Wow, what a lot of talented people here! I like walking, camping, and rarely watch TV without some crochet or knitting in hand. My favourite hobby of silversmithing has turned into a small business and what I am doing most evenings after my day job - hammering and soldering in my kitchen. I think I should be prioritising some gym sessions to increase my weight loss!0

I exercise (I especially love kettlebells and tae bo) and I love to watch horror films,zombie survival films are a favourite! I love spending some time each night to pamper myself,do my nails nice/facials etc.. I'm a body shop at home consultant so I spend a lot of time making flyers and promoting my business,which I love.I also enjoy studying victorian society and literature :blushing:0

Ooooh i love reading! Cross stitch is another favourite of mine, as you lose yourself in it (plus you can't snack while doing it cause both hands are occupied!)0

I train 3 times a week, splitting my routine in three to cover legs, arms and torso. I also do street dance with a crew, and have been for some time now.
When not doing active stuff, I'm a huge lover of reading. I have a book with me wherever I go, and I'll bury my head in a book for hours on end if I can.
Aside from my usual job, I'm also an aspiring author with his first (still can't believe it!) publishing deal secured. The novella is en route and is currently sitting in first draft status.

I've always been very keen on crafty hobbies, mostly cross stitch and knitting (currently building up a little stock of baby blankets for a craft fair next year). They are great hobbies for watching tv while not snacking as your hands are kept occupied!
I also love reading, and as somebody already said, my favourite gift ever was my kindle!
Recently I've been trying to find more active things to do. I took up photography when I met my husband and we often go out on nature/landscape shoots which mean a fair bit of walking. I enjoy that but it's usually a slow walk so not the best exercise. So I tried out walking with a local Ramblers group and discovered that I LOVE walking round the countryside! Now I often go out on my own and walk 8 miles or so and I find it a great chance to unwind and think and be myself. Heaven (as long as it's not raining!)

I love dita she is what I would choose to look like if you could do that lol. I've always wanted a corset but don't think id ever wear it. Plus my partner hates them lol. I'm still a goth at heart though.
As for hobbies having 3 kids keeps me busy but when I do get time free I love motorbikes mainly as I geto wear leather and walking . Oh and playing badminton.0 -
well, hobbies wise I have all sort of craft hobbies including Knitting, Crochet, Cross Stitch, Beading, Sewing, Drawing and currently learning lace making and pyrography. Also enjoy reading, camping and watching rugby0

Photography, took it up a couple of years ago when my other half bought me a camera, had a couple of things exhibited, I'm beginning to think the hobby has turned into a bit of a passion0
-
My hobbie is horse riding, but since buying a house can't really afford it anymore :sad: but in my spare time i enjoy having a nice bubble bath and readin a book 0
-
I make and decorate wedding cakes and ther celebration cakes, luckily I don't have a sweet tooth:laugh: . I'm also an avid reader, my kindle goes everywhere with me0
-
I like camping and generally being in the outdoors doing country walks. I also like singing, at the moment it's just singing along to the radio but I would like to maybe have some singing lessons when I have more time or sing in a modern choir. I also enjoy reading0

My hobbies are Archery, (Preparing for the zombie apocalypse! :sick: ) helping out at a cub scout group and roleplay (RPG). Not the kinky kind, the roll strange dice and fight dragons kind. Stupidly geeky and not very girly I know, but been doing it since I was about 13.
Sounds just like my hub - and the looks we get whilst explaining to new people met is unbelievable hehe, think we are into all sorts of weird and wonderful - when it is really sat around rolling dice 0 -
On my gaming night we sit around have a laugh, throw some dice, kill the monsters and eat mounds of sweeties and chocolate!
The two seem to go together! I tried bringing carrot sticks and humous one week but it didn't go down very well! lol!
hehehehe, the sour jelly sweets are the MOnsters - kill em and eat em! 0 -
hobbies......... I love sewing and making, wish I had the knowledge and confidence to try corsets. Have a crochet granny square blanket on the go ( 2 years in the making and still going! ) I have made a few basic costumes for Medieval festival days out, but just peasant dresses and mens shirt/trousers - with pouch on a bog standard leather belt.
Also like cooking - try to make a much as possible from homegrown food, however, that does not always work out.................

