Fishin' 
Batter, you are so neat. What kinds of things do you like to grow?
PacificBlue, Do you do applique Quilts or patchwork? There is this quilting guild in california that puts out an annual calender that has a block a month quilt, and the are ALWAYS amazing. If you like, i'll find out more about them and get back to you.
I have too many hobbies. I don't concentrate on some as much as others, but honestly, I really will be eliminating the less significant ones because of the way that the next three years will be going.
The biggies:
I am a painter. Watercolor, acrylic, oils, ink.
I sew clothing and some household stuff for nescessity and fun.
Bonsai/ and my Garden
Aquaria enthusiast
The last two are somewhat professional endevours also.
Soon, my art will become a professional endevour too.

I do patchwork, I don't have any pictures of my work handy but I will find them and get them scanned. I've taken a class on applique and will be practicing that technique later this winter. I take classes at a local quilting shop...mostly to hang with other people who like to do what I enjoy. I swear my eyes go all glazy when I go to Fabric Depot, it's the largest fabric store in the area. I have to take several deep breaths and remind myself of my budget.
I'd also like to incorporate some of the needleworking skills I've learned into a quilt. Specifically hardanger and the little tiny glass beads.

yardwork. Does that count?
How about watching NCAA Football/Basketball?
NFL watching?
Tinkering around the house and on cars
I like to cook and eat.
I also like to ride horses every now and then, was raised on a farm ya know..........don't miss shoveling the shit though I must confess.
I like going and playing with my nephew, reminds me of how simple life really is. I like to make him smile.

I used to love riding my motorcycle, however since I sold it (due to an outrageous speeding ticket) I ride occasionally. Still love it. Will get another soooooooooon. Got the fever still after all these years of riding.

I enjoy gardening and sewing (when I have the time). I dragged out the 15+ year old sewing machine yesterday and made 2 pillows, most of a 3rd one, and 3 shirts--one Pokemon scrub for my son and 2 scrubs for myself. I will make one more scrub top, 2 skirts, one real pull-over blouse, a Link costume, and several scruntchies before I put it up tomorrow night. the machine probably won't be touched again for 6 months after that--but this will be a major productive weekend!!!!
Oh yeah--does playing here on the computer too much count as a hobby?

LOL, tell me about it, it's like an addiction and there's no 12 step program for us poor junkies.
The world has two sort's of people those who get the motorcycling fever and those who don't and you can never explain it to those who don't.

Reading. I'll read just about anything. Horseback riding. Writing. Not very creative as far as crafts go. Could kill with my cooking. Guess that's it. Except for surfing the net, but I consider that an addiction.
