I enjoy cross-stitch when I can find the time, even when I know it relaxes me.

crocheting and gardening. Not that I've done much this spring and summer. My husband was in the hospital for 10 weeks, then passed away. Garden is a disaster. Maybe next year I will start again.

I am a potter and also make jewelry!I work out in my little studio every night and love what I do.I am making hanging planters and various size vases also.I have a new method of drawing for my pots.I have a potters wheel but don't use it hardly at all and may sell it.I love to hand build my product and love making my own beads for my jewelry.Wonder if there are any other artist types out there,,many of the artist groups aren't very active.Maybe it is my fault,I love to write and tell people what I am doing but get very little response and it does get lonely on these sites when no one writes back.Maybe I should stop writing anything.Maybe I sound like I am bragging about what I have but I really don't mean to.Hubby loves his TV but I love my pottery. and my little studio,I am not a TV person so watch a little news in the morning but that is about it.I am spending more time at my computer writing notes but as summer approachs will do more outside.Do enjoy writing to sparkpeople.Enough for now hope somebody writes soon, CLin Oregon
PS I love to garden and am a master gardener but love the clay more so that is what I do!!

Number one right now is gardening. I've been starting little plants in a basement greenhouse, got the garden tilled, and I'm ready to go.

Crafts, cooking and gardening. Time in the last couple of years has been a problem. My plant room is full of dead or almost dead plants, the garden is overgrown, but I have promised myself to start it all up again. Luckily, I cook all the meals and crochet or embroider while watching TV.

I use to go trail riding all the time, but when I was at my highest weight, I just didnt feel like doing anything, including riding my horse. And that is a shame. He was such good therapy for me. But now... I am feeling so much better. Almost 40 pounds lighter, and the farrier is coming Monday so we will be trail ready!!

I practice with my weights vs. my fly pole so I build endurance for real casting. Last year we couldn't get away for a trip but I have one planned the last of Jan and the first part of Feb. we have found a place to fish about 3.5 hrs from our farm on the east side of Nashville..
Hope it is all what the internet and some bloggers have said for us without paying for an expensive guide.

I would think that anything that you like to do or do in your spare time, would be a hobby.

I used to read a lot, but, have slacked in the past years. I am trying to read more now.

I realize that we are all very busy. When you do have free time....do you have hobbies that you do or would like to learn how to do.

Please share!
