What else do you do as a hobby?


angieh's post about family history got me thinking about what other hobbies/interests and pastimes we have. Thought it would be good to see what else we have in common.

so, in no particular order
  • cross stitch
  • tapestry
  • quilting
  • drawing
  • painting
  • scrap booking
  • dog obedience and agility
  • photography
  • gardening
  • family history research
  • reading
  • writing poems
  • riding

and of course just being with my cats, dogs, sheep and horse.

What do you all get up to?

Erm not a lot really!
In my spare time I just come on the computer looking at Youtube (you can get sooo carried away on that site!) and [Sys edit: Contains pet forums] etc or play on my Nintendo DS or computer games lol.
You wouldnt think I was 25, I act more like a teen lol.

Re: What else do you do as a hobby?


What an excellent idea for a thread! I'd pick reading as number one, gardening as second .....I'm interested in iris hybridizing .... can't say photography as I just really do cat pics and flower shots in a very amateur and unskilled way. Quite a few years back I'd have added needlepoint and crewel embroidery have let that lapse since I've gotten on line. Too much to do, so little time!

Re: What else do you do as a hobby?


Phew - wish I had time spare in which to indulge hobbies; however:
  1. Fledgling allotment gardener
  2. Reading - usually not more than a couple of pages a night though
And that, I'm afraid, is about it !!

Re: What else do you do as a hobby?


A great post! I find myself with not much spare time but I guess my hobbies are:

- Going to the gym / getting fit
- Dancing (Samba, Salsa, Latin, Belly Dance. Soon to be Ballet).
- Reading! Lots of reading. (An English Lit. graduate!)
- I hate to say it, but shopping. Not in a consumerist way but I do enjoy scouring shops for good bargains and love creating my own eclectic style (not a dedicated follower of fashion.)
- The cats! but of course.
- I would like to say painting and writing, as these are things I'm good at and enjoy but really rarely have time for.
- Guitar playing.
- Piano playing. Although only when at home with my dad where my piano is!
