WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY?

"What is your hobby? Every woman
 ought to have some pet interest in
 life, outside of the everyday routine
 which composes her regular occupations.
 What is yours?"

~The Mother's Magazine, January 1915

This past year I learned a new hobby:
to knit

Before that I use to:
to paint

I received a gift:
an easel

A woman can have
more than one hobby,
right?

What is your hobby? xx

    Ooh, good post. My hobby used to be scrapbooking. I have a bunch of supplies but haven't worked on anything in about a month. I need to get motivated.
    My newest hobby is collecting books about interior design. I've been studying the evolution of decorating from the 1890's to today. I love looking at the photos of homes decorated in the 40's, 50's, and 60's.

    Knitting and crocheting for sure, and doing art collage journaling has been a new learn this year. Unfortunately time is limited to expand in all that I would love to do, including antiquing and learning an instrument :). Enjoy painting, the setting looks so lovely!!!

    Knitting, sewing, cooking, reading...but painting? I've always wanted to learn to paint...and spinning? Yes, I want to learn to spin. And rug hooking? have you seen the reproduction antique hooked rugs? I want to do that! I sure hope that the adage you can't teach an old dog new tricks is not true because this old gal has much to learn!!

    What a beautiful spot to paint! And what a nice easel!
    Wow...Hobbies... I have too many, and not enough time to enjoy them all.
    Sewing, Writing, Baking, and a little dabbling here and there in knitting, crocheting, and painting. At least blogging kind of gives me the motivation to finish projects I've started. I used to have a million unfinished projects laying around, now only about a thousand ;)!

    Nice easel! And it's in such a pretty spot. Can we see some of your paintings?

    Knitting, reading, and bird watching are my main hobbies.
