I make a point never to try and make any of my hobbies pay. It takes all the fun out if it and makes it feel like work, however much you loved it before. I don't mean you shouldn't like your work, just that you shouldn't spoil a good hobby.
I would like to say I knit, although it wound be more accurate to say that I collect yarn. And I garden (although the garden is winning) I sew, spin and dye sometimes and dabble with soap and things. I'd like to do a lot more of those things. I did do some clay shooting, and loved it - I would like another go at that sometime. I'd also quite like to learn more history, too. On the whole, I'd just like the hobbies I have to stop getting away from me!
I did a pottery course once, that was very enjoyable. Good, squishy fun. |

perhaps I need to come and visit you. We can do fiber stuff and talk history. |

I play the recorder and whistle, and go to folk sessions and gatheringswith folky friends, where we play (mr CIG plays the melodeon) along with them
I knit and collect yarn
I want to get into sewing but it seems to involve finding bigger chunks of time
I draw (not terribly well, but who cares)
I really enjoy impractical cooking - most of my cooking is preserving the harvest, or making dinner etc, but it is nice to bake something you don't need, just for the joy of doing it or learning a new technique
I've just taken up cycling again after a long break. I walk regularly too.
We've recently bought a van again, and are converting it into a camper. A fun process in itself, but when done we shall be spending a lot of time using it mostly as a day camper to go to the beach and moors.
My biggest hobby is reading. However panicked things are, I always find time to read, even if I have to give up sleep to do it. |
