What other hobbies do you have?
#52
Not sure it is a hobby anymore- more like a 2nd full time job, but Jim and I run a small non-profit Italian Greyhound rescue in Tulsa, which means there are always between 9 and 12 (average) dogs in the house, in various states of socialization.
I am also a voracious reader, and love to cook and bake. I knit when I just want to do something comforting, without having to think about it.

My main activity is quilting but I have also become interested in researching my family history. There is Mom's side, Dad's side, and ex-husband's too. Mom came here from Brazil in 1927. Last winter, my youngest and I went there to learn more about immigration. Mom's family came to Brazil from Austria. Fascinating!

First love is microbiology, I collect and play with bacteria. (And am still alive all these years, go figure LOL) I love to do computer programming, but it's time intensive so don't do much anymore. Sometimes sew, knit, crochet, do counted cross-stitch and plastic canvas. Have 2 freshwater tropical aquariums. Just started quilting.

I am also a knitter, scrapbooker and rubber stamper. I love to read, collect Dept 56 Christmas Houses, I am a bird watcher and genealogist. I love traveling to lighthouses, garage saling and dabble in jewelry making. I have 2 golden retrievers (both females ages 12 & 13), I am addicted to this site. I have learned so much and know I am a better quilter because of the information you all share! Thank You!

Rosy, what a fun topic!!!
There are 3 things that jump to my mind as favs:
Quilting, reading, downloading music.
I have several Ipods and have my favorite audiobooks and songs on them. I am a computer nut- never dreamed I would be.
Constantly online it seems and more and more on this board!
I love it so much!!!
I also love to knit when the mood hits. I love doing crossword puzzles. I love watching the Yankees all season- I rarely miss a game!!
My husband and I love antiques and used to collect but now are getting to the point where we don't have any more room for things!!!
I could go on and on but I won't........ You get the picture!
I used to love growing African violets but one of my cats ate the flowers as soon as they bloomed :(
She's a keeper so the violets will return someday!!! I loved starting new ones from the originals.
Oh, another thing I love to do is dry flowers in silica gel- LOL I'm still writing!!!!!!!!!! Ok, DONE!!! :D
