All of us are full of surprises and interesting facts...Let's share!!!

I love to crochet!! I like to make all sorts of things like purses, stuffed animals, blankets, scarfs, slippers, coffee mug cozies, etc. I love love love it. It's wonderful to sit down on the couch after a long days work/cleaning and make something for someone. I taught myself when I was 19. I had just moved into my first apartment and was boooored. So I went to Wal-mart, bought a hook, yarn and a How To book and I've been crocheting every since. :):)

I also love to read. :)

    I read quite a bit. Yes books, but mostly essays and articles. Particularly on economics and, to a much lesser degree, political philosophy. I play the occasional video game, watch a handful of TV shows and a movie here and there.

    So yeah. In short, I'm a real party animal. ;)

    Right now I am mostly doing "Flame Working" (melting glass rod to make beads), but I also do stained glass, knitting, weaving and spinning, leather working, and I made quilts when my kids were younger. I like to paint furniture and I read also but mostly it's textbook style to learn how to do something :) I work on my own cars and home improvement projects.... gosh, i'm tired, I think I need a nap :)

    I like to sew. Actually I am learning to sew. I have successfully made a few dresses for my daughter. I'll call that a success since I can follow a pattern. I also love to read and watch tv. I guess I can call going to the gym a hobby too because I do like to do that.

    I'm currently working on two Masters degrees, so school is my only hobby as of late. : ) When I'm not in school, I love to read. I also plan on starting to play bass guitar again after I'm out of school.

    I also Crossfit regularly (I LOVE it).

    I am a homebirth midwife and a homeschooling mother of 4 so that pretty much takes up all of my time. :) I also love to garden and grow my own food, walk, hike and camp. I am learning how to crochet.I love to bake which is a problem eating Primal. I read a lot. Usually 1,000-2,000 pages per month.I would like to work poetry writing and playing guitar back into my regular activities. I need to watch less Netfix. I had a few years of poor health and developed bad habits of watching too much tv, a couple of hours before bed every night, which is funny since I went almost 10 years with out watching any.

    Before I went gluten-free, I was the one who brought home-made cookies to work every Friday.

    I read a lot and have a mild Assassin's Creed addiction (Xbox 360 game). I need to do more sewing, camping, and hiking.

    Just dug my spinning wheel out again for winter and bought myself a loom. Passionate organic gardener - I have 250 square metres of vege garden. Not really a hobby but I also enjoy scything - mowing at dawn when the world is waking up and the sun is rising is pure magic. Study tends to take up a lot of time - currently doing law papers, contemplating my Masters in Anthropology and about to do a Esol/Tefl course so I can teach overseas next year.

    I am a professional Radio Controlled truck racer. I am sponsored by COW RC and ZRP Racing. I have my own organization and we are dedicated to Replica Monster Jam racing. I am also the Secretary for the Michigan Chapter of Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy - FSMA. My son has this disease and is now attending college so I thought I might be able to help more families out and help them get their children to the point my son is at.

    Other than that I like Thrash Metal music and have always been a life long music fan. Music is a huge part of my life. It has helped me get through the good and bad times alike.

    I enjoy playing with my kids. I have 3 and our RC club is a family project. My oldest boy helps with the website, forum and all graphic material and my two youngest race with me.
