What's your hobby?

katielv · Aug 10, 2005

I don't know if it's a hobby but I enjoy antique hunting. I go to local flea markets, thrift stores, auctions and garage sales. Last month a bought a bottle at the auction that nobody wanted for $1. Turns out it's worth $15. But I don't sell anything, it just gives me a thrill to know that I bought smth that is worth more than I paid for it.

Cross stitching, building websites and making computer graphics (trying to make that not so much a hobby but a profession

or at least a supplemental profession), competitive rifle shooting. I think that about covers it.

I love so many creative things, but mostly, I am an artist(pencil, pastel, colored pencil)
I love to refinish furniture..it's my lastest thing. I also like to peice quilts, mess with my plants, read, spend time on the computer & heavily get into football during the season.

Geez, were like 2 peas in a pod on the hobby front!, what type of camera do you use for your photography??

I have a film camera that I rarely use since I got my digital one. The film camera is a Canon AE1. The digital camera is an Olympus 560. It's more or less a point and shot camera. I'd really like to have a better digital camera that's equivalent to my Canon AE1 but the ones I'm interested in are not cheap. I have my eye on the Canon Pro Shot 1 or the Nikon D70.

That's going to be some pretty intense scrapbooking!

Do you tend to use patterns, like Creative memories, or just do your own thing?

That's so funny that you mention getting married and having kids and getting a bit out of hand with the scrapbooking, as someone in my family JUST made a comment about that last week! They were talking about how there won't be a single moment in my child's life (literally) that's not documented somewhere!

They're probably right too!

I tend to do my own thing. I don't have a chance to get pick up new scrapbooking materials very often so I make the most out of what I have. I usually get ideas about how I want to do pages, then if I have the money I'll head to the scrapbook store and pick out the background, adhesives, frames, whatever to go perfectly with it! How about you? What kind of scrapbooking do you like to do?

Of course that counts! Really anything that you enjoy doing that passes time and isn't your "job" counts as a hobby! Heck, sometimes it could even be work if you happened to get a job that incorporates your favorite pasttimes!

I also enjoy scrapbooking. I'm making an Army one for DH currently.

I'm almost done his Germany section. We're going to get some pictures of here in KY and I'm going to do an Iraq section for him next. He's going to send home pictures while he is there and I'll work on it while he is away. It might help me feel closer to him.

I also crochet, read, bake, cook, cake decorate... ummmm.... play sims

I'm going to be going back to the gym finally. I also really like make up (not in a weird vain way) and I like organizing it by color..... yeah I'm a dork.

AbbysMom · Aug 10, 2005

I like photography, scrapbooking, gardening and I used to cross stitch a lot, but haven't done it in a while. I love to read and lately I have slowly been decorating our new house (as time and money permit

) Oh yea - I like cooking also!

cyber cat · Aug 10, 2005

I like working on Latch Hook Designs, Puzzles, and restoring old photos

crazybash · Aug 10, 2005

My hobby is reading this forum and answering and asking question and playing on pogo

gailc · Aug 11, 2005

Well gardening (all types) is my biggest hobby and soon to be my profession!!
I just took a knitting class last week so I have to really practice that. I also like to paint but its the painting where you but the books and transfer the pattern into wood, fabric and then "paint". I use to cross stitch alot and do stamping stuff.
I like to sew and embroider esp pillows, or stuff for halloween and christmas.
I "make" concrete hosta leaves or sometimes use other types of leaves too.
And last yr learned how to weld and will pursue that a bit more. I would like to supplement my landscaping with making funky "yard art".
Once I fix my computer probs w/my camera I'll post examples.

I really enjoy spending time with my husband, reading, and working out. Actually, often times I get to combine my hobbies. For example, right now my husband and I are reading The Chronicles of Narnia together. We also workout together a few times a week.

eilcon · Aug 11, 2005

I love to read, spend time outside (especially hiking), cook and play with my nieces and nephews ages, 10, 5, 16 months and 6 months.

They are crocheting and knitting, though I crochet much more than I knit.

What's yours?

I love crocheting and although I knit I prefer crochet. I actually won first prize for a cotton turquoise sweater that I knit in our local fall fair.

I also LOVE golf.

Well, I spend a lot of time on the computer. I'm always looking up info on better ways to care for my pets. And if I get the idea of wanting a new pet that isn't a dog or cat, I look up info on them to see if I still want one! Haven't gotten anything new yet, but I'm thinking hard about firebelly toads :-)
I also like to just be outside. I have a garden this year, and although the tomatoes and sunflowers are the only things that did well, I'm enjoying that and working on how to make it better next year.
I used to read a lot, but I don't get much time for that. If I try to sit on the couch and read, my 3 year old won't leave me alone!
I also have a passion for horses, but don't have any right now, and can't afford gas to go anywhere to ride! Gas is way too expensive!
That about does it for me. I have a lot of other things I do, but I don't consider them hobbies, more of necessity (home repairs, etc).
