I dabble in lots of things, but most often I read, sketch, paint, and sew. These days, my sewing is more art/craft related than clothing, but when my kids were little I made many of their outfits.

Does playing on the computer and watching TV count? That takes up the majority of my free time I do read as well

Apart from Peaing obviously, I read, I go Nordic Walking and I belly dance. Also currently I am helping my DD source things for her wedding and going to appts with her to see florists etc We do a fair bit of TV watching too, especially in the winter.

Oh I know I am forgetting something. There are never enough hours in the day.

Reading, spend lots of time surfing the web. I play the guitar and mandolin, and sing with a group of fellow musicians at various jams and other venues, I love my music! I scrapbook a bit and make some jewelry, mostly beaded bracelets and necklaces. I have a bunch of cross stitch stuff stashed but haven't done any for a long time.
I walk for exercise and enjoy taking my camera with me when I'm out and about.

I made a huge double pot hanger for mil, didn't even want to tie my shoes for a while after that project! As Patter said above, just not enough hours in the day!

Would love to learn stain glass, but I just haven't taken a course I took a semester long class in college back in the 80's.....I loved it but it was a very tedious process, expensive (depending on the glass you choose) and very hard on your hands (cuts from the glass, burns from the solder). I made a gorgeous window for the apartment I was living in at the time (it was removable) and I had that thing for years until it finally broke during one of my moves. My hobbies today are gardening, reading and crafting. ETA - I forgot....college sports too.....football and basketball, specifically the Iowa Hawkeyes

I scrapbook.
I also read a lot (everyday). But I never considered that a hobby. It's just something I've done since I was a very little girl.

I would have to say scrapbooking ( mainly project life with some 12x12 layouts thrown in) reading ( at the moment anything by James Patterson or Dean Koontz) playing solitaire on the iPad ( is that a hobby??? ) learning how to use my digital camera properly ( instead of having it set on auto all the time ).

Photography is my biggest one but lately I haven't been able to find my mo-jo. This happens to me every so often and I just don't feel like picking up my camera.
I started running 4 months ago - not sure if people consider that a hobby but it is time consuming. I like to read and listen to audio books,

I've been in school Forever. Just fi dined grad school in May. Not sure I remember what my hobbies were... I use to scrapbook....
Now I do puzzles and surf the Internet and watch tv. I also like to cook. I'm tired when I get home from work and commute so I don't do too much! I also love playing with my dogs.

I like to buy books to read. You know, like my scrapbook stuff that is still mostly untouched. It does make me very happy to have a great stack of books on hand.
My iPad or iPhone is usually glued to my hand, depending on which needs charging.
Watching pro sports. Hockey and football are my favorite. Go Pens.
I can sew and crochet, but haven't in a while. I recently redid some wreaths that turned out quite good. I put one on my fence outside and one in my bedroom.

Glass, baby, glass! I have 2 kilns and glass is my passion. I'm mostly a Spectrum 96 user, but also dabble in Bullseye 90. No suppliers near where I live, so I mostly buy from AAE in Florida, Slumpy's in NC and Armstrong in GA. There's hardly a week but a big box arrives from one of my suppliers.

I dabble in a bunch of different kinds of crafts. but my 3 favorite is coloring scrap booking and making cards. The nice thing is that all three of them go well together.
I truly only got into water colors and acrylics to learn how to paint wood carvings. I do like to paint and I have used paints for many different crafts in the past 20000000 years.
I love showing kids new to them crafts. And I love to watch them create something out of a few miscellaneous items.
I have sewn in my life for many different reasons. I don't consider myself a sewer but I do dabble in it. My brand new sewing machine is one of my prize possessions and my cricut is my other prize possession. I still haven't sewn on my new machine and it is 18 months old. But I will get to the point where I will be able to learn how to use it.
I love paper, adhesive, glue, wood and scissors. As long as I have those I am happy and can create almost anything.

Of all my interests, my addiction to surfing the net has taken over most of my spare time, sadly.
I am a hobbyist costumer - I sew simple garb for live action role play. I get paid but a nominal amount for the work I put into it because my skill is not very good. I have a huge collection of historic costume books but I don't add to it anymore. I still love historic costume.
I spend time on ancestry.com and other genealogical sites. I really enjoy being able to add to my family tree. I have over 12,000 people on my tree but most of them are not directly related to me - someone married someone type of thing.
I scrapbook a whole lot. I love to scrapbook. I would do it everyday if I could. I have always been a collector of my life's memorabilia and photos.
Interesting question because I realize I used to have many cool hobbies that I no longer pursue. I still love to read but am too lazy to go to the library.
Someday I want to learn machine embroidery and do a little hobbyist side business.

I've never really considered reading a hobby, but I suppose it is. I've been reading a couple of hours a day every day since I was a little kid.
I used to be very into fresh and salt water aquariums. I had them all over and had several uncommon species. Sadly that hobby had to fall by the wayside a few years ago. I hope to be able to pick it back up again in the future.
Current hobbies are:
-Photography -Gardening, just a little bit -Scrapbooking -Horseback riding

Craft wise:
Scrapbooking. Card making. Altered projects. I've tried some art journaling. I'm starting to get into painting furniture. Not to sell just things I have already.
Other stuff:
Reading. I've always been a reader though so it will never be something I give up. Video games. I collect kids books but only certain series. Makeup but I got into phases with this.
ETA: forgot to add DH and I enjoy going off roading with our Jeep. We find places to go on the weekends sometimes.

Reading, orchid growing. Hair care is a deep interest- if not a hobby. I love trying out new stuff and making it look good. I also do a lot of "formal reading" as in I bring lots of technical writing that is related to my practice field and read and analyse it. I like to exercise my brain and games bore me. I do, however, play several match 3 games on my I-pad I like dancing but don't go out, so there's really no opportunity to do that very often. Music- love discovering new artists and golden oldies of the Hispanic romantic boleros.
