Found myself starting to think about trying some new thing that sounded cool, and realized it might be fun to think about all of the random interests, crafts, hobbies and pursuits I've chased on tangents to my life. It's easy to feel like a bum or a failure for dropping hobbies and that could cause hesitation in starting something new, but on sheer volume I bet some of us have impressive lists. Requirement is that it never made you real dependable income and wasn't a career for you. Aside from that, sky is wide open. It can be something you tried for a few weeks, years, or still do. What's your trail of hobbies?

Here's my incomplete list:

  • Horseback riding
  • Drawing
  • Playing the flute
  • Painting models
  • Fencing (yes like sword fighting)
  • Beading and jewelry making
  • Carving soapstone and alabaster
  • Playing the harp
  • Knitting
  • Crochet
  • Sewing
  • Cosplay making
  • Baking
  • Ballroom dancing
  • Writing
  • Refinishing furniture
  • Homemade ice cream

I'm still doing some of these and some I haven't done in years, but of course I still have all of the stuff for them...
