What other hobbies do you have?
#11
Where to start?! I am a beginner quilter and a beginning knitter. I'm an intermediate crocheter. I make my own cards (rubber stamps and other media). I love photography. I have 2 dogs and one of them is a trained Therapy Dog and we belong to Therapy Dog International. We visit the hospital, senior homes, and do special events. I love to shop, and spend time with friends. I have also dabbled in jewelry, and make rhythm beads for horses. I used to own a horse, but now we just have the 2 my gh owns. (they are mine too but I don't do anything with them)
I have many other things I'd love to try.....but for now, I'm keeping plenty busy!

Great subject, we are all so talented. Why waste it on one hobby. I quilt mostly now but I crochet, knit, play piano, paper quilling, scrap booking, soft dollmaker (some of pics in my PDA), one-stroke painting (thank you Donna Dewberry), if it is a craft I have tried it at least once and more if I liked it. And I have ceramics from when I dabbled in it, I garden, do woodworking with hubby. And always a reader of books and magazines.

I cross-stitch,crochet, knit[not so much] craft. I LOVE to dumpster dive[hehe] I like taking something and reventing it. I love to paint too. I was @ a Flea Mkt. but due to the economy business was down so I pulled out :cry: I live in a very rural area.

Quilting is my hobby - I'm a crochet designer by trade (been published in lots of magazines, online & on through my own site) although I do want to design more quilts! I have designed a few applique ones. I have too many ideas in my head!
I also garden, water garden, and play video games. I'm a kid at heart - likes to play in the dirt & then clean up and play video games lol.

I have had many hobbies also. I've knitted, crocheted,pierced lampshades, finished two embroidered quilts. Did a lot of oil painting and would like to get back to that. Of all of them, I think I like quilting the best. I love working in myh flower gardens and would love to work in a florist, but that probably won't happen. You name it, I've tried it.

It's funny you ask - I just told my husband I want to have $1000 a day to do what I want - after looking at so many craft blogs yesterday!! He laughed and said, "Will you take $1,000 each month?" I was ok with that - he said, "Ok, I'll just get a couple more jobs and never come home." I assured him I'd much rather have HIM than the money... I have cross stitched in the past and love it... I have tried scrapbooking, didn't like it so much. I do like making cards. Quilting/sewing is my all time favorite

Besides enjoying quilting/sewing, I raise and race Homing Pigeons. I also have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 3 horses and a cockatiel. Oh, and a red eared slider turtle who lives in a 125 gallon aquarium. I used to like spending alot of time outdoors but the past few years tend to be an insider. Can't take the heat and cold like I used to. I rarely get out in the winter except to take care of livestock, but in the summer I like to raise a few veggies. But I guess the hobby I spend the most time at is surfing the internet!

My main hobby now is quilting however I sing and play the piano and guitar. My husband, in an attempt to deter me from my quilting obsession, bought me a mandolin and a banjo so I am learning to play them as well. I love to go "junking" at local thrift stores and garage sales. I love hand embroidery and am working on a series of kitchen towels with snowmen on them for Christmas. One of my problems is that my favorite hobbies is to learn new things! That is how I caught the quilting bug.

I also crochet and scrapbook. I have a wonderful scrapbook of all my finished projects along with photos of my children, new babies, wedding couples and those who received quilts or afghans from me as gifts.
