Thankyou! Id love to look for your shop! And of course it is appropriate to post! We are like family here (:
I have so many besides reading and collecting books of all kinds. Huge collection of cookbooks, I want them all! LOL. I knit, do small quilting projects, beading, getting into scrapbooking and making greeting cards. Recycle old cards into other items like small boxes. Researching family history. I also garden, watercolor paint and re-decorate. Collect salt and pepper shakers, dolls, and a kajillion other things. That's just a sampling.

Beside reading I love music. I run a blog where I review new CDs and introduce new artist and local artist around Memphis. I also love art I love to take pictures, painting, and making stuff like decorative crosses and jewelry.
Reading, of course! I also write poetry/short stories, listen to music, watch tv, surf the net, and just hang out.

Isnt it!!!!! hahha love it! That would be a dreammmm to be on it
I love reading (obviously), and I really like to cook for my parents when I go back to see them. I love making cakes especially. I also like going to the cinema, music, reviewing plays etc.
Beside reading, I love cooking very much. I love to try dishes from many different countries. I love baking too, I even do bake to order through internet. I like gardening too but don't do much of that in the last few years because so much rain we get in Ireland. I just got my iPad not long ago, so reading seems even more exciting :). It's so handy when we're going holiday abroad, no more extra weight for many books.

I really love to garden too, but I am not organized enough to keep it looking nice - the weeds have taken over, but I think they look nice :) Photography is more my regular hobby; so I practice by taking pictures of my lovey weed filled garden. :)
I don't have many hobbies, or at least I don't feel I do. There is reading, art and photography and that takes up most of my time without even mentioning I'm a bit of a film buff and watch a fair few t.v shows.
I'm still working on discovering my hobbies. I'm not very creative, so anything to do with art is out. I would love to try gardening, but I kind of need a house and a yard before I attempt that. I do like watching movies, tv, and sports (yes, finally football season again!). One thing I love to do is organizing. I absolutely love the feeling of arranging and organizing anything and everything. If I could be one of those professional organizers that go around and clean up people's houses on that show Hoarders, I would be in heaven!
Rachel - the beginning of your list sounds pretty similar to what I'm going to say. :)So, obviously - reading! It's my favorite activity, hands down, ever. I love to bake (and eat such baked goods), just started gardening (flowers) this past summer and have been loving it, feeding/learning about birds, and photography. I received a fairly nice camera as a gift last Christmas and have been trying to improve all this year. :)
Oh, and not really a hobby, but I really love cats. :)

So snuggly too!
Well, reading is quite obviously part of my hobbies. I also love writing (short stories, fanfics, etc.) and art (drawing, graphic design, print publishing, etc.) I also enjoy movies/film/TV and food! But honestly, my favourite thing to do is think. I'm a daydreamer~
Mod
Sounds lovely! I love your hobbies :)
Writing, reading (well what a surprise),playing keyboards, cooking for friends, fine wine, cricket and travel.

Wow those journals are so cute!
My favourite hobby is reading, obviously! Writing poems and stories and painting will come second. Then its singing and dancing. I love all my hobbies but reading tops them all. :)
READING OF COURSE LOL painting sketching anything to do with art really i love art in any shape or form may it be in a movie photography theater or just plain anything really. I like going crazy sometimes doing things i dont normally do hahhah(understatement) yeah i love my hippie music and i love to be me just trying to figure out who i am is a hobby in itself so i guess self discovering is another one of my hobbies?!?!?:))

I like going crazy so..."Ahaha, self-discovery is one of my hobbies too :P People watching as well~ Also budding into people's lives since I'm curious that way.
And thank you Rachel! I find your hobbies amazing as well! I can't bake AT ALL. I always end up burning things.
Mod
I am such a people watcher. I work in a retail store so on downtime.. thats all we really can do! Lol.
And thanks :). Baking is fun for me. I am not much of a cook, but I can bake cakes. haha
First, as do most of you, I love to read. Then...I knit, crochet, dabble in photography and I like to cook as well. AND I am a people watcher too!

Obviously reading is one of my favorite hobbies/past times! Other than that, I love crafts (beading, making decorative soap, candles, painting, scrapbooking, etc). Also, I'm really into writing (anything from poetry, to blogging). I love to bake and find that it relieves stress for me. I was a dancer for most of my life (ballet, mainly) and although I don't dance in a company anymore, it's still a passion of mine.

Reading, of course. I also love to crochet, only in the winter. I enjoy cooking on my days off.

I am making a doily for a friend for Christmas. Have fun with your hat!
Like everyone else reading is one of my favorites.. I also like to quilt and play in a volleyball league. It all seems to keep me quite busy!
Tracy wrote: "I am making a doily for a friend for Christmas. Have fun with your hat! "Thanks, should've been done today but I ran out of yarn.
I love doilies! I made lots when I first learned crochet :D
I like books and movies. I also like tv shows like Jersey Shore and Dexter. I'm a nerd.
Well just recently I got obsessed with make up (not that I haven't been using it for sometime now), but now I'm learning how to do it professionally. And I have no clue if I am good in it..LOL. Oh..and reading, of course.. But that's more than just a hobby..It's more like my life mission..hahah

Believe me..It's a whole philosophy!!! Colors, shade, eye-color, round face, fat face...LOL. And yes - it's and art! And I even got a bit interested in hair-styling. Oh it's just I have this dream to have my own beauty salon..with lots of books in it of course..hahah. It's gonna be something like a library + hairdresser + cosmetics. A small paradise for every woman. Well, wish me luck to make this dream come true:)
Mod
Love Jersey Shore!!

Ive taken tons of makeup classes! Do you like stage makeup, fashion makeup, natural "looking" makeup?
Rachel Skye wrote: "Ananda wrote: "Well just recently I got obsessed with make up (not that I haven't been using it for sometime now), but now I'm learning how to do it professionally. And I have no clue if I am good ..." Well I personally like the natural "looking" makeup.. Would never, EVER think that learning how to properly apply makeup would be so hard..LOL.
let's see...where to begin!! I have so many hobbies it's not funny! I love to do all types of handcrafts...crochet, needlepoint, counted cross stitch, embroidery, sewing, knitting. then there is reading, of course! and then there is stamp and coin collecting. I also love colelctor spoons, shot glasses,lots of knick knacks, and travel! there are not enough hours in the day for all my hobbies! I also need a house just for my crafts! lol
Mod
Oh its actually really fun! I like it because You learn so many other things besides makeup. Learn face shapes, color shading, skin tones. About the applicators, about the pigments. Its fun (:
Mod
I coin collected ages ago. I did the state quarters !

They really did!
