I write and game and play with my pets. Most of my hobbies really do involve ponies or dolls.

Oh what kind of pets do you have? I'm a bit of an animal nut :biggrin:
-
We have 4 dogs, 2 Guinea Pigs, 3 cats, 3 turtles, 1 mouse, 1 hedgehog, 1 sugar glider, 1 squirrel, 1 fish, 2 doves, 5 tarantulas, 1 scorpion, & 1 hissing cockroach.
-
Oh man, leatherwork is awesome! It's one of those things that I regard as really interesting, but has always remained a mystery to me.
It's pretty obvious I'm into music, and I'm also into traditional photography. 90% of what I shoot is film. I have a photography portfolio here; http://www.photo.doctormowinckel.com
-
Aside from my many collections (Pullips, Monster High, Jem, etc.)...
I like dressing up in costumes/cosplaying.

I've taken some pictures before, but I'm not really into photography and my camera is crappy.

That's wonderful! Where do you get your costumes? Great drawings too!

Those leather masks are really cool!
Besides customizing ponies, I read a lot of science and natures books, collect and play video games, and stick a lot of things under my microscope.
Last year I was given a telescope and have taken a liking to astrophotography-

I'm looking forward to getting some shots of Mars on its opposition coming up. Here's hoping for clear skies!

LOL Would you believe that's actually a reduced number? Everyone around tends to dump their unwanted creatures on us. Lately though we are trying to not let anymore come in as they became very much a full time job for a while.

Those are absolutely stunning! What kind of camera/settings did you use for these?!

Absolutely, it seems that word gets around if you take in one, you end up the neighborhood shelter! I'm down to my rescue dog (basset x pit if you can picture that), my inlaw's cat they had to get rid of when they moved to canada, my gecko I got way back in 7th grade, and another gecko from the shelter.

The Photo Finish costume was handmade except the ears were made by Yaya Han and the wigs I bought on ebay.
The ballgown I bought from a lady in Oregon and the fangs were custom made for me by a fangsmith in New York.
-
I used to Cosplay when I was younger ^^; Havent done that in a while though this year will be Rapunzel at the Disney World halloween party.
Other than that I like ParaPara dancing, so much in fact that I have one of the arcade machines in my garage :P
-
I like to read, maninly fantasy but I also like biographies. I'm a history nut, enough to have taken two years of archaeology and three semesters of history at the university. I like to play videogames and to walk, I can walk for hours if the weather is alright.
-
Drawing (if it was not obvious XD )
Writing, though I haven't been doing much of that latley
Text based Roleplaying, my main focus is a modern fantasy rp on deviantart called Toradh-Ireland
Photography to some extent
Gaming
Reading
-
I love seeing what other people get up to in their spare time :P
I bake, read, draw & play old computer games. :3 Also writing my first novel.
My biggest project right now is an animated film, hopefully the first of many to come. :) I'm still in pre-production right now, but I occassionally post stuff here if anyone's interested:

It's really what I do in my spare time more than anything else--dress up, make plans with my frilliest of friends, buy clothing, sell clothing, daydream about clothing... XD
-
BUNNIES!!! I also do some crafts, although not as much lately. And web design.
And of course modding.... which includes tracking down many oversized sigs. :P
-
We have waaay to many hobbies.
Horses,have three.
Four wheeling. Have two and a dirt bike.
small six seater boat we have gutted this winter.
Shooting. Debating dropping a couple grand on some new kimber 1911s but we really need to save for a bigger place!Have a small 22 handgun and a 9mm and some shotguns and some bigger ones we shoot with on the weekends.
Use to be more into cars but have tamed that down as we got out of hondas. Have on nissan spec v left and thats for sale. Got out of competing in car stereo stuff as well but still do our own cars.
-
I'll see if I can dig up pics (photography is NOT one of my hobbies, heh) but my hobbies include floral design, baking, and drawing.
Well, here's some drawings if you want to see them: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b1/asbestos_thug/Artwork/

I love the lolita dresses!!
My hobbies are drawing(digital art), writing and working on my blogs. C;
-
It's great to see everybody's different interests! :biggrin:
Other than that I like ParaPara dancing, so much in fact that I have one of the arcade machines in my garage :P
Forgive my ignorance, but what on earth is ParaPara dancing?! :what:

