Whats your Hobby

[skipthisone]

Do you have a hobby (outside of pixies), what is your relaxation??? Tell us, show us>>

Here is mine

[Devillishgirl]

This is a little bit more like an addiction than a hobby..but hey, whatever works(this was fresh....it's full of color now with more to come)

[skipthisone]

That is very, very nicely done, thats fantastic

[Devillishgirl]

Thank you, thank you...well wait, I suppose my artist should be taking the praise eh? I need to get more pics done..since it's in full color now. Watercolors..blue body, purple and orange wings, fuscia hair and pale yellow eyes with pale green lips. She'll be part of a full fantasy-themed back piece

Love the garden.......it's what I do at home in my free time(when I'm not snwering to cries of MOMOMOMOMOMOMOM)

[Summer]

This is our family hobby and one of my personal favorites. ;)
-Summer :D

[Boru]

EEEEEK! The no-face family!!!! Just kidding summer! Nice pic!

My hobby is games! I love 'em! Computer games, war games, board games, kids games, all of the above! I do have a special place for board wargames, especially WWII in the pacific and the U.S. Civil War.

Ok, now here is MY FAVORITE HOBBY! She even purrs! ;)
-Summer :D

[Murphy]

My favorite hobbies are, playing my guitar or piano, and playing with the woodwork and trim in my house.

[Grumble]

well I will be bug-gered Summer LOL

[Nikki]

My hobbies are......shopping, shopping and shopping...and in that order.......hehehe

Seriously.............playing the piano, reading and anything thats unusal or mysterious.

[Coach Knight]

It would appear that my hobby is abbreviations, you decide:


MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, PGA

Oh and on Sunday nights, don't even think about bothering me if this in on:

[Clint]

TATTOOS!!! I have posted a picture of my favorite one that I have. It is the smallest one that I have, but it's still my favorite :D It's a shamrock on the inside of my left wrist.

*Clint

The show that comes on after that is the one that has my rapt attention...Six Feet Under. Those need to come out on DVD

[Sugarsprinkles]

I have quite a few hobbies and never seem to spend enough time on any one of them since I've gotten a computer and especially since I've discovered Pixies :D.......

1. Quilting
2. Crochet
3. Researching Family History
4. Taking pics of my family and cats
5. Collecting cookbooks and recipes
6. Knitting
7. Sewing
8. Collecting fabric (She who dies with the most fabric WINS!:D)

[PammiAnn]

ok, no one else has mentioned this hobby, I am diehard NASCAR fan. Of course Jeff Gordon is my all time favorite driver. And the tattoo pics that have been posted are awsome. I have 3 of them myself. When I get a digital cam I will post some pics of mine. My other hobbies are reading, baking, cooking and the biggest one of all is just spending time with the family.

[Neige]

My favourite hobby is cross-stitch. At the moment I'm working on a carousel horse, and this is a pic of my next project.

[Neige]

OK, I'll try posting the pic again.

I think the kids look just like mom!:D
I happen to know there are other peddlers in the pixie family. I was a founding member of the Keel-Haulers Canoe Club out of Elyria Ohio.

Being an old bull, I’ve walked over a number of hills and have had a few hobbies that I just dabble with now.

I did a lot of wilderness camping at one time. Now primitive camping is the “assigned plot” without the electric hook-up and shower:confused:.

Think I was one of the last certified “two-hose” SCUBA divers. The Great Lakes aren’t the most interesting place for diving unless you’re doing research. Wreck diving is too expensive and ice diving was too dangerous for somebody with a young family at the time. But I enjoyed the hell out of it:).

I can use an 8” telescope with an equatorial mount that isn’t motor driven or computer controlled. Hubble gets me better pictures than I ever took and are so available now with our internet. Getting harder to find sky that’s not ambient light washed but I still drag it out once in a while;).

I use to expose a LOT of film and even got luck a few times taking some prizes in photo competitions. Lost interest after loosing a camera bag with two Nikon bodies and half dozen Nikore lenses:mad:. When the bitter taste started to fade, digital was getting to be real and have enjoyed this because of the dark room capabilities without the space and high costs.

I took my son to play paintball for his birthday once and ended up owning one of the better fields for 6 years. Had 4-1/2 acres of old factory property where we had “Urban Paintball” games that drew players from 5 states on a regular basis. Once it becomes a business you don’t get to play. You can see I have to be careful what I get interested in:rolleyes:.

