What Are Your Hobbies?

[tulip]

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...

Other than cycling:

Yoga
Photography
Reading
Writing (this is a new one)
Walking my dog and playing with my cat
Shopping

I'm also learning French, Photoshop and Illustrator.

This all keeps me extremely busy. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep it all together when I go back to work!

I used to do some silversmithing - for a while, until I kinda ran out of ideas. Still have some silver clay lying around waiting to be used.







I'm also a ritualist.

oh and I make webby stuff like icons.

Find a place like this (or go here):
Spinner's Ridge

And take a class!

Writing (even though it's my job); photography; rock climbing and challenging my body in new ways; reading; playing the guitar and listening to and discovering new music; and my pets have kind of become a hobby (geckos, turtle).

I keep telling DH if he will just let me get an Alpaca I will learn to spin and get better at knitting (my Nanny taught me many moons ago) and we can enjoy the soft wool while keeping our new buddy as a pet. Luckily he can say no and hide behind a HOA for now but our dream is to get some property, probably 3-10 acres and then I will get an Alpaca, even if it just "wanders" onto our property. Hehe. I even tried to make him stop in Mora, NM so we could feed the Alpacas at a large ranch there. He thought I was joking, I am still sad we didn't.

OH! I love alpacas!! I spent some time on an alpaca farm several years ago. I thought it was the coolest thing ever!! Of course, I live a conflicted life. While an alpaca farm sounds cool, I also like living in the chaos that is Los Angeles and I don't know that my neighbors would be cool with alpacas... oh well. You'll just have to post pictures of yours when you get them!!
