      My favorite hobby is a tie between 4 things... drawing (using my Wacom), watching anime, listening to hard rock/heavy metal, and eating.

      oh, hobbies! My husband says I have crafting ADD.

      - knitting (obsessed!--btw, OP have you seen ravelry.com -- I mean in case you need something besides MFP to eat up all the time you would otherwise waste by sleeping?)

      designing costuming, sewing, painting, jewelry, pottery, cooking, baking, decorating, cycling, SUP, spin, dancing (belly, samba, African, Bollywood, Latin, ballroom, contra, ballet), singing . . .

      there must be more, but it's early . . .

      Other hobbies: cooking, gardening, gaming out, and hiking in the dunes at our state park:)

      You should get a DeviantArt account for your photography. My girl's friend takes nature photos and turns them into calendars, coffee mugs, canvas prints, etc. and sells them. I'd be doing the same thing with my drawings, but I don't think that a lot of my stuff is good enough to do that with yet.

      This is along the lines of what I was going to say. The things I try to do include mostly artsy or crafty things, tho.

      Reading, it's ridiculous I have about 20 books to get through at the moment.

      And of course the gym!

      I like films too, and fashion, spend too much time watching catwalks, reading fashion magazines and all that.

      My hobby is having hobbies. Seriously, it gets out of hand.

      I feel like this, lol. I'm becoming one of those 'typical Utah outdoorsy people', so when the weather is even decent, I love hiking in the mountains or camping. I was supposed to start rock climbing this last spring, but the snow stayed too long and I was involved in other things once summer came. I'm hoping to start that this coming year, after winter.

      I have a very musical side, playing piano, singing, and a variety of band instruments, but it's been a while since I've done anything with it, aside from singing. I hope to plan a recital in the next year or two.

      I'm not a super 'crafty' person by nature, but I sometimes enjoy working on simple projects. I have a sewing machine and will sometimes work on a simple blanket or tied-quilt.

      I sometimes enjoy cooking for the sake of cooking. I've gotten very lazy and simple about cooking since becoming healthier and to me, the trade off has definitely been worth it.

      I'm working on writing a book. It's been slow, but I'm coming around to it again.

      I love, love, love to travel. I haven't had the opportunity to do much of it in the last several years because my husband and I are just now recovering from some devastating financial blows, but we're nearly back to being able to do a bit. *mega-excited face* We're trying to get to Japan in the next year or two. It's the cheapest time for us to go because we have family there right now.

      Lots of people saying reading, what sort of things do people like to read? Genres? Favourite authors?
    • Posts: 200 Member
      Reading, which is unfortunate since it's sedentary. I want to learn how to knit. I also love to bake.

      I'm starting to see my problem here. Hmm...I think I need a more active hobby.
