| Roll rocks uphill for the rock garden, beat the cats, shop for funky pants on the clearance rack, draw up plans for new vegetable boxes made from old decking, engage posts on forums (!), read, watch 'The Godfather and II' too many times, cook (learning new recipes as I write), walk the dog, feed the birds and break the ice on the birdbath, minor home improvements (hey, no painting until April)...you get the idea. purple, you've asked, now you're going to answer, right? |

| It's tough this time of year when most of the stuff I like to do is not possible (unless you have much better circulation!) Like swimming at the beach or spring lakes, cookouts with the yard full of playing kids, camping by the beach, fishing. I admit, I get sucked into games on the computer when it's cold outside. I used to do a lot of cross-stitching but am having trouble seeing the fine details in that lately, and am still mourning the loss of all of the designs I made on the computer (and was starting to bring to life) that were lost when it crashed. I also like to design quilts but I don't make them. Sometimes my Mom will like one of my creations well enough to make the actual quilt. Last night, I spent about an hour devising a new Christmas ornament to make for family members. It will make use of a toilet paper roll, some red ribbon, cotton balls, and have a pic of our family. When my daughter is home this week, we'll get the picture taken. Next week hopefully I'll have a finished ornament to show. Before you know it, it will be time to bake dozens of cookies for gifts. Other stuff is not so exciting, like dust experiments (according to one of my magnets, "Dust testing in progress. Please do not disturb the samples.") and making a giant compost pile, and leaving a dirty dish under my pillow in hopes that the dishes fairy will clean the kitchen while I'm sleeping. |

| I teach at a community college. With finals week approaching and the piles of papers coming in, it feels like I don't have any time for more than one hobby! I can only handle gardening right now! Any more and my brain might explode! ;) We watch a lot of movies and tv shows at home. We go antiquing as often as we can. I have a lot of craft projects going on right now as Christmas approaches, working on no-sew blankets and homemade detergent lately. That's all I can think of for now--and now that I've checked into Gardenweb, gotta get back to work! |

| To me,my plants are not a "hobby",they are more like roommates and friends that don't talk back to me,..much like my bettas. I currently keep four of them(3 males and a female)and my many attempts at breeding them have yielded one failure after another(oh well,..they are still adorable,right?). If I could motivate myself to get up off my dead butt maybe I would get back into painting in acrylics but that's been difficult to say the least. Somehow it just never gets around to happening.

| (Not finished with 1st coffee yet, full coordination over clicking submit before I'm ready not yet in effect...) Asleep, I like that a lot! Didn't realize you had room for a pencil at your place! |

| Can't make snow angels here, so I made a sand angel. |

| I wish we could take credit for this incredible ephemeral artwork, but it was already gracing the beach when we arrived this day. Not only did we have a blast camping at the beach, but seeing this was worth the trip alone. Beautiful sand mermaid, princess supreme of the shoreline. |
