My main interest is spending time with my dogs. My husband and I spend most weekends hanging with the dogs. A perfect afternoon to me is lounging on the couch reading while my fur babies sleep on my lap :-0 I like the outdoors--enjoy hiking and taking the dogs on walks. I probably watch too much TV too.

Wow! It sounds like you are an all-around crafter :) Someone in my family does a lot of the activities that you participate in. I mainly crochet, I tried to learn how to knit, and embroder, but it didn't work out so well.



I love to read above most everything, but I also enjoy:
-bird-watching
-horseback riding
-sketching
-hiking
-keeping a journal
-singing
-gardening

Stamped Embroidery

Kudos to all that are creative. It has always been a struggle for me to be creative or artistic in any way. I know what I like when I see it, but I am not good at coming up with new concepts. I am in awe of people with creative talent.

I've also just started colouring, in one of those art therapy books which I have to say I am loving. I find colouring really relaxing and I often colour while watching TV shows. I'm not very creative when it comes to coming up with new ideas so colouring rather than drawing works well for me (one of the things I'm working on with my creative writing practise).
I've just started going to the gym which I'm really enjoying, and can't believe I didn't try it sooner. Apart from that making lists, tidying and constantly organising are some of my most prevalent hobbies :).




I am also interested in psychology, history and photography.





I liked sewing when I worked at my college's theatre dept though I am saving up to buy my own sewing machine.
I also love photography though I haven't played with my camera enough. I want to buy lenses but I they're so expensive and I'm just a hobbyist.
Ooooh, I also love painting and drawing. I wish I can oil paint but I'm nervous of using them and I'm at a loss of where to dispose used materials. I'm also at a student budget and talk myself out of purchasing art stuff since I don't work on it like I used. But my recent haul has been the Faber Castell Polychromos!
Makeup is another hobby of mine and I like to think I am painting my face :D

I get the same reaction when I tell people my hobby - I photograph headstones :-)

In typing all this down I realize I have a very boring lifestyle lol


I love building my little library through thriftbooks and other places. We have 3 cats, so that's awesome too. I love coffee. So much. That cup a day is so serene. I used to love all things active and outside, then I got sick. So now i love my little walks when I can go on them, my cats, my bf, movies, tv, HARRY POTTER, books, crochet, spotify, random things. :) I am very excited to have found this group. I used to read a book in a day. But it is harder now to read. So i take more time. But i love it all the same!! It is an escape into another world, I laugh, i get angry, i cry, i cheer! I find such a peace in reading. I also love naps. :) I am 25! Call me Sam, Sammy, or Samantha! :) Thank you for hthis chance. I AM NEW TO THIS, so please be kind and help me learn if i make mistakes. <3 Gentle hugs & happy reading!
