|  | Other hobbies ?
« Thread Started on Jul 3, 2012, 9:46pm » | |
I'm sure theres probably been other threads like this but i'm quite curious and nosey as to what all of you have as other hobbies and how you like to pass your time when your not out in the garden !
Mine would be photography and my piggies are a hobby i guess !
So what else do you get up to ?

My problem is that I have too many hobbies twains  and not enough time for ordinary stuff like cleaning 
I knit, sew, embroider and make little craft things.
I read and collect books ( also collect other things like seeds, pots, envelopes, fancy paper, pencils , pens, buttons , £2 coins, scissors..... a touch of OCD I think  .
I`m interested in bookbinding and make little books and tools.
I also do a bit of diy usually woody things around the garden . I made this spice rack yesterday out of left over trim from my new kitchen ( which me and my big brother put in a few months ago )

When I have time I paint, I used to paint murals in the children's ward of hospitals in the area and even in the shelter for homeless kids, now I think me and the other volunteers have just about painted all of them.
Now I just do rock art mostly paint animals on round stones to put in the container with my potted plants or paint the entire clay pot itself. Cross-stitch embroidery when it's raining. I'm trying to find time to take pottery classes but just don't have time to sit in class for 6 hours each day for a week or two.

We both read, and have far too many books.
We also share a love of doing puzzles - he likes Sudokus and 'Freecell' and I prefer word puzzles...I do tapestry when it's raining and in the evenings.
I used to paint in oils - I should start that again!

Mine has always been photography too, previously with 35mm SLR and my own dark room I did pics for a couple of local papers as well as family and friends...nowadays I idly just use Digi on automatic most of the time but I do make sure it has a good Macro and Telephoto
I took the piggies to be pet guinea pigs ?

I used to breed and show Springer Spaniels, then took up Cockers when I reached old age The granddaughter of my original cocker is showing well in Scotland and already qualified for Crufts. I am not doing this any more.
I still enjoy knitting.

I love walking going different places,I love old buildings churches, museums and places of interest. I read alot as well and I've just started painting doing water colours which I find very relaxing, long before I got old with dodgey knees I used to horse ride everyday. How I miss that

That spice rack is really awesome, i wish i had a bit more of a D.I.Y side to me so i could build hutches and hidey houses for my piggles.
