I do wood carving, Bas relief,(The cigar box) in the round and intarsia( the issue holder) I also make canes. I crochet, paint and garden. I can sew and quilt..but that's too fussy to do with glasses anymore.
My newest hobby is vaping and chatting here.

Love travel. Any travel, well not any travel. I prefer running water and pillows.

Ditto. My definition of "roughing it" is a hotel without 24-hour room service.

Like Joyce, I used to travel a great deal for my job. My very favorite "vacation destination" was HOME. Now that I am ill (semi-invalid), I can think of myself as "on vacation" all the time!:laugh:

My other life-time love was reading, although that's now a bit problematic due to brain fog/mental exhaustion issues.

I used to love cooking, and small parties with lots of wine and good food. I still enjoy good movies, any/all time spent near an ocean, and much music (especially baroque, classical, New Orleans jazz, Southern Fried Rock, and Sinatra. (Yes, Sinatra. :glare:).

Current loves include vaping, ECF lurking, and beautifully-celebrated Masses. I cannot wait until Advent 2011 when the new English translation goes into use!
(Sorry, I know that's Catholic inside-baseball, but boy is it ever going to improve things! It'll take me right back to my Anglican childhood!:laugh:)

Oh, and cats. Except cats are not a hobby. They are a source of joy, beauty, laughter, solace, heartbreak, delight, and a social upgrade!:)

Adama you rock some dreadies? I would love to see a pic! how old are they? I have soooo many friends with dreads and my boyfriend has dreads that are 2 years old. I help maintain them sometimes! I also have a friend that installs and fixes dreads professionally!

My hobbies huh? well.. I have been learning to crochet lately. Ive been getting pretty good at that! I have two fish tanks and I like taking care of the fishies. I fed my plecostomus a piece of cucumber for the first time yesterday and he looooved it!
Im a singer. Ive been in high ranking choirs most of my life. I got to sing the national anthem with my choir at the Easter sunday game in Boston back in 06. heck yes I was on the field! I totally stole some rock! I also got to sing for important political people in Washington DC, like my state reps. Got to go in the secret underground subway for the important people of DC and tour the buildings.

Im a gamer, we gots a 360 and a couple ps3s and what not. Im a Final Fantasy nerd :) I also liked Halo back in the day.
Im first and foremost an artist. I draw and paint and do digital work. Maybe Ill share some stuff sometime.

Im also getting into spinning poi. I've spun fire once! my boyfriend is the fire spinner really. I just kinda learn a few things here and there to participate with friends! hmmm maybe I can find a video of a friend.....

Thats a buddy of ours, Justice. He's part of the Masked Skullz crew. He actually moved to Australia recently to be awesome. This video is from Plunderfest last summer. We kinda built a pirate ship on the main stage!

Anyways those are my hobbies I can think of right now. of course my favorite hobby right now is vaping and you guys!

I make beaded jewelry sometimes its a job sometimes not. I make all handsewn heirloom christening gowns, pillowlace (pinlace) to go on the dresses and also tatted lace. I usually spend 6-12 mos on one dress and all the lace for it. Cutwork, embroidery, and for fun knitted socks. I paint occasionally. I tried woodburning, gardening they are not for me. My latest thing has been figuring out how to make italian lace by hand.

I enjoy spending time gardening, flowers are such fascinating gifts from nature:) I also like to get my camera out and try to capture the different flowers throughout the spring and summer. I also really LOVE fashion...Hello, my name is Lily...and I'm a shopaholic. Hats, coats, shoes, boots, clothes, scarves, jewelery, purses:) Of course I never plan to go shopping, its always spontaneous;) And my newest hobbie, this forum :) Soon I can add 'vaping' to my list. :) My job takes up the biggest part of my time, and my spare time..is that a hobbie? :(

You guys all have great hobbies, and an abundance of talent. Kudos to all of you:)

Wow----am so impressed by all of the talent here. Intarsia, Mary Kay. My husband also does intarsia. What a beautiful hobby. Unfortunately, I am not talented at all, being born with no particular skills or creativity. My only claim to fame is being a great cook and able to win a lot of trivia games and contests. And really enjoy my new hobby, vaping and reading this forum.

Kites - Been flying quad line stunt kites since 2006.

That is soooooooooooooooo Cool!!! Looks like a lot of fun. Did you see that boy with autism last year on America's got talent? He flew kites too, he said that it was calming. He did two at a time. Really cool hobbie, thanks for letting us watch.
