I don't know how I forgot this, but another huge hobby of mine is singing karaoke. I have over 200 karaoke CDs and could probably host my own sessions. I found out early, most karaoke hosts do not have much of a selection of rock music. So, i ended up buying my own. I sing everything from early Deep Purple, Jethro Tull and Black Sabbath to more modern day Ozzy Osbourne, Creed, Nickelback, Seether and Shinedown. In fact, I just bough a new CD this week with Seether's Careless Whisper and Shinedown's Second Chance. My best song is Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd. My favorite is Buckcherry's Crazy B**ch. I get a lot of requests from the ladies to do that one.

Reading
gardening
classic cars
home improvement- painting, sewing curtains, etc.
antiques
collect tea pots
crystal collection
I also do a fair amount of charity work. Church, AFSP (suicide prevention), project Linus, etc.
When I decided to obsess over quilting I gave up garment sewing, acrylic painting, crocheting, charcoal drawing, and any other craft around.

OMG, isn't Seether's cover of Careless Whisper wicked?
I also like Shinedown's version of Simple Man. Almost better than Skynyrd. Almost.
You know, the only reason I know some of these recent bands is because they cover the classics! It may have been long before my time (I was born in the 80s), but I pretty much only listen to classic rock.

My obsession is Scuba Diving but I don't get to spend as many hours doing that as I like right now!
I have been hooked on that for about 10 years and I love to take people out in the PNW from other parts of the country to see Octopus and Wolf Eels.
I took up quilting to make a baby quilt for a friend...it was a success even though very simple. I tried to make a dress and decided quilting was the way to go.
I enjoy quilting because I get to "build" things otherwise my house would always be in a state of remodel. I truly love to build.
Besides, with quilting, everyone loves blankies and to snuggle...so I am able to give a hug, snuggle and love to all who get a quilt from me.
I have other hobbies and things I like to do...these are just two of my favs.

I do the Lynyrd Skynyrd version of Simple Man and Pearl Jam's version of Last Kiss, both fairly well.
