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!

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!)

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!)

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 rugby

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

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

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!

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.

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.

I am single so hobbies are my life! lol I am a photographer, an urbexer, and a petrolhead. I also go rock climbing, Krav Maga, and ceroc classes, and I am a volunteer for the RSPB and Countryside Access Programme which I do lots of walking and nature projects. Also big movie and music fan. I am also on a mission be a lot more green so attempting to grow veg, learning to sew, etc.

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.

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

I am a crafter- current fave is knitting and as was said earlier it keeps your hands busy so can't drink wine....or eat.... also love to read

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 get quite bored/ obsessed with things easily, ill go from being really into it, to next minute not bothering at all, mfp is like an obsession right now, but i always love reading and at the moment its mostly spiritual books, about angels spirits, law of attraction etc. and always have and always will love art drawing and painting
