Chele

A creative and talented bunch for sure! It was great to read of all the varied hobbies and interests. We could all teach each other so much!

Besides quilting and sewing, I enjoy cooking, grilling, baking, trying new art mediums, reading blogs for inspiration, antiques, and keeping teenagers in line. It's all fun, and I enjoy every minute of it.

It is totally amazing how many hobbies some of you have. Some of those really take time and talent to perfect. I like what chele said, we could teach each other some great skills. It would be fun to get together and have a show and tell... Huh? Wow! From what I have seen on the board, it would really be something to remember.

Tippy

I enjoy most textile crafts, especially making dolls and teddy bears, and I know how to do most needle crafts, though there's not time enough to do everything.. I enjoy SCUBA diving, but am landlocked now.. same goes for sailing.. had to get rid of my kayaks and hobiecat when I moved. I love riding my motorcycle and I'm in the process of renovating a '72 VW bug and rebuilding the engine in my '64 Meyers Manx, I love cooking, reading and am going to try my hand at gem mining and gold panning this summer. I also like Tai Chi and TaeKwonDo. although have pretty much quit the latter.. I'm gettin old y'all......oh, and I'm an incurable collector. I've had my own radio show in the past and done a fair amount of community theatre... I'm telling you there are not enough hours in the day...lol..

Boston1954

I have written 199 poems and also I love photography. Two of my husband's younger brothers have said that I could make my living at it.
I also like blue glassware but have to be selective about what I get as I do not have much room here.

Fly fishing and fly tying
Hunting

Bike riding
Hiking

See?? This group of ladies is so multi-talented!!! WOW! I never realized what some of you all can do when I posted this thread. It is beyond my understanding how some of these hobby's came to being in your lives. Kudo's to you all for stepping up the pace.

I think being creative and working with your hands translates well to other mediums, once you can work well with your hands with one thing, it is easier to pick up other things. There is a lot of photographers in the group, might make it easier to find and want to capture the beauty we see.

The odds are that we would try and do a lot more if we had the time. I need to have two or three of me running around just to do half of what I want to do.