I guess the age is starting to show as now my main hobbies are fly fishing and shooting some 9-ball when I have a chance:cool:.
And of course Pixies.

That’s all for now. It’s so hard to be serous.:D

[me_carl]

Here is a pic of a recent project that believe it or not is about one third done at this point.

That's an awesome hobby. Do you have any more pictures of stuff like that?

[scotzoidman]

Surfing for porn takes up most of my time now...
But before I had a computer, and before family obligations demanded I give it up, you could find me gettin high on Testor's paints & glue, recreating scale models of my favorite classic cars...sadly, the results are here, collecting dust in the basement...

[Boru]

i love VW's Back in '90 I owned a gorgeous VW SuperBeetle. I miss that car more than almost anything else I have ever known....Great pics!!!


No other gamers out there? I am surprised.

BORU

[Reverend Silky]

yeah, i game.

[legend]

probably looking after the roses. we have 49 of them. i might post a pic of them if i remember.

[roxanne916]

My hobby is collecting Barbie dolls! Between my ex's in Mississippi and up here, I have over 200 never removed from mint box dolls. I mainly collect the cheaper dolls, 25$- and below. I do have many of the Happy Holiday Barbies, not '88, which is worth over 1,000$. That was my one shopping regret. I had the doll in my hand then was called away and I put her down. <still have the marks from kicking myself for doing that LOL>.

Cool thread. If I sort my dolls and have the cam on, i will take a pic of all the boxes of dolls I have.

[Sassy Rose]

I have many hobbies including playing online cribbage and a few other games but my biggest hobbies include outdoor photography and floral crafts. Since I couldn't decide which outdoor photo I liked best I will post a pic of one of the birdcages I've done. I don't have one for myself as I have either given them to charities for fund raisers or as gifts to family and friends *LOL*

[Sassy Rose]

Ok, so you can tell I'm a newbie *L* here's the pic.....

I am glad you liked them ;). I know I sure do!
-Summer :D

[legend]

Sassy Rose, I just read that you play cribbage. I used to play that all the time, but I have't played that for so long, I can't even remember how to play it. I remember having a crib board and using two toothpicks to keep score.

[freddy_2000]

ok here is mine and Midnight kiss's hobby.
Sassy i like the cage i have one too but mine has bird's in it.

[dicksbro]

Not real good at it, but I've been playing around some with photography. I do enjoy that.

[freddy_2000]

That is an awson pic dicksbro.

[dicksbro]

Thanks, Freddy. It was a beautiful, foggy morning that I just couldn't resist ...

By the way, welcome to Pixies! Hope you enjoy yourself! I think it's a great site to spend some time at. :)

[Sassy Rose]

legend, it's great fun hon, if you ever want a lesson let me know...I play online.

Freddy, thanks, if you notice there's a bird in that one too..hehe, although not real :)

Dicksbro, awesome pic...I've got some that's I'm proud of too, here's a sunset that had me running in the house then back out in the street :p

[dicksbro]

Sassy Rose, that is a great picture. I used to start work early and the window to my office faced the rising sun. Sometimes the sunrise was simply spectacular. Wished I could have had a camera in the office.

Thanks for the compliment on "fog." :)

[Sugarsprinkles]

Loved your pic too, dicksbro, and yours too, Sassy Rose!

Speaking of sunrises....when I was visiting Murphy I was able to use his computer when he was at work. His computer desk is in his loft and there are 2 windows that face East right in front of the desk. A few mornings I was at his computer and watched the most gorgeous sunrises over the Ozarks! Simply breathtaking!!

[Sassy Rose]

Thanks to you both dicksbro and Sugarsprinkles. I think that is one of the greatest things about photography, sharing the beauty with others.

~Sassy

[m45]

dicksbro and Sassy Rose I must say I like both of those pics.
both have 3rds to them, for ground and back ground.
Very Nice..

That is one of the hobbys I have and I also do that for one of the jobs I work..

I have 1000's of pics from snow capped peaks to hot summers and more.

Here is a small taste taken from my back door to the North.
Yes this is what I have to look at from the back door and the office window..

[m45]

Ok so I need to add the photo
enjoy...

[dicksbro]

M45, that is one terrific view and a very nice picture to boot. With a view like that, how would a person ever get work done :D

[dicksbro]

Here's one more I took from our kitchen window using the camera's zoom that you may enjoy. Our little friend was checking out some bird seed we had put out.

