Mostly writing; I write books and music, and am learning to play the guitar. Other than that, I love listening to music, watching movies or just watching bad reality TV. I'm also finding that I enjoy cooking, and I've been meaning to take up yoga, but I never have the time. Family is super important to me, so I love goofing off with my sisters, and running around with my niece and nephew.

I love writing in Calligraphy... it really relaxes me!

Jessica, I am quite a foodie, and I like discovering new recipes, since I'm not the most creative cook.
Cricket, do you get lost in the hobby store like I do? Michaels is a dangerous place for a hobbyist.

Wow! I have a colleague who writes in calligraphy and each of her work is just stunning! What kind of topics do you prefer to write in Calligraphy?

I love cooking and recipe collection as well as sewing. As winter is approaching her (Australia), I am picking materials to sew clothes for my dog (he gets realy cold and starts shivering, bless him)...I made him a butterfly wings when I took him to our church..he looked so funny! Once a year our church invites pets for blessing...The whole yard gets to be packed with animals...this year, I am hoping to make a bumblebee costume for him with cute cutest possible antennas 8D

Nothing wrong has ever happened to me, except an indigestion for overeating mushrooms. :) But it was soooo good!
Yes, you have to be sure what you are eating. Paul has a very effective method not to be sick. He waits and sees if I get sick. If not, he eats the mushrooms we gathered. lollll
He says: "One has not to be sick to bring the other to the hospital". Funny guy!

I wish I could sew.I don't have many hobbies. Most times I make craft toys for my toddler. . I made a spaceship out of cardboard boxes; trying to make a go cart from milk cartons.
It is easy to sew..first get yourself a simple sewing machine and join a sewing class for basics...and then voila! But nake sure you buy cheap materials so you don't feel bad with your first few mistakes....Oh! and you tube is really good place to learn too
Try it my friends and you'll see how easy sewing is

Ooohhh... singing and gardening! How wonderful! What kind of music do you play and what is your favorite song that you like singing?

I love writing, singing and I am teaching myself how to sew and crochet.
Oh, I do a little drawing too.

Lily, Thank you but please don't let my words fool you into believing I am a pro....lol. I am no Picaso or Frida Kahlo. I love to draw but I am not the best. I just want to be an artist soooo bad, whether it's drawing, sewing, crocheting or some other artistic means of creativity. My problem is jumping from one thing to the next, I need to stick to one or two and master them before moving on.

I love drawing flowers - style of pointillism with pin and ink, watercolor and oil. My flavor flower artist is Georgia O'Keefe so her work has always inspired me since 1982. Calligraphy is another joy as well which I mentioned in a previous post.
If you could see all of the art supplies I have you would think that I really got down in painting and drawing. .....lol. I definitely cannot paint but drawing is soothing and relaxing.

I tend to collect art supplies and then go through periods when I don't use them.
At Cricket, I don't have a lot of formal training, but I love to experiment with different techniques.
I like watching old films on Turner Classic Movies. A few of my favorites are:Mutiny on the Bounty
The Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Cape Fear
Cat People
Ben-Hur
And Then There Were None
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Anne of the Thousand Days
Creature From the Black Lagoon
Spartacus
Because my wife and I watch these movies, we often use idioms from them when we talk. When expressing her affection for me, she frequently says, "You're swell." LOL!

Is there anything else you like to do in your non-reading/non-working/non-essential task time?"I enjoy traveling, historical reenactments, music, dog shows and equestrian sport (as a spectator nowadays rather than a participant due to medical issues).
Mod
I don't know if being a film nut qualifies but when I'm not writing or reading movie watching is my most treasured pastime. From Classics to Contemporary I'm all in ;-)
I like to run,and run 10K races throughout the Fall - Spring. Badminton playerHave just taken up yoga and pilates. Hmmm, is doing yoga supposed to hurt?
I love art's and craft's cooking, also track/field.
I love drawing, dabbling in writing, and fashion and costume designing (which I haven't done in years - lol).
I love cooking and art's and craft's, poetry also I'm getting back into Pilates. I enjoy watching different sport's.
I love to crochet, cook and watching classic movies.
The only hobby I can even manage to get a bit of time in for these days is gaming but it's probably one of my favorite things to do. My Steam library is ridiculous and I've been steadily working on actually playing all of the 300 something titles I have.I also like hiking and urban exploration, getting into the nooks and crannies of cities and towns to find hidden historical gems. Cooking, brewing, and baking are also on the list but I think that's just considered "medieval adulting." LOL!
I enjoy baking, wreath making, sewing, making yard signs, game nights, watching TV and traveling.
I am a performer of bellydance, hula, and Afro-Latin folkloric dance. Also play the piano and love to do embroidery when I get the chance.
Besides reading. My other hobbies are crafting,baking,and watching tv.
I enjoy designing (websites, book covers, posters), writing, nature walks, traveling and experiencing other cultures.
I have always been a gamer. I have let it lapse a bit but I just finished bingeing The Witcher on Netflix so now I want to get back into my gaming. I think I started Assasins' Creed like... 4 years ago and left my assassin hanging out on top of a roof somewhere. Should probably go get him down.
I totally love reading books at the size that I enjoy making jewelry! Earrings bracelets and necklaces. I also enjoy crocheting from time to time and do both while listening to one of my romance novels. ❤️🎧