If I had enough spare time I'd spend it on:
129 pages of accumulated unread Kindle books, photography, travel, planning the next ten years worth of travel, and an allotment (because my garden isn't big enough to grow everything I'd like to). I'd also like to get more exercise in.
As it stands I just about make time to pick up my Kindle a couple of times a week for half an hour, get onto Facebook and MFP, up to 5 hours a week at the gym, work and keep house, and do a little gardening, oh, and only use my camera when we travel (three times a year abroad if I can wangle it ) or to capture plants and insects in my garden. 0 -
oh yes, and digital and paper scrapbooking...I have a massive stash of materials and photos and no time to get it all into albums!If I had enough spare time I'd spend it on:

Just wondering what all you guys like to do to keep yourselves occupied/busy/out of trouble :laugh:
I am in the progress of turning my hobby into a little cash generator - I am a corsetier! for anyone thinking WTH? Its a corset maker, as in the steel boned, suck you in, waist cinching corsets like what burlesque dancers wear, and if you look at my tracker down below, you'll see the rather gorgeous Dita Von Teese, burlesque dancer and corset aficionado! (she can get her waist down to a teeny 18" when fully corseted) :smooched:
Being the crafty sort, i can also draw & sketch, I can knit, sew, cross stitch and a little bit of photography!
I also make Victorian fully steel boned corsets but only for myself to wear. I knit, and sew and read and have just started archery and intend to fire bare-bow recurve.0 -
I like reading , going for long walks love doing my scrap book working on my dolls house and painting also love making things even thought not always that good 0

I am also on a mission be a lot more green so attempting to grow veg, learning to sew, etc. 0

Another photographer here... Started off as a hobby over a decade ago, and slowly, turned into a passion, and now a part time business too. I love to shoot all sorts, from Landscapes to Studio stuff, although wedding and event photography are proving to be the most lucrative! Outside of those, I'm into my automotive photography, which ties in nicely with my other passion - all things Lotus Car related! I've a hideously bright green Lotus Exige, which I spend many an hour driving, and tinkering with! Here are my 2 biggest passions, rolled into one: Shot up on the Isle of Skye, during a trip up there last year.
...and another showing off it's lovely green lairyness!

I am retired so have plenty of time to get into mischief. My (our) main interest is dancing, ballroom, sequence and a bit of latin. We currently have 3 classes a week and usually a social dance at the weekend. I can be found out walking every day come rain or shine, often with a GPSr in my hand looking for geocaches. I also enjoy messing around in my shed doing bits of DIY and wood turning. Recently I have been trying to get to grips with a guitar, progress is slow on that one lol.0

Melting glass :bigsmile: Seriously addictive, but I make beads and then sell them (to fund yet more glass).
Other than that, I'm a jewellery maker, dressmaker and scrapbooker too (strictly paper). These things all now have to fit around my exercise regime, so I don't have as much time as I used to!0 -
I'm a crafter.
Card making
Cross stitch
Crochet
Designing knitwear
Drawing
Knitting
Sewing
Scrapbooking
That kind of thing, and best of all, I like trying new things, so the list is constantly changing. I either do it, or if you got my interest piqued I'd have a go :P0 -
I'm a sculptor/potter. Not sure you can call it a hobby as its my work too - I work in a college as a Ceramics Technician.
I also walk, cycle, dance and I'm taking up yoga.0 -

I do some sketching and oil painting when I'm in the mood.
I used to play viola but I haven't done it for ages..0 -
My life at the minute involves gym, work, gym, eat, sleep and then do it all over again. Dont even get time for anything else. The only thing I have to look forward (and has been my main weight loss drive) is my big holiday to Egypt next year!0
-
I'm a crafter too - mostly beading, but also a fair bit of knitting, sewing and embroidery. I also love walking (countryside in summer, city in winter) and reading.0
