I love to play the piano; it's the secret to my sanity. :w00t:

I love photography, would love to improve on some skills.

 

I also love to sew, knit, crochet, and cook/bake. :001_smile:

[Jenny in Florida]

I crochet, and I do some cross-stitching.

 

I do a variety of crafts as needed.

 

But mostly I read.

[prairiegirl]

I spend a great deal of my free time reading but I have also branched out into baking and playing piano in the last few months.

[Satori]

I answered Photography and Other, as I love to read. I answered the other thread.

 

I'd love to take more piano lessons and add that as a hobby.

I voted photography and other. Other being reading, writing, and blogging. I also love home design/decor if that can be called a hobby.

I checked "sculpting-any medium" because I make dolls, waldorf-style and others, but sewing is involved too. I also felt wool roving into dolls and other figures, like animals (small scale). I must like escaping into the innocent world of young children. They all end up as gifts.

 

I am particularly inspired by the style of my favorite dollmaker:

and her blog

 

My little dolls are spin-offs from this book:

I like to make dolls inspired from this japanese waldorf book and others: (scroll down to see pictures)

Reading and horseback riding

Reading

[Tarreymere]

String and sticks. Crochet, knitting, loom knitting, weaving with a table loom, tunisian crochet, tatting, spinning, you name it. If I had a previous life I might have been a spider. I do sew also, but I don't do that for the joy of it but for the utility.

I guess cooking and baking are hobbies too. I used to think reading was my favorite hobby but the good writers don't write fast enough and I get annoyed these last few years when I have to settle for re-reading an older book or reading a second-rate writer.

 

Is curriculum shopping a hobby? How about my current obsession with finding free vintage ebooks to use as curriculum? Or making planning templates for homeschooling plans that I will never end up using? :D