Had to use a zoom so I didn't startle him.

[m45]

That little guy is watching you.
Sometimes it is hard to get anything done.
Today is 1/2 clear with HUGH white puffy clouds.

[Sassy Rose]

Very nice photos, both of you :)

[Anaiss]

You really want to know about my hobbies?? Where do I start? Well.... I suppose apart from sex....lol.
I love to paint, although since I have my website and got addicted to web design, I rarely have the time... Here are two of them (my whole apartment is full of my pictures...:p )
http://www.anaissonline.com/spanishkitchen.jpg
http://www.anaissonline.com/snowtree.jpg
But my biggest hobby, if you can call it that, is this gorgeous little thing, who is the only "man" who has never disappointed me:
http://www.anaissonline.com/patu.jpg
Apart from all this, I love to cook, gardening (in my terrace high over the roofs of Barcelona), entertaining good friends, making love.....did I mention making love? :yellghst:

[freddy_2000]

I took this one around the 4th of july and thought i would share it.

ok will try the pic again.

[dicksbro]

Great looking paintings, Anaiss, and a very nice looking cat! I majored in art and have a BFA degree, but, unfortunately, I haven't done anything with that for years. Ended up with a career in data processing with a major company. Hope to start again now that I'm retired, but a few things to get done first.

[Anaiss]

Thanks dicksbro, well, sure you will get around to it, once you have settled to retirement...as I said, I love to paint, but to tell the truth, "painting" with the computer mouse and paintshoppro is nearly just as satisfying as painting with crayons or brushes... at least for me.:)

[freddy_2000]

ok lets see if it works this time.

[dicksbro]

Came out good, Freddy. Usually don't have great luck with fireworks. Seem to lose a lot of their sparkle or something. This was a nice pic.

[freddy_2000]

Thank you

that makes me feel good comming from some one that is more Professional than me.

[m45]

Anaiss very nice paintings...
The snow tree is awsome.
Looked around your site also, wish I could read whatever the languge is...

Freddy nice fire works...

[Lilith]

beside Pixies is herb gardening but with all the rain the gardens are a wreck. So I will share my other gardening love which is water gardens. I have had as many as 3 at one time before different sizes and styles. The up keep can be hell and the owl kept eating all the fish from the big pond so I have settled for a tiny one in the front for now... I am still working on it.. I have slate pieces to cover the edges of the plastic liner but it has been too hot here to be that ambitious. I told skip one day that my Lilly finally bloomed and he reminded me to go get pics :) TY.... Rev/Uncle this is why I dig it when you call me Lillypad!

[FussyPucker]

WOW lilith they're beautiful !!!! great hobby
now all I gotta do is get a hobby n post about it lol

[dicksbro]

Lil, nice lillies! Your water gardens look terrific. I have a hard time keeping plastic flowers blooming :)

[skipthisone]

always nice to see your wet lilly's lilith

[underthedog]

motorcycles are my hobby...... there is almost no thrill greater!!!!! this is my baby.....before she dumped me and went under a guard rail......

[Sugarsprinkles]

I really didn't think to include a picture of any of my hobbies in my original post on this thread. :(
So here's one of a wall-hanging Imachine-pieced and hand-appliqued for a quilt class I took.

[dicksbro]

Sweet, sugar, very sweet :) At work before I retired literally dozens of us went together and put together a quilt of memories for a friend who was diagnosed and subsequently passed away from cancer. My wife also knew the person and helped me get "our" section put together. He loved the quilt and treasured it dearly. Quilt making is a great hobby and homemade quilts can truly be a special gift!

[KingMinotaur]

My hobbies ? Besides being online ? ..lmmfao ok :

I like to write poetry and the occaisonal short story ; reading ( I have a diverse taste inliterature ) ; playing darts ( yes , I AM that good.. once put all 3 in the double-cork , hehehe ) ; fantasy football ; following and cheering for my favorite team ( ever since I was about 7 ? : The new England Patriots ! Last season I felt.. vindicated 8O) ) ; and .. SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX eating pussy rules !

[Thinker]

My hobby? Well thinking! Duh! ;)

[SOULMINER]

This is a little gift I made for the woman I love...the FIRST
gift actually (if you don't count the flowers I "borrowed"
from a streetside Cafe :D)
This is by far the smallest, most delicate piece, I've ever made.
I usually do much larger furniture projects, but this was the most
meaningful one I've ever built.....

