What's everyones hobbies?

Options
I was thinking about my hobbies recently and how I need to get back into some and out of others so I thought I'd do a post to find out what everyone else is doing these days...

I pretty much have a sick addiction to playing pool. I don't go as much as I used to but at some points it was almost 5 nights a week. We recently joined another pool league though that plays Tuesdays so I might be right back at it...
I also love to write and take pictures. I have a poem published but lost steam a couple of years ago when I started working more and had other things going on. I've also had some photographs in a couple art shows and mostly I just love doing edits. What about everyone else?

    I like to scrapbook and love photography. Haven't worked on my scrapbooking in a while with summer and two kids I've been pretty busy.

    I used to make candles and decorate the jars. I haven't done that in years. I might get back into that some day, just don't seem to have the time. I really don't have any hobbies right now but what I do to relax is either read a book or go out on the front porch and watch the deer and birds, or go and play with my dogs. I'm kinda boring!!! Must get out of that !

    Making candles? That's so groovy! I wanna get into that once we move out to our new house.

    I'm a singer. I sing folk. Alternative folk, rather - in the vein of Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, you know the type. I'd say that I play guitar as well but really its the bare minimum accompaniment. I'm not that good.

    Pretty much anything to do with music - playing, listening, writing - makes me happy. I also love walks in the woods (rural Indiana is actually pretty beautiful.) Travel is a big one too, a lot of my discretionary income is spent on trips to either coast or abroad for sightseeing. Lots of quick road trips for concerts.

    Good question!

    I really enjoyed it. I started out by getting the kits and then I just started collecting all different types of jars and stuff that I thought would make cool looking candle holders and poured and melted my own and added the different scents. Then I would decorate the jars and such. Was fun.

    I used to quilt, but don't have the time anymore - someday I will get back into it. I have many samples of my work leftover from the days when my boys were toddlers. I even have one posted in my profile.

    I love to make gift baskets when someone is having a baby or a birthday. The ingredients vary in cost and the results are usually breathtaking.

    I also journal a lot. I don't have a lot of friends, so venting my feelings into a private journal is almost as good as therapy. I have a natural talent for prolific writing.
