What are hobbies that you enjoy? I enjoy crocheting - for myself, family, friends and for charity. I just enjoy crocheting, as well as being satisfied with the finished product. I find crocheting relaxing and comforting. So, I get enjoyment out of doing my hobby, as well as being pleased (with most) of the finished items. What are your hobbies that you enjoy doing?

I like being here, writing, reading, singing and scrapbooking when I have the extra money to buy the supplies for the scrapbooking...

wow! I like scrapbooking as well, I thought it was an antique hobby these days because of the existence of instagram,facebook and sites where we can make online scrapbook. It's nice to hear that there are still people who enjoy traditional scrapbooking.

Oh no I much prefer to do it by hand than any other way. I think its much more creative this way! Unfortunately, its so darn expensive to get everything for it. All of the stickers, pages, markers, books, etc... So much money. I cannot wait to be able to do it again, hopefully soon! =)

My hobbies that I enjoy to make papercrafts, it's not scrapbooking or 2 dimensional origami but 3 dimensional papercrafts, well like one in my avatar. I also enjoy to play games, in particular otome games and RPG games. I also like to collect the cute things, I have a large number of collection of cute items in my house. They are greatly interest me.

I love to knit and crochet. I agree that these are relaxing things to do. I like to see the end result, too. I also like to read (sometimes I read 2 or 3 books in a week), listen to music, sew (although I've not done that for over a year), watch old movies and tv shows on hulu, and float around in cyberworld.

I like that expression: 'Floating around in cyberworld.' Sometimes I get lost in cyberspace but I like 'floating' better. My New Year's goal is to learn how to knit. Knitting and crocheting as well as other crafts are indeed relaxing.

I enjoy music and books most. I also like being on the internet surfing around and looking for materials to read. There is no finished product except for personal relaxation and enjoyment.

Sometimes, we do just have to kick back and totally relax. In the summer, I totally relax in the pool. In the winter, I relax in the hot tub. We don't always be needing to be doing something. I realize that it is important to just relax.

Hi I enjoy being in my Garden planting my vegetable patch. It give me great joy from planting the seed to reaping it and eventually cooking it. Home grown vegetables are the best to cook. The taste different to the supermarket ones. I also enjoy going for long drives observing the country as I go along.

My parents always had a garden. It was to save money but it also was my Dad's hobby. He really enjoyed working in the garden. I do like home grown vegetables. One time, my kids helped my parents pick green beans. And they kept eating beans while they were picking them. My mom tried to stop them from eating them. But then, we realized, why stop kids from eating fresh, raw garden vegetables. So, we let them pick and eat as many green beans as they wanted to. And they ate a lot of green beans. So healthy for them. And I was so glad they enjoyed the green beans from their Grandparent's garden. I also like going for drives in the country. I like taking the back roads.

I crochet mostly, but just recently, i have started loom knitting, which is very addicting. I like to see the finished product as well. I have a ministry in my church of crocheting baby layettes for new babies, and not only do the families like what i have done. I get a blessing from doing it. I taught myself how to crochet when I graduated from high school which was in 1966. i bought a learn how to crochet book, and taught myself the stitches from that, and I found it quite easy, and I have been doing it ever since. It is therapeutic, as i like working with my hands. I also enjoy being on the computer and doing things there as well. Take care, and have a great day.

I also do loom knitting. I saw a young woman making a Christmas scarf by loom knitting. It was a very light yarn and it really came out pretty and had a nice drape to it. Yes, I agree - knitting and crocheting are therapeutic. I also crochet and loom knit for charity. I crocheted 50 hats for the homeless this year. And also inspired others to knit or crochet hats for the homeless and that was a great feeling of achievement of giving to others.

Well, the first two things that I can think of that I like to do the most are that I love to read and write. However, I also really love to scrapbook. I would actually say that scrapbooking really is my favorite hobby. The reasons that I love scrapbooking so much is because of the fact that I am able to combine my love of writing with the fact that I really enjoy photography to make treasures that I can save for my friends, children and nieces when they get older.

I appreciate scrap booking but somehow, just can't get into it. But, I do want to electronically scan and record all my family photos - and 'tag' them or identify all the family members in the photos. Perhaps, make an electronic scrap book. I feel that is important because otherwise, my children won't know who some of the family members are from photos taken decades ago. I do think to make treasures for future generations is indeed priceless and important. I wish my parents and grandparents had written down their thoughts and inspirations and just what they did during important events in their lives. I am recording some of my thoughts and inspirations. I hope it can help my future generations.

I like reading a lot. I bring a book, ( not ebook ) magazine with me everytime. I don't want to keep my mind idle when I am on public transportation travelling nor when I am in a line paying bills or doing grocery. I like playing badminton and swimming but it is seldom that I can do it now. I love being online in facebook and here in myLot. I like to be updated with my friends and family's lives. It is in facebook where we chat and talk too. I like it so much here in myLot. In here, I get to do my love for readiing and writing. As to crafts, I can do origami but I can't form something out of my folded papers. I sish I could do crochet but I had been trying to no avail. I did start cross stitching again. A cousin asked me to make two or more patterns for her home. Happy Lotting and advance Happy New Year!

I love writing, singing, watching TV, reading the novel and hanging out with my friends. I spend much time on reading. It benefits me a lot. When I finish reading, I will write down some thoughts on reading.

I love to spend time on the computer as well as with my family. I am also learning how to sew, make jewelry, make soap, and will be taking up quilting. I want to start an online business later on this year after I get my Master's Degree this March. I have not tried crocheting or knitting yet, but if money gets better I will.

Well, since unfortunately I'm unemployed, I have to admit that I have a lot of spare time. However, I have not many hobbies, but one in particular that I almost consider it as a workplace, it is in fact working on Mylot! I really like to read the discussions, writing of my own, and comment on existing ones, or rather, written by other users. Then always with the computer there are several flash games that I like to play. Then, when I'm tired of staying at home, then go out, even down to the street for a walk. I do not seem to have many claims, right?
