Besides rocks, what other hobby(ies) do you have?

Fishing and metal detecting. I hate having to work on nice days like today! We get so few it seems here in WA....but maybe Thursday and Saturday on my bday I'll get to go drown some worms

So many hobbies, so little time....wood carving, scroll sawing, working jigsaw puzzles, reading, officiating swim meets (which my children are involved with) and attending their other numerous events.

the max

So little time, so many hobbies…… I dabble in pretty much everything. What I/we (hubby and I and most of our friends) really like is playing games or board games - if you go to your local Toys R Us and check out their games section, well we pretty much have all the games there in our basement - my mom jokes that we must have shares in their stock as we have so many games - we must have over 60 games (most of them are not the kiddy games either - go figure)

Aviation has always been a big hobby of mine, whether taking lessons, reading up or going to airshows I can't decide whether too look down at all of the pretty rocks or up and all of the cool planes! I'm also an amateur photographer although people tell me all of the time I should be doing it for a living! Recently I have also become interested in film making. I recently made a friend who has a screenplay ready to go and we are always talking about new ideas for film. We will probably have something together by the summer for a short film and then who knows?!?!

PS I saw somewhere on the internet that someone is already making (or has made) a documentary called "Rockhound; The Movie" I have been kicking around the idea of doing something similar.

My other hobby is steelhead fishing. Unfortunately, the kid's activities - baseball, soccer, cub scouts, etc is keeping me hopping these days.

I'm a hobbiaholic. I collect them as well.

Serious hobbies (IE - still active hobbies) - computers, camping/hiking, home improvements, quilting, reading, woodworking

Minor hobbies (I pull out once every couple months or so) - cross-stitch, fishing, travel, and many others.

LOL I kind of "collect hobbies" too. Pick up a new one about once a year, not including things I want to make or do but not enough to keep going with them.

Long-term serious other hobbies are gardening & plant hybridizing, which I was very involved in for all my life but no longer have time for; small shop woodworking, which I no longer have space for; Hiking and exploring wild areas- I swear I'm leaving the city soon, even if I have to buy a bare lot in the sticks and live in a tent! ...and after that we start going back to rocks.

Oh yeah, things I do a little bit of but keep doing over the years:
Soapmaking
Photography
leather tooling
herbalism
painting/remodeling
electrical work (more like favors or paid work than hobby I guess, but I generally enjoy it WAY more than plumbing. I hate plumbing.)
Palm readings (only when inebriated)

Hmmm... does just getting inebriated count? Doing less of that these days but still indulge at least twice a week LOL

There are more, just not thinking of them right now. I even got a nice sewing machine capable of denim and light leather, but never got around to learning how to do that. There are probably boxes in storage with the beginnings of several more cool or useful new hobbies I never learned.

I'm with you Joanna only it's my hubby who starts to see the $$ signs and that ruins it for me. I've had so many hobbies it's not funny but I'm easily bored with most and tend to let them go the wayside. Now I just like rocks. *smile* They are more fun, dont' talk back, you can brutalize them and they still turn out beautiful ... what's not to like about rocks?

Not really "hobbies", but one of these is usually taking up my spare time - animals, plants, photography, hiking, camping, mountain biking, and learning to play the Great Highland Bagpipes. S