[woodie]

I have to say this is one diverse group of folks here at Pixies!

I have different hobbies depending on the season:

Winter - Skiing (Nordic, Alpine and best of all Telemark), snowshoeing, Winter Mountaineering and Winter Camping (No Bugs and NO people, the way camping should be!) and of course lots of generating heat with the one I love!

Summer - Cycling (unmotorized), hiking, climbing, sailing, kayaking and thanks to my dad, Auto Racing (participating not watching)

[SOULMINER]

Rebirth to an old thread....
Tables and dresser I made as a wedding gift for my sister
and her new husband!!!
Solid cherry, oil finish...very simple

[Scarlett]

Reading.

[Lorelei]

Writing, especially poetry. I love reading too. Though I don't consider it a "hobby", many people do.

[BlondBabe]

Well I have quite a few hobbys, My number one would be Rodeo. I do it every weekend. Barrel racing normally, but if i'm in the mood I do bullride. :D Another one of my hobbies is rebuilding motors for my trucks I restore. A 79 Ford F-250 4x4, it was the first one i actually rebuilt...a 460 v-8 (which i'm very proud of). It's my baby, i did put a lift under it (9 inches with 18x44 mudders) when i get the time i take it to mudslings and win money off of it. Another hobby would be motorcross, i have a four wheeler that i used to race professionally, but got out of that and mostly trail ride up in the woods mostly. Love to hunt and fish to! That about wraps it up i think......lol :p

[Nikki]

Sports - watching and playing......................

Summer..............beach volleyball and softball..........

Winter................netball

plus......music and reading (especially in bed)...............

[Pussy Willow]

I make country crafts.....

Baskets, wreaths, little scented sleep pillows, door hangers etc.

I also make up gift baskets and make quilted albums for special
occassions. (I never could spell that correctly)

I also write children's stories and High Fantasy stories.

Fantasy as in ---Dragons, magic, fairies etc.
(considering where I'm posting this , I felt it best to clarify that.

I'm also beginning to get into writing erotic stories, but more on
the romantic side.

Thanks for asking!!!!!

[Murphy]

I have enjoyed reading about everybodies hobbies. And Thank-you Soulminder for reviving this thread with your wonderfull examples. If I can find it, I'm posting a pic of the railings I made for the loft in my house...

[Kentuckyguy]

I have started rebuilding a rare 1960 IH Tractor

[Uncle Silky]

i carry my hobby around on my skin.

[DallasLiving]

Just found this old thread, so thought that I would revive it a little. Got a couple of examples of one of my hobbies from over the years. Hate when I get to busy to do it right now, but maybe someday again.

[DallasLiving]

Another

[DallasLiving]

Hopefully I won't make people fall asleep with these. LMAO

[DallasLiving]

Okay, only 4 more. 2 more on paper and the last two are of a project a friend was trying to get me to work on. Unfortunately never finished the project for the last two.

[DallasLiving]

and another................

[DallasLiving]

A little different. But will be cool if I ever finish it.

[DallasLiving]

another view of it.........

[BlueSwede]

DallasLiving, I love your work! It's truly beautiful. :)

[Sharni]

I agree with ya BlueSwede

Excellent work Dallas!

[BlueSwede]

Before my 2nd child was born, I made stained glass windows, painted Norwegian rosemaling, cross-stitched, and collected wild edible plants (a good excuse to be outdoors and in the woods). Didn't have a chance to do much of anything once she came along. I also read everything nonfiction that I could get my hands on. Today I still read all the time; my favorite area to read and apply is Myers-Briggs personality theory. Oh, and I used to collect old cartoons on VHS, none older than mid to late '50s.

[DallasLiving]

Thank you both.
And I know how you feel, BlueSwede. Real life just intrudes to much on our fun. My drawings used to be my way of relaxing. Hmmmmmm, maybe that is why I seem so strung out at times, no time to relax lately. Or hell, maybe it is just the lack of sex. LMAO

[kleclere]

I see we have sometime in common Dallas. Used to draw to relieve stress now haven't got time to do it any more to much stress. Hope all is well on your end.

[hellsbells]

I paint watercolours, I cannot post many as they have been scanned and are very big files. But here is one that I took with a camera.
I painted it for Horseman12, its his palamino, he has the painting now.

