Quilting is a lot of fun and can be done for profit if one desires. I have a lot of fun meeting other quilters and showing off my work.

I love needle point, cross stitch, and latch hook. I have just taught my oldest how to latch and she has taken my roll of plain canvas  I have and has decided to do four different canvases for christmas gifts. We cut our own yarn so the bat man symbol she is doing for her boyfriend the black is longer then the white she is doing the back ground tomake it stand out more. She has just started on cross but has a good one picked out to do for my mom from my books.

Yes my hobby is railroads.  I enjoy the multiple facets of how our railroad transportation system continues to evolve and work as it trasnports goods and people from place to place.

Well I don't know what your "etc" covers, but I understand.  I sew, knit, crochet, cross stitch and make jewelry.  I've also started locker hooking and have tried needle felting.  I tried to learn tatting but found that my crochet skills gave me the wrong tension.  I draw in pencil, charcoal and tech pen and I'm a photographer too.  Oh, and there's tube knitting.

I've found some patterns I'm interested in trying that mix beaded jewelry with knit or crochet.

There's also recycled art, that is art that reuses / recycles / repurposes things that might otherwise be thrown away.  See a website called Recycle Post for ideas.  :wave:

I tried scrapbooking and quickly learned I don't have an eye for it.
I really enjoy making jewelry, and a lot of people like the pieces I make.
I've considered setting up a shop on etsy to sell some of my work.

I love to read, but I love to listen to audiobooks even more. The text can really come alive with the right narrator. Sports and biographies are my favorites. Just a couple of recommendations, but I really enjoyed listening to Playing for Keeps Michael Jordan and the World He Made by David Halberstam and Dreams from my father by Barack Obama. Playing for Keeps is hard to find in the unabridged (better) version and is only on cassette so it would have to be transferred to CD. You can find Dreams in the Essential Barack Obama collection (http://www.amazon.com/The-Essential-Barack-Obama-Award-Winning/dp/0739375946/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350395775&sr=8-1&keywords=the+essential+barack+obama and also search ebay) along with The Audacity of Hope.

Let me know if this helps.  :)

I have a few hobbies. I like read books, i like to crochet, and i also like to make flower arrangements. Sometimes after a hard day and ripping and running with sports for the kids, i just want to relax and do something soothing for me. Out of all three i like reading the best.

I haven't had a hobby in several years.  I used to collect blue willow/blue onion things but stopped doing that because it got out of hand!

I love anything creative. My favorite is making something from nothing/scrap. At the moment I am busy doing a lot of DIY around the house (also fun) and "painting" a picture with seeds and grains.

I like to sell my unwanted items online and I love to paint.  Find something that you no longer use or is bad condition and give it a fresh coat of paint!  It is relaxing and you have a fresh new piece to use, gift or sell!  I found a homemade wooden box at my mom's.  I painted it blue with lime green polka dots, and put my 3 year old's foot prints in white paint on the top.  It is now a precious little step stool in his bathroom!  It kept slipping around, so I put a bead of hot glue around the bottom and now it's perfect!  It is very satisfying!

Would you consider Fusion Cash a hobby?
I think I do.... something I do in my free time.

      I love arts and crafts. Consider building something you can sell to raise some personal funds. For example: Hair decorations,walking canes...something that people want and need.

I like to make quilts. I have 8 grandkids and would like to make all of them a quilt. I have 1 done and 2 started. (BIG MISTAKE) I should have finished the 1 before starting another. I like making wall hangings (quilts) I also like to make things out of clay, draw and paint pictures, landscapes mostly.  Haven't done much of it here lately but it is fall and all the beautiful colors inspire me. God has made a beautiful place for us to live in :thumbsup:

I try to do recycled art and make useful things out of stuff which you would otherwise throw away. With small kids, I also engage them in it, so they also enjoy the process.
