:shock: Wow some of these hobbies are wonderful. It say's a lot about us that we like to do so much with our time. Life is so much more interesting when art is a big part of it. I really think that quilting falls in the art catagory, don't you?

I love all the homey things we choose to do. In a world that has lost the drive to make things instead of buy them, it really say's I can make my world better and I don't mind a little work that is involved with it. Huh?

I used to love going to school and learning. But at this stage of my life, I just want to enjoy home and family. Not that I don't learn all the time, but it is not a big priority like it used to be.

I tried using a bb gun once - that's the closest to a gun I've ever gotten.

Are kids classified as a hobby? They seem to multiply around here

Garden, both flower and veg
bake
crochet
machine embroidery
guitar hero
read
taking pictures
wood working
scrapbook
paint things
bead work
computer
quad and dunebuggies

I do play with weapons in the back yard with the family, I have yet to shoot the new shotgun and my fav thing to play with the sling shot, though the kids recently found they work great with paintballs.

hmm well the most obvious to start...

Quilting/Sewing

Scrapbooking (been away from it for 1 1/2 years.. can't wait to get started at it again once I get my sewing/scrapbook studio room set up.... it's getting there!!

Cooking/Baking and experimenting in the kitchen, collecting recipes

Reading

Movies

Lately lots of house renos.... hee hee the joys of being a new homeowner!!!

and soon.. hopefully very soon like this weekend, walking my new dog!!! I just need to get him/her!!! Waiting on two phone calls about 2 dogs. Whichever phone call I get first is the winner!!!
