My other hobbies are genealogy and reading. I also enjoy riding around and going to car shows with my husband in one of our antique cars. Lots of good times.

That is pretty cool, I have never heard of anyone collecting pencils, but it is incredibly fascinating to hear about!

I knit and crochet as well, scrapbook, and I love just about anything creative. I garden and collect seeds, you will sometimes find me involved in seed swaps which are really fun. I also love antiques and collect McCoy pottery, sewing antiques and vintage linens I find.

That is kind of funny, kids love to do things like that don't they? Geeze. LOL* Good that the teachers caught on though. ;)

In the winter I do basket weaving, during the spring and summer I love being in the garden. Quilting comes in at all times of the year.

I play the violin and play in chamber music groups and local orchestras. I love to travel and have been to Japan, Australia, Peru, El Salvador, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Belgium and 26 of the 50 states. My goal is to visit all 50 and a few more abroad as long as I am able!

I love to go fishing with my DH. I learned to fish when I was just a tiny girl and Dad took all of us to Lake Michigan to fish from the North Pier. I read, do swedish weaving, embroidery, make cloth dolls and stuffed animals. I enjoy taking nature pictures. Going for long walks on the beach with my DH is a favorite.

I collect Dietz Oil Lanterns. We display them on top of our cabinets and along our living room ceiling. They are getting hard to find, esp one in its original condition, the older looking the better.
But I love to quilt, tried knitting, eyes can't do it anymore. Love to garden.
