last car but had to trade it in when I got pregnant....



i miss her !!!!!!!

Now i have a larger 4 door car... and the only mods I'v done so far are new wheels and i've lowered it. One day (when i grow up ) I want a show car..... and not my everyday driver.. one that is just for show !!!

[borzoimom]

I love to show the dogs- addicted to dog shows you would say..
Other than that- I like to do cross stitch, latch hook rugs, and turn wood on my lathe.. ( yes- I said turn wood... lol..)

[Marigold2]

I love to garden. I start my seeds on 1.31 always. That takes up a lot of my spare time since I have huge flowerbeds. I like to cook, read, spend time with my pets, go to art shows, travel when possible, do crafts. And I have some great friends that I hang out with and do lots of fun things will.

[joycenalex]

i love to garden, i find it's relaxing to sit in the yard after a day and enjoy the color show, spring to fall, now it's damp and rather blah in this mild winter. i love to read and home improvements/remodeling is taking up alot of time. i love travel and will be taking a water color class soon.

Non animal related, I'd say my big hobby is costuming. I make costumes and wear them to conventions or other types of events (such as charities and visiting sick children in the hospital). I currently have 7 costumes.

I've always loved Halloween and dressing up and this way, I can pretty much dress up year round!

It's also a hobby that I met my husband through.

I used to do a lot of drawing and reading but have been in a bit of a funk lately. I have a lot of books on my shelves that I've never read and I'm trying to get back into it.

As for animal related hobbies, I occasionally help out with rescue transports which I really enjoy. I'd like to get involved in agility with Chipper eventually. We'll see.

Hobbies when I have time (and not at work) --

- I make a lot of crafts (pretty much anything - jewellery, wirework, stained glass, embroidery, polymer clay, wet and dry felting, sewing, etc.) - pretty much anything crafty I can do, i've got about 12-15 plastic totes filled with craft supplies in the basement.

- I collect rocks, and go mineral hunting to different dig sites when I can - handy having my mom and my cottage near Bancroft (good sites for minerals).

- Computer stuff and video games. Mostly RPG, some action, adventure and puzzle games - currently have a DS, Xbox, Xbox360, PS2, several PS1's, and going back the Super Nintendo, Nintendo, and a working Atari. I've always liked games since my dad brought home the Atari when i was about 4

[cmayer31]

My just for me hobbies are:
Hiking.
Photography.
Classic cars
Spending time in the desert with my dirtbike and truck.

A few years ago I was pretty serious about archery, tournament not hunting, but since moving I haven't really found an active group. I hope to be able to get back into it.

In the summer I catch wild adult birds with my bare hands and take 1 or 2 tail feathers from them, sounds kinda mean but I pull the feathers real fast so they don't feel anything, I then draw a photo of that birds breed, then use those real feathers for the tail. (I glue the feathers onto the painting).

I completly made this up and I think they look awsome, I usualy give them away for gifts then.

I also love, Soccer, Photography, Art, Helping wild birds and climbing tree's for baby birds in there nests, I can find at least 7 hidden bird nests in a day ... then I can go so close to the nests that I can actualy touch the baby birds but of course I don't ... I just snap a photo of them, as long as the parents are not around.

This summer I'll show you some amazing close ups of rare baby birds ^_^
