    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 reading

    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 :)

    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! :)

    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 :smile: ) or to capture plants and insects in my garden.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 :P

    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!

    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.
