What is Your Favorite Hobby?

[19Sandy]

I need to buy a cheap jigsaw puzzle at the dollar store.

Never played Mah jongg - but now I want to.

Bae- that is rather scary!

Tried knitting and crocheting and it isn't part of my skill set

I can read better without my Progressives but probably need new ones but not in the budget right now (those are not those $100 bargains as advertised on TV).

Reading, bicycling (more transportation than hobby,) drawing, writing, observing nature, gardening, dancing, archery, piano, guitar, archery, calligraphy, playing with my dogs, theater, DIY. I'm a dilettante.

Walking/hiking has been my favorite thing; I have a wonky sacroiliac joint that's making that very painful right now. Nix on yoga, too.

Gosh, I wish we could meet IRL. We have many similar interests!

Neat thread. Simple question, but I'm learning new things about everyone.

Reading.

Can whiskey be a hobby?

Walking, not over-earnest hiking, just walking.

Can charitable work be considered a hobby?

Trying to raise a child who can think for herself, support herself and enjoy herself without drifting into selfishness.

Crossword puzzles. There, I've admitted it.

I forgot crossword puzzles. I dabbled in Cryptic crosswords for awhile--try those, great fun.
Also origami and needlepoint. I'd be a walker, and maybe I will be again; goes with nature "study."

I make dollhouse and miniature things. I like the research part and learning techniques as you get to do a bit of sewing, painting, designing, modelling, wood carving etc.

I'm in the middle of a 1930s style mock-tudor house of the type which are very popular around here but now I'm back at work progress has definitely slowed!

I love miniatures. Love them! I had a very small collection started 40 years ago, and i stopped there because I was afraid it would become an all consuming hobby. I used to read Nutshell News at the library (is that even still i. Publication?) I have even attended miniature shows without buying anything.

A few years ago I gathered up the small items .i owned and donated them to our local miniature club. They maintain a "museum" in the city that is kind of nice. I feel such a pull toward miniatures but am fearfull of al, of the crap that will bring into my life, so nope, wont go there.

Yes, it isn't a great hobby for decluttering and a minimalist type lifestyle as you do quickly accumulate things! Ebay is my main vice as I keep seeing houses on there that need some TLC and it takes a lot of will power to stop myself buying them.

I love cooking, baking and photography.

[Float On]

Kayaking is my big one.
I also like to sew a little (more abstract), knit/crochet, piano, garden, photography, and write lists.

[KayLR]

Sewing, embroidery, crochet, veggie gardening, birdwatching, zentangling, word puzzles, Sudoku. Dabble in photography. I've tried more things than I've stuck with. Like Jane, I'm a dabbler.
