Hobbies

What are your favorite hobbies?
I like to write stories. I haven't published anything. Maybe someday. I also like to do ceramics. I haven't done them in a long time but pretty soon, I will start doing them again.

Really? you like to write? me too? though like you not published (yet - here`s hoping anyway), i write short stories, and poetry too, not sure if i am any good, but i love doing it

I also love to read and am completely addicted to cross stitch too, it is especailly good here in Montreal, when we are about to be covered in snow for months on end!!! Not something that ever happened to me in New Zealand. Where i had a lot of animals and spent as long as i could outside.

Talk to you again

I love reading, gardening, hiking in the woods & cooking

I also love to cross stitch, which can be a challenge when the cats are in a playful mood. I have just starting growing plants, mostly herbs. I also enjoy reading and yoga.

Crossword puzzles........
limited gardening and working around the house on projects.

I like cooking, reading, working on the computer, crafts, and doing stuff with the kids like board games or coloring. I also enjoy house projects ( with hubby's help ), and working in the yard.

Lets see.... my hobbies.... well, I love to sing, and often get asked to sing for weddings, etc. and also I love houseplants, if you can call that a hobby, and I collect Boyd's Bears, and I love horror movies/books, and cooking.

Oh, and of course the computer is my hobby, but I rather like to refer to it as my family.....

writing, scrimshaw, cooking, embroidery, reading, gardening and working with my horse.

hissy, I wish I still had my horses! I miss them terribly. I had to sell them. (Divorce... long story, don't ask!)

My hobbies are: skiing, Jeeping, hiking, reading, watching football (american football - the kind they have to wear padding to play!), writing (there sure are a lot of writers here!), my pets, crocheting, and cooking. I wish I had more time to do all of that.

reading, painting pottery, watching movies, shopping, and I've been cooking more and more lately, and really starting to enjoy it.

Here is my pride and joy- my 4 year old Mustang-cross having a ghostly encounter with a balloon

1. reading- mostly horror or fantasy (anne rice & JRR tolkein)
2. plants- orchids, cactus, (exotics)
3. making jewelry- southwestern, hemp, beaded
4. cooking- again I love exotic stuff (Thai, Japanese, creole)

It's neat to read about everyone's hobbies. Hissy you do scimshaw? Can you post pics of your work; I love scrimshaw.

I love cross stitch and reading (though I don't get to do a lot of reading lately).

I see that there are a lot of writers here - please feel free to post your cat related work in the literary forum - that's why it's there!

As for Hissy's wonderful scrimshaw - you can have a look here:

Cat.....you are making me tired!
Hissy....your work is absolutely gorgeous!

Lots of independent hobbies out there...

Mine are reading, gaming, and collecting books (mostly s/f, fanstasy, military history, medieval history, and anything else that looks fascinating). Though I have more than a few ideas worth writing up, they have yet to leave the idea stage...

With all these readers on the board, we should start a book club...

And thanks Debra, I love doing scrim it relaxes me. Those are pieces I did years ago, my latest work is much better. =)
