Making jewellery and up cycling clothes, a small shop in a nearby town stock my jewellery.
I'm not the next pandora admittedly but I love creating things and it gives me a massive kick to know people pay for them and wear them!!

Tap dancing!!! I danced when I was a kid, my daughter joined the local stage school a few years ago & when I found out they had an adult tap class I had to sign up!!! Its a real giggle and a bit of fitness too, ive made some great friends; very nervous at the moment tho as we have our annual show on Sunday! Eeek!
Ive also had a dabble with cake decorating lately as a friend of mine runs classes.
There are so many different things I'd like to learn, but with work and two children there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day!!! Lol! Looking forward to hearing what everyone else does in their "spare" time :)

Jewellery, quilting, candles, soap, reading and sometimes I've even been known to sit down with a coffee n watch tv lol
 
Oh you all sound so creative.
Outside of nails and beauty olive farming. We have a small family farm with fruit, ever since I was little I have loved helping out my grandparents and parents. Myself and husband are hoping to take it over in the future which to me is very exciting. I love nothing more than putting on my wellies and getting my hands dirty :)
Very very different for nails and beauty
Kx
 
I love gardening!
Many of my friends think it's a thing only 'old' people do!
I grow flowers, fruit and veg. I'm only in my third year and a combination of Cornish weather and pests Is frustrating but I find it really relaxing. Plus I wear Shellac and when clients ask about it I tell them that my Shellac stands strong even after a hard says digging and planting :)

Im hoping to take up yoga and pilates in september. Iv not had much time to do much between work and my daughter & her dancing, at least she has a hobby! My husband started up golf a few months ago & i have been trying to persuade him to carry on, in a few years i would like to do a bit of golf & i have plans for that when i retire (haha im only 27!)
 
Fish lol. I keep 3 tanks now
 
I love to make cards.. That's my hobby.

I loose myself in making cards for others.
Just love being creative with a purpose. :)
 
I love to sew. If I'm jot working I'm sewing something. Making skirts for my girls, pjs, bags, working on a very large and complicated patchwork quilt at the minute.

I also love knitting, making cards, candle making loads of crafts really.

I also love to read! I usually sew from 8pm-10pm ish then read in bed til about midnight.

:)
 
I make cards, jewellery, and Im trying my hardest to learn to use my sewing mechine. Im also into gaming and movies. Health issues mean these are at a minimum at times though :(
 
i love to read and would love to be able to sew but just cant get the hang of it!

the only other thing i do which has turned from a hobby into a business now is i design things and my husband makes them out of metal. it started with artwork and now ive gone into nail and beauty storage ideas and thumb palettes....ive just designed some trays for tea and coffee with my name cut out of them for my salon (just need him to make them now lol)

Cool Souz, I love sewing, started when I was 11, loved making my own clothes. Don't get to now though. Also learnt to knit from a book when I was a BT engineer back in the day - we were turned into glorified receptionists and it was a matter of time before I left!

Post some more of your pieces x
 
I love to restore old my little ponys , I haven't been able to do any for a while as everything has been in storage while we move for months ,

Loved my little pony when I was younger lol x
 
I do whatever I can to wear myself out :lol:
I draw (the only award I ever received for drawing was back in 3rd grade for a contest for the local zoo hahaha), play guitar and ukulele (but I sound like a cat getting spanked by a violin when I sing so I keep it strictly at playing only), knit, crochet, sew, various artsy stuff but I'm an origami fan, and every now and then when I feel all Martha Stewart-ish I'll bake something fancy.