My husband and I's first date was he took me shooting! Now we have a gun safe in our apt, we go to the range when the weather behaves. My cousin just found my great grandpa's browning shotgun and gave it to us, shoots like a dream!
-
I have way too many hobbies! I take pictures, draw, read, craft, make jewelry, sculpt, paint, and am looking to do some sewing soon....
-
I know how you feel about having hobby ADD... I've tried out everything looking for something I really like (sometimes I feel like one of the cutie mark crusaders! x), the things that have really stuck with me though are: Fashion, crafts (knitting, crochet, generally making things), collecting ponies (obviously), reading, drawing and visiting flea markets... There are photos of all these exploits at my blog (http://www.bookworm-blog.com/).
Although in the future I'd really like to get into making doll clothes and dioramas, as this seems to combine crafting, collecting and buying second hand stuff, so it sounds like just the thing for me x)
-
Classic lolita fashion is a huge part of my life, but I generally avoid cameras in it :x
Cosplay too is big for me

I collect Sylvanian Families - I have over 1000 figures, and counting. My garage is now a toy room for all my silly stuff. I love setting up Sylvanians for photo scenes, and G4s fit in perfectly with a lot of the accessories.
I also collect the Littlest Pet Shop Blythe dolls, and I used to play Magic the Gathering and DDR competitively. I also enjoy playing video games, board games, baking, card and paper craft, singing, and looking after our animals: 2 dutch rabbits, 2 very elderly gerbils that are somehow still alive after nearly 4 years (I will miss those little guys when they pass away :cry: ), and a cat who decided to make us her new owner.
-
My other hobby besides ponies is working (seriously 1 full time job and 4 part time jobs-yuck). It's not my hobby of choice btw.....

This is amazing! How long does it take to make something like this? I'd love to be able to make something so cool!

I am a passionate tea drinker, a dreamer, a wanderer, a listener. A volunteer, a poet, a baker.
I adore caring for children, and I am a young leader of a local Brownie pack.. we have ever so much fun with the girls!
I do first aid (shortly to become a SJA cadet), I am fascinated with the Victorian era.. I love to sew, sketch and discover music.
-
Besides MLP and taking care of my kids, I do think I have hobby ADD too.

A little Gaming

Sorry it took so long to respond, short attention span and all :P
That particular mask took quite a bit longer, mostly because it was my first mask and there was quite a bit of detailed tooling. This level of tooling would probably take me 3-4 hours, plus time to cut it out and smooth the edges. Wet molding takes about 30-40 minutes, but then you have to let it dry overnight or else you'll trap the moisture in the paint. After drying comes the paint and sealer! Typically when I have a mask project, it takes either one afternoon off for cutting out and tooling, and an evening for painting/sealing, or three evenings. Thicker leather takes longer to tool/mold/cut out. Hope that helps! I have more masks in my devart account if you're interested

attention what? :P

So cool some of the hobbies you all have. Amazing masks and lolita outfits! I've always thought cosplay looked like lots of fun. I made a pony costume based off of G3 Desert Rose. My mom did all the sewing but I embroidered her rose cutie mark on the skirt. ^.^
My passion that consumes almost all my spare time is crocheting. I taught myself a few years back just to make a bag and i was hooked (hah!) Started with mostly beanies, moved to blankets and scarves and then started doing tiny stuff with crochet thread. This is just a small sampling. :biggrin:

My latest craze is hair accessories. You can see all that on my etsy page [size=78%]http://www.etsy.com/shop/NinaMarieCrochet (http://www.etsy.com/shop/NinaMarieCrochet)[/size]

Mine is drawing though I do view it as more than just a hobby.
-
I have a lot of crafts - generally anything creative or puzzle-y catches my interest. I just like too many things and never accomplish much of any one thing.
Oh, and bunnies. :)
-
NinaMarie, what beautiful crochet! I've been knitting for a few years, but have been a little intimidated by crocheting (although I couldn't tell you why!) So great seeing and hearing everybody's hobbies!

Lol it is the opposite for me. Trying to work with 2 needles is awkward for clumsy me.

They're adorable! ^.^ Back in my day, we were in between the 90s uniform and the present one.. I used to wear the 90s sweater with the present day t-shirts and the sash, even after the changeover! :lol: Rebel child. :silly:
Even our leaders outfits are cute. We're having custom hoodies soon.

