Do you have a hobby or hobbies that you want to share with other people on this forum. I'll start the ball rolling. I sew. I make all my own clothes and some for others. I make lots of other things as well and enjoy the accomplishment of looking at a finished item, seeing the result and saying 'a made that'. I have been sewing for 29 years but really only got serious in the last 15 years. Also, I suppose you would call cooking a hobby of mine and gardening.  |

I knit - old-fashioned yes, but I enjoy it! |

I rediscovered knitting last year after a 25 year hiatus. I had a number 2 clipper cut and was a bit chilly on the head in bed at night. Since I don't have a partner to scare, I knitted myself one. I then knitted a multitude of scarves from all the new beautiful soft yarn, and gave them to family and friends. Now I knit dolls dresses for my little friend, Abby's Cabbage Patch Doll and ChuChu baby. Keeps me occupied when watching TV at night. My sewing machine had siezed up when I rediscovered knitting so something good came out of something bad. I have recently had my beautiful machine overhauled and it works like a new one! |

My dear old mum, God bless her soul, could knit and crochet anything while watching TV. She seldom used a pattern and hardly ever dropped her eyes to watch what she was doing.

I never take my eyes off the screen when knitting and watching TV at the same time. It's so funny. I usually get lost with my knitting if the show I am watching is particularly gripping. A little 4 year old friend of mine is fascinated that I can knit without looking at it. |

My favourite hobby is procrastination, and I'm very good at it.  |

I suppose mine are the internet and the television. Almost exciting as race car driving but not as expensive. |

Gotta say I'm with you Dean on that one! I love my TV and my PC which encompasses the Net. Libran's are very good procrastinators. Grand ideas but... it can wait until tomorrow.  |

Do they get built Simpson, or is it just for your own pleasure? I used to do that in my teens and actually designed the house me and my first husband were going to build but I left before it came to fruition, they were about to lay the slab actually! |

Wooden toys are sooo expensive in the stores today, but they are making a come back - I think parents feel they are more durable, and remind them of 'when I was a kid'. You should look at selling on eBay! |

If Lawnbowler is anything like myself he'll give away the majority of the things he makes. A good outlet for any excess things made at leasure are markets. We have the largest open air market in the southern hemisphere here on the Sunshine Coast at Eumundi. http://www.eumundimarkets.com.au/ Wooden hand made toys are in great demand. I knitted heaps of scarves last winter and this but have given them all away. I do it for my own pleasure. |

Cooking is the big one for me...love to experiment with new ingredients and ideas. Sadly I love to eat as well. Also do cross stitch - don't really care for the output too much...took it up when I quit smoking as something to do with my hands...and I've kept it up...something to do when watching tv (although I watch much less tV these days so do less cross stitch) They're the only ones I can talk about in mixed company  |
