I love photography and ghost town (and photography OF ghost towns!). I love travelling as well (and photography of my travels haha). Painting canvases with positive mantras and She Girls, card making, scrapbooking, reading and movies.

I mostly stamp/make cards. I took up cross stitching at the start of quarantine, and I'm working on getting into a planner as more of a journal than a calendar.

Reading. I really need some more hobbies. I tried to teach myself to crochet at the beginning of the shelter in place, but I was doing so much computer work my hands and eyes were tired by the end of the night. I need to try again.

I read a lot - 2 to 3 books a week. I walk at least an hour a day. I do jigsaw puzzles. I do the daily crossword puzzle at the Washington Post and the daily KenKen puzzles on the NYT. I crochet and knit. I sew when I need to but don’t really enjoy it. I like to travel, but that has been put on hold.
I used to scrapbook and do counted cross-stitch but I haven’t picked up either in years.
I would like to try drawing/painting.

I have lots of hobbies but many of them are pretty much dormant.
First and foremost is scrapbooking. I love it and scrap as often as I can. Scrapbooking overwhelms my entire house.
I love historical garb, wearing it, making it, reading about it, looking at it. I have a large collection of historic costume books and I do volunteer at historic sites and events.
Reading - I love to read. I read about a book a day when I have time. Lately it has been on the kindle.
I like spinning fibers, embroidery, sewing, but I don't do it much right now
Thrifting - I love thrift shops. I spend lots of time thrifting, and lately online on Facebook marketplace, poshmark, ebay...
Collecting - it is a hobby of mine. I collect vintage and antique Christmas ornaments and decorations, willow tree mother and child, bride dolls, vintage dolls, and some vintage clothes and baby items and other small collections as things appeal to me. I have small collections of sleds and children's ice skates.
Folk Art painting and making intricate dressed doll ornaments in historic costumes. I used to sell them at craft shows.
Photos - not photography per se but taking photos of my life, collecting old photos, editing, sharing.... Lots of time on this and got Photoshop for Christmas and haven't used it. I think it only has 7 months left on it :-(
Genealogy - I spend a lot of time with this online when I am in the mood. I have been interested my entire life and joined Ancestry.com when it first came out. Sometimes I code for them when I run into a bunch of walls on my own tree.
If I think of something else I will edit my post. Sometimes people list stuff that I remember I do that too.

I love to bake, geocache/trail walks, explore my new area by visiting different burroughs/townships, and listen to country music. I also got an Instant Pot recently so I enjoy researching recipes to cook for my bf.

I do jigsaw puzzles, play Animal Crossings, sort of knit(I need a lot of practice). I used to scrapbook a lot, but haven't done it in a few years, though I make the occasional card. I love to paint, but haven't been painting. Baking is one of my favorite things to do, but I don't bake during the summer months, due to the heat. Finally, I'm a bookworm.

I quilt, scrapbook, and have started cross stitching again. I also like to read. I am re-reading Dana Stabenow’s Kate Shugak series.

Currently I am quilting, sewing and needlepoint. I also dabble with genealogy. This year I have added armchair travel to my hobbies since international travel is off the table for 2020. Lots of other hobbies in the past that I think about taking up again (knitting, crochet, weaving, digital scrapbooking), but never get around to. loom weaving (although not really a home activity.) Sure it is! Says the woman with a 36" floor loom sitting in her study. There are table top looms (with or w/o floor stands), rigid heddle looms, folding looms. Check out the options here - Weaving Looms. If you enjoyed it, then look into one of the small looms.

Scrapbooking, cardmaking, reading, board games. I miss playing boardgames. We do play online, though, which is almost as good.

Playing with my husband is my #1 hobby. After that comes genealogy, sewing, gardening and refurbishing chairs. I have a thing for old junk store chairs.

Reading, crochet and knitting daily though during the pandemic, I’ve ordered supplies for drawing, watercolor, and journaling. Plus, I just bought a sewing machine and received a shipment of quilting fabric. I’d like to start making my own project bags and small home decor things, like pillows and wall quilts.

I'm in grad school right now so no real hobbies to speak of at the moment. Reading is my #1 love. I'm in 2 different bookclubs so I try really hard to get those 2 books read every month. I used to read 1-2 books per week. I love photography and traveling/planning trips, cooking and baking. I love to decorate, kayak, hike and I weirdly LOVE to budget and do consider it a hobby.

Maybe I should have phrased that as i'm not sure i'm that competent with it so doing it at home seems like a huge challenge. I feel like I could use some guidance...but I should probably just look up some videos and go for it. Every time dd has an issue doing something with her silhouette we figure it out through videos so I could weave this way too i'm sure

Apparently working is my hobby. After that, cleaning the house. With the 12.2 free minutes each week I try to squeeze in some Lego building, robotics, Animal Crossing and other video games, gearing up to start scrapping again, creating stop motion Lego video, playing my French Horn and photography.
