I also love to cook and bake and lately I've gotten into making homemade ice cream...and I have the thighs to prove it!

Cooking
reading
theatre
going out to eat
wine
But, most of my life revolves around outdoor activities
no artistic talents at all

[Aggie_Ama]

I don't feel like I have many: baking (not a big fan of cooking itself just baking), hiking, if it is cold/rainy or football season I like to do jigsaw puzzles, reading (wish I did it more).

I am very interested in kayaking but no boat yet. And I like mountain and road biking which feels like two hobbies to me.

As for collections I collect Cookie Jars and those little smashed pennies you make in the little crank machines. My husband is amused by the penny thing, I will seek those things out if we are in a touristy place. This is a recent thing I started, I think it comes from my Pawpaw, he liked to find strange coins. It was never pricey collector ones he just found them.

Quilting
making Bobbin Lace
Renaissance costuming
Birding
Gold thread embroidery (with REAL gold!)

Things to collect - rocks from work project sites (impossible in swamp country), Zuni fetishes, handmade Christmas ornaments - if made overseas, must be in a local art style (i.e. No "German" ornaments made in China).

kayaking, although like Aggie, I don't have a boat of my own, yet.
gardening and garden design (kinda my profession, too, but I just can't help myself)
seeking out and reading about modern architecture
I would like to say that I draw, but I don't anymore. I keep saying I'll pick it up again, but I haven't. Same for music (cello and mandolin). I'll call those Past and Future Hobbies (but not present)
cooking, once I get a kitchen
keeping up with French and learning Spanish

Well, prior to moving I was into mostly just beading (I make beaded jewelry - or I used to), reading and beginner gardening.

Now my interests are varied. Lately it's been canning - I'm having fun with it! I also have tried my hand at cheesemaking (after I learned to milk a goat). We will be kidding our goat this year, so that'll be a new adventure. I taught myself to knit, so once the winter kicks in, I need to work more on that. I also want to learn to spin and to make wine - but one thing at a time.

I'd also kill to learn to quilt - but I really don't have the time yet.

I'm very much a do-it-yourself-er. While I'm not into drawing or painting or creating music...I still consider myself creative. I just have non-traditional outlets!

I need to get out Kayaks out enough that I can call it a hobby! I do love them.

I'd love to learn to spin, but have *no idea* where to start...
