show me your hobbies! In pictures!

[joce]

Since my biggest is probably mt my little pony collection I'll start with that!
These are old pics, haven't collected as much since I got real horses again. My basement is literally full though. I have hosted a meet before and have spent more hours that I care to admit poking around flea markets(we drive all the way to rogers ohio(last exit before pa) in the summer on fridays to go to this huuuge flea market. Basically across the state for me. But I like the hunt and ebay just doesn't do it for me.

I also collect breyers and pretty much anything else that is/or has a horse on it. I started collecting old horse paintings and pictures in the last year or so. Don't have enough for a good pic but its coming slowly along.

I am going down to the equine affair this thursday and they always have amazing things in their booths their!

which leads to another hobby-the real horses.
My crazy doug and our old mory-better known as m horse cause mory is a crappy name. M horse was very underweight when we got her. While I have no new pics she looks amazing now! We tried everything and finally after we added the focus sr(I wasn't one to believe that highly in supplements) she is doing great!

Also love cars but we have gotten rid of all our toys. We still have a spec v but its just not the same!The bf still goes to norwalk and still helps his friends with the hondas but it doesn't encompass our whole lives anymore!

We used to compete when chaz worked for a stereo shop and that died kinda hard so I am still a little nutty about my stereo. Nothing great right now though-I am really trying to stop!

And we can't forget the dogs! But no room for pics in this post!

I did do photography but after digital cameras came out I got point and shoot and it sucked and now my batterys wont stay charged on any of them and i'm just frustrated so they sit.

Ryan... the scenery in those pics looks an awful lot like Skyline Drive to me... is it? If I'm right then holy crap I'm good lol.

Anyways... I don't have time to dig up photos right now, but I'll try to remember later. My hobbies consist of, but no limited to:

photography
painting
sketching
scrapbooking
Writing poetry, short stories etc
Journaling
Kayaking
Hiking
Music- I'm friends with some VERY talented musicians btw
Agility
Facebook (does that count as a hobby?)
Dogs
Horses (mainly barrel racing)
crafts- aka making things with wood and paint etc

I'll think of more...

Okay... aside from my pets, here are my hobbies in no particular order

Collar-making

Morgan Collars has turned into a pretty big hobby for me. It's hands-on, it's creative, and it's yet another way to connect with my dog! Always a good thing, I say. It is also something that has really allowed me to grow and expand my horizons a bit, and given me some extra confidence.


Clarinet

My clarinet has always been an important hobby for me, enough so that I tried to make music a career. While that didn't exactly work out, I still play quite a bit for various things. I can play many other instruments, but none nearly as well or that speak to me the same way my clarinet does.


Photography

My current interest in photography is pet portraits. It's something that I think I have been fairly successful with in the short time I've been learning to use my camera. I like to try my hand at a lot of different things, of course, but the pet portraits have just been some of my best work so far.


Drawing

It's been a while since I've really done any drawing, though I still consider it an important part of myself. I have been trying to get back into it, but I really have been stuck as of late. As a result, my abilities have faded somewhat... I used to have so many characters that I would draw on a regular basis, with their own stories and personalities... Mostly I just stick to pencil and colored pencil, but I had learned to do some coloring with Photoshop as well.


Crochet/Knitting

(image from Google search)
I started crochet when I was pretty young. I never made anything particularly interesting. Lots of scarfs, several doll-sized blankets, doll clothes, and even some stuffed toys (I actually have a pretty cool otter that I made... need to get a picture of it). I'm pretty much self-taught, and I've never used a pattern while crocheting, so nothing I've made ever looks very "finished". I have more recently picked up knitting, but haven't done a whole lot with it.


Puppetry

(image from Google search)
Puppeteering is something I hardly do anymore. In fact, most of my puppets are packed away, or I would have taken my own picture with them. I used to make a lot of my own puppets. Hand puppets, marionettes, shadow puppets, I tried them all... but mostly I liked performing with hand puppets and building marionettes. I was much more involved with this while I was in middle/high school... and I would like to again. I'm just not sure were to start over.


And last, but not least, my two biggest hobbies/obsessions:

Stuffed animals

This may not look like a lot, but trust me (and ask my husband), this is only a fraction of my current stuffed animal collection... and an even SMALLER fraction of the collection I used to have. I never really intended to "collect" plush toys. It just kind of happened. I really cannot control myself when stuffed animals are involved.

PS: My crochet otter is here! Second shelf from the bottom, far left.


Foxes

The first picture is a zoom in on my stuffed animal tower... those two shelves are all foxes. The second picture is part of the knick-knack setup on my dresser. Believe me, there are WAY more... jewelry, artwork, figurines, refrigerator magnets, lawn ornaments, postcards, books, etc. etc. etc... It's just that my foxes are all scattered about the house and not in any one place. You can see that there are Robin Hood characters (the Disney animated version, of course), and I have the entire collection of old kids books from that movie. Most of my drawings and characters are fox-inspired, too. So yeah, foxes are a big deal to me. LOL!





Ummmmmmmm... I think that's it. All the major ones, anyways.