Hello, my name is Lavender and I am a hobby-o-holic. :P I have so many, really more hobbies than time. However other than being a mom and taking care of my kiddos, I read a lot, do nutrition research, costuming, make boutique children's clothing, fabric and felt applique, crazy quilting, cross stitch, embroidery, jewelry making, textile art, decorative interior painting (like murals and faux finishing), cook a lot (mostly vegan/vegetarian and bread baking), and as a family we love hiking national parks. I also dabble in photography, but my camera sucks so that's another one of these days when I get a better camera type hobbies. I would love to take up leather working, but it's out of my price range right now to invest in yet another hobby. One of these days I'll get around to blogging about my recipes, but that's another thing I haven't found the time for.
St. Patty's Day outfit I made for my daughter:

I have so many, really more hobbies than time.
I think we need to start a club, because I was just going to say the same thing. I also have more hobbies than time. I've actually suffered from hobby burnout because of this!
Aside from collecting ponies, here are a few things I do:
I write comics (http://www.wishfulfillment.kappacino.com (http://www.wishfulfillment.kappacino.com))
I draw, take photographs and make puppets (http://xkappax.deviantart.com/ (http://xkappax.deviantart.com/))
I make levels for LittleBigPlanet (http://www.mediamolecule.com/blog/article/something_for_the_weekend_hansel_gretelbot_out_now/ (http://www.mediamolecule.com/blog/article/something_for_the_weekend_hansel_gretelbot_out_now/))
I sing (but I'm too shy to post that stuff here, I think :O)
I play guitar (although I'm not very good)
I animate. (www.kappacino.com (http://www.kappacino.com))
I make Perler bead sprites: (http://www.kappacino.com/wordpress/?p=258 (http://www.kappacino.com/wordpress/?p=258))
I love to cook, too, although I'm not fantastic at it!
And, last but not least, I play video games!
-
I draw, take photographs and make puppets (http://xkappax.deviantart.com/ (http://xkappax.deviantart.com/))
Awesome! You're vector of cutesaurus is beyond adorable!!!
-
I do Yoshukai Karate, I bead, craft, used to do ceramics, cross stitch, (want to learn quilting), cook, read, and play video games. I love to do anything crafty...
I also write, and I've done...3 novels and one is being worked on with DH. (ok, more like ten are being worked on with DH, but they aren't close to being done yet, lol) I also to a writing-based role play on Avalon, though I haven't been on in a while...everyone keeps wanting me to come back, but I've been busy, lol.
Oh yeah, and I collect Breyers and Grand Champions, and OMG PONIES! xD betcha no one else has that hobby around here >.> <.<
And I love to dance. =] Country western and trying to learn some other styles.
-
I hunt fossils in the back yard , they are all Devonian ones though we were once a shallow sea over where i live. I also like to raise moths and butterflies when i find the caterpillars.
-
Awesome! You're vector of cutesaurus is beyond adorable!!!
Thank you so much! :)

Sparklers - your leather and chain maille work is stunning!
I collect various things (MLP, Barbie, Disney, X-Men, LLL, chihuahua/dog stuff, and some Harry Potter) And I love to draw :) I don't really come up with personas or OC's, I like to draw fan art ^_^ I also love to bake and deocorate cakes and cookies :D Something I grew up doing with my mom :)
kaninchen - I love your dolls! The first reminds me of Cinderella, she's so lovely, I love peasant dresses :)
-
I think we need to start a club, because I was just going to say the same thing. I also have more hobbies than time. I've actually suffered from hobby burnout because of this!
LOL So true! Or at least a "you know you're a hobby -o- holic when...." list. Your fraggles are really awesome! <3 fraggles!!
kaninchen - Your dolls are beautiful! I love their expressions!
-
LOL So true! Or at least a "you know you're a hobby -o- holic when...." list. Your fraggles are really awesome! <3 fraggles!!
I can't seem to stop with the hobbies. Once I finish one, I just move onto something else, lol.
And thanks for the kind words on the fraggles. I love fraggles too! My husband helped a lot with those. He's MUCH better at crafts than I am. It gives us something to do together. Right now, he and I are using our rainy nights making ourselves a pony plush. :) After that, Wembley Fraggle. Although I'm sort of dreading it. I bought all the materials, but I know he won't turn out right. I've been working on the planning of his pattern since 2010. :O
kaninchen - Your dolls are beautiful! I love their expressions!
I have to give major kudos to ANYONE who can do a craft. I'm more of the drawing sort of person. I struggle when it comes to craft stuff. My stuff often looks fine in photographs, but when you get close to it, it looks sloppy ! lol!
-
Generally I do alot of things, but not enough of them to get really good, but it's still fun.
- Crafting: I love decorating things like boxes. Being a teenager my budget has its limits, so I've taken a liking to decorating things I already have or things I can use, like magazine holders and those nifty boxes you hang on the wall.
- Being a drama student I've gained the ability to analyze everything (except people), and since I almost constantly do it, I regard it as a hobby.
- I love to sing and have taken singing lessons for roughly seven years.
- Taekwondo too.
Snd of course PONIES but you already know :P
