What Are Your Hobbies ?

i also love to read. i read really fast so a book a day is no hardship to me. in the winter i like to crochet and my mil is showing me how to sew on her machine and tonight i just finished a dress pattern for my little yorkie Whiskey. my youngest daughter has a skirt made of the same pattern (she is cow crazy) so now she has a matching outfit with her puppy!!! it is so cute it is black and white....might make her some little horns(whiskey) and she can be a cow for halloween!!! i also like to work in the yard and plant flowers although i admit i do not have a green thumb but i am trying!!! now i have become a forum addict....this is my hubby's conmputer and when he comes home from offshore he veggies out on it...i think there might be a knock down drag out fight if i don't get my four hour fix everyday!!! i also make homemade candles-extra strong....i love candles and realized one day how much $$$ i was spending on them and said to myself...i'll make my own!!! i've gotten pretty good at it even sold a lot of them...plus my house always smells delicious!!! i also like to cross stitch though it makes me go cross-eyed!!!

Oh, well, besides YorkieTalk, I love to read and go for walks (at least 2 x's/day). I'm in the process of rediscovering myself after making a pretty big career change though, so, perhaps I'll have more by next year!

I've enjoyed reading about all of your hobbies, your a pretty diverse bunch!

Not much time for hobbies, guess for now,

Fitness
Baking
(those two don't go together very well)
4Womentalk.com
My Harley (though it's been a while since I've ridden)

Most of my time is work, cleaning, washing, and church related activities. I teach children's Bible class, and also do some teaching of women. I spoke at a Ladies' Day we had in January. We have a ladies' retreat coming up the end of October, and I an writing the lesson for one of the sessions. My church work is by far the most rewarding.

i love candles too and have been thinking of making some .Don't know exactly how .I went by MICHAELS and looked at all the supply's they sell to make them .It was a little confusing,i really didn't know where to start.And it is pretty expensive to buy all they say you need .So i left again to give it another try after i figure out just how to start.I can't afford to buy a bunch of stoff that i may not really need.Any advice?

i tried to use some of the supplies they sell at michaiel's and hobby lobby but with the prices-no way could i keep going that route so i just got on google and typed in candlemaking. i have been ordering from websites ever since. i think the only thing that i use that i bought from michael's was the metal pitcher and the thermometer. i buy my wax, dye , and fragrance from lonestartcandlesupply.com -live their french market f.o.!!! and alot of my other fragrance oil i buy from aroma haven.com but you might be able to find some websites located in your state so the shipping and handling won't be as high. and as for the candle jars i buy whatever glass votives are on sale at walmart. it'll run you anywhere from about 75 to 100$ to get all your supplies but once you have them you can make at least 10 to 15 candles easily.