[Sharni]

Beautiful work hellsbells!!

[MilkToast]

what a great cross section of hobbies... excellent...

in my spare time I am getting into photography (mainly trains) and I shoot sporting clays (though I am not very good at it)...

[Lilith]

I've started making jewelry.....

[Lilith]

it's both costly and addictive:p

[BlueSwede]

Very nice! I especially like the red and tiger's eye. :)

[BlondeCurlGirl]

I'll be anxious to be able to read for pleasure again, once school is done and I no longer have to look at a frigging textbook...

Since I got a nice camera for my birthday last year, I would like to try experimenting with some outdoor photography.

I also enjoy writing poetry and would like to now revise a novella that I wrote in high school.

College has taken up so much of my time that now I'll hopefully have time to start up some hobbies!

[denny]

I am an avid reader and music afficianado. However, work and family conspire to deprive me of the time for both. But I enjoy my children and their activities, so it's fair to say they are my main hobby currently.

[Deno]

I fuss around with the ol' 66 Cuda. I don't have any exterior shots handy, but you can look at the engine.. and yes, it does need a lot of work still. :p

[darogle]

My hobby is photography

[darogle]

...and abstract photography

[Loulabelle]

I do all sorts of things (like making soap and other cosmetics from scratch, any kind of cooking, dancing etc) but the hobby that is really in my blood is acting.

Will be on stage all next week performing a 40 minute monologue.....just me......the stage and the audience......perrrrrrrrrfect. :D

[PantyFanatic]

This thread has been so interesting, it deserves a revisit. Maybe we can get updates on some of the projects and hobbies that have been in progress. I think we have enough new Pixie citizens that can add to and take from this to warrant a goodBUMP. :)

[Sugarsprinkles]

RE-BUMP


This is how I spent my New Year's Eve. An online group I belong to did this project together beginning at 9 a.m. on NYE. We had no idea what it would look like ahead of time. We got partial instructions in advance and then every hour one more bit of instruction was posted until we got the final "clue" and put it all together.

[PantyFanatic]

Very neat Sugar. :)

Now you have 11 months to work out how we can do something like that next year with a Pixie theme.;)

[skyler_m]

I really enjoy doing wood working and wood carving. My carvings are mostly for Christmas, and I focus on Santas. Here are some of mine that I've done!

[Lilith]

Sounds like fun SS.

Skyler~ they are lovely! What do you paint them with?

[skyler_m]

Lilith, thanks. :D I just use a latex crafter's paint. nothing fancy. I usually dilute them about 50% with water so that you can tell it's real wood underneath. Occassionally, I'll coat them with a VERY diluted burnt umber paint to give them an aged look.

[Lilith]

Have you tried crackle medium? I have done a lot with it and love someof the results.

[nikki1979]

my main hobby is makin jewlry. but i also like to paint withthose window paints, im not good at that but i do enjoy it so what the hell right LOL when i find some pics ill post em

~nikki~

[skyler_m]

honestly, I may have to try that. thanks for the suggestion. *G*

here is one of my favorite ornaments that I've done

[Sugarsprinkles]

Beautiful work, skyler!!! Have you ever considered selling any of your work on e-bay??

[cowgirltease]

Well here's my pride and joy!!!!!:)

[osuche]

Reading and going to the gym mostly. I also (occasionally) perform Indian (dots, not feathers) classical dance and play jazz trombone.

[musketeer]

I love to read and do that most of the time but my main hobby is re-enactment of the English Civil War, I am an officer in y regiment have been doing it for 18 years. I have even been over to the USA to re-enact an actual English Civil War related battler that took place in Annapolis. Heres a link to me in costume at a small event. The pic was taken a couple of years ago before I lost some weight.

[PantyFanatic]

A couple serious doer's -----^


Very interesting.:)

[wyldchyld]

i've rediscovered counted cross stitch. my mom taught me how to do it back in elementary school when she was working for a well known artist. in the past couple of months, i've made 1.5 christmas presents along with 2 pictures for myself to hang on the wall and have another one i want to do that goes along with that series. i loooove to read (it's great having to read the first 15 min of every class every friday at work), sleep, talk, hang out with my friends when i get a chance, watch movies when i can stay awake and trying to keep myself sane at the moment.

[Booger]

is pervin a hobby if so I would have to say pervin
