I don't have any hobbies right now. Too much stuff to really do!

But I used to play like a gijjillion sports, swim team, soccer, softball, ballet, golf, gymnastics, etc My mom made me try everything for a year, and I liked soccer the most (11 years! and still no good). I used to help my mom make jewelry and stained glass too, til I moved out. I would foil and polish and arrange stuff with her. When I have a house I will probably do it myself too. I know her trade secret!

Hmmm....I mostly skip around to whatever strikes my mood. I collect things like rocks, old coins, etc. (Junk DH would say, I call them tresures!) I have tried some croceting, some cross stitching, sewing, reading, painting, etc. I don't have one real set hobby I guess.

Design...web design...lol, it's my profession but still a hobby.

I enjoy making bead jewelry.

I'm totally into artsy stuff - drawing, painting, sculpting. I don't have the money to get too much into that right now, though, lol.

I work out a lot...I guess that's a hobby.


Photography.

And now, volunteering with an animal shelter.

Well I garden quite a bit!!!
I read alot, and in the late fall and winter I will do crafts-I've done some beading, used to do lots of stamping, sewing stuff, painting stuff on wood. I took a kniting class but was taught right handed which was too hard for me but found a lady who does knitting for some of the national magazines and she will teach me how to knit left handed in exchange for weeding her teeny veg garden!!! And thinking of taking another welding class this fall too.
I forgot to add I make concrete hosta leaves and use other leaves. And I am taking in October a class on how to make brooms from broom corn!!

You don't need much money to do that!
Be creative with your materials!


I do a lot of artwork, knitting, gardening, visit car shows, photography, tattoo design....the list goes on!

Nuh uh...might give me away!
I love to read, but I've recently become a Pampered Chef consultant, so now that's my main hobby.


Hey, if your hobby gets you free stuff and money, isn't it worth it?

in a pile of open toed shoes!
In the winter I'm a big knitter.... I knitted all my sisters scarves last year for Christmas. I also make photo albums, really nice ones. I thought about selling them, but it would be too much $ for all that they cost. Like baby books & wedding albums....I go & pick the fabric myself. I also like to read books. I have really been contemplating taking a salsa class. I want to so badly, but Tom won't take it with me, and all my girlfriends are either pregnant, planning a wedding, or have a small baby... so if I do, I'd have to go at it alone...

I belong to two cat clubs - Wellington Cat Club and Pedigree Persian Cat Fanciers.

I am the Junior president for the WCC and a devoted comittee member of PPCF - this takes up a lot of my time.

Beautiful jewelry! I like to make jewelry also.
My hobby is my obsession... Genealogy! It's actually turned into my future career (hopefully) I'm starting classes this Summer to become an Archivist! I also am a seamstress and love to make period clothing, gowns, etc.

I want to start scrapbooking too!!! It looks like so much fun!

Currently, spinning, weaving, knitting and always gardening...I love flowers and perennials most. I have a "thing" with Madeline dolls' which have been discontinued, so I have been on eBay scouting out good finds.
I also love sailing and the original Mini car.
Gee, isn't everything not work related a hobby? I always think it would great to be paid doing a hobby, but then it would be work.
