What are your other cool hobbies besides ponies?

[NovelNerd]

Hmmm I dunno I collect a lot of things like cameos, pocket watches, and some model horses. I have a fascination with Alice in Wonderland and Victorian era things. I have an Alice room actually.

I mostly collect books and have a ton of them.

Hobbies though things outside collecting. I belly dance, but I'm a bit rusty.  I ride, used to barrel race till I got old.

Other than various 80s toys (which are still very like ponies), I collect certain dolls, mangas/animes, hamster and Guinea Pig themed stuff, books, pencils, I have a small autograph collection that I haven't really added to in ages, and I unintentionally collect horse and dog themed things.....I just really like horses and dogs (wolves, foxes, etc included).

[Sugar]

Good topic idea!

As collections besides ponies go, I've recently begun to accumulate a small stash of Japanese stationery and stickers - loving the kawaii designs, and there are so many to choose from!  That's in addition to the ridiculous amount of books my son and I have amassed, along with Schleich equines (me) and Pokémon and Mario figures (him).

I also dabble in writing in my spare time (always tinkering with an idea for a novel, but since my spare time is very spare, it's not going very far, alas!)... but my A-number-one hobby is definitely being with my son, playing games and philosophizing together.   He has such a profound and different perspective on things... it's amazing and never, ever dull.

Otherwise I'm an avid scrapbooker, card maker, and lovebird mommy!

I do beading, crafting, read a lot, play video games, collect Grand Champions and Breyers, and I'm trying to get back into doing karate, but that is slow.  I also love Belle and Eeyore.  Aaaand I'm a nerd.  Doctor Who, Supernatural, Big Bang Theory, etc....

Hm. Needle felting, and film photography (Although I haven't done that for a bit)...

[MidnightVelvet]

Besides ponies I collect Webkinz, LPS, One Direction items, and Harry Potter items. My other interests are sewing, gymnastics, and swimming.

Besides ponies I collect rocks/fossils, Rainbow Brite, and Smurfette. I've slowed down on other collections and hobbies besides mlp...
Does cleaning house and other chores count as a hobby? Gosh, I spend mindless hours each week doing that stuff...

[Corona]

Let's see... I collect tea and taxidermy, play the banjo, read bad fanfiction and non-fiction on crime and disaster history, and game on my DS and computer. I used to do target shooting but the gun range I went to closed down.

Also a museum hopper. I'm big into museums and when I go somewhere new one of the first things I look up is what museums they have.

Interesting subject! I'm a birder, with special interest in waterfowl. ^-^

I collect very old children's books, I have several series that I am still trying to complete but they seem hard to find. I have some that are really obscure too.

[Tap Dancer]

Hello there! I was wondering if anyone else has two dramaticly different hobbies/ interests? You know, collecting something else totally irreverent to ponies. Does anyone else also collect trading cards, baseballs, shells, even fossils/rocks like me?

I collect gemstones. My favorite stones are Citrine, Amethyst, and Rose Quartz. I guess you could also say I collect fitness DVDs, which I use all the time. And I have a great collection of Biographies/Autobiographies of classic Hollywood actresses. I love those gorgeous stars from the 1930s and 1940s.

[Heartcease]

Let's see, most of my hobbies that take time are on hold or slow going because I'm busy with my son.  I love to read, draw, paint, sculpt, and cook new things.  I used to collect comic books, mostly the X-titles and anything related to them and Conan.  I collect anything dealing with Garfield, he's my favorite grumpy cat.  I play Diablo III currently, and I used to play FallenSword and Neopets.  And WoW.  I really miss WoW, but it's such a huge time commitment.  I love a lot of different 80's toys, He-man, She-ra, Glamour Girls, Golden Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones, and my goal is to rescue all of them from my Mom's attic like I did my ponies.  I really want to get into collecting Flap Cats from Windstone Editions, but all my collecting money has been going to ponies.

aww thanks guys! 
Navi, your conure looks sooooo adorable! What's his name?

[fingerpaints]

I am a sorta artist on the side, don't actually "sell" much, more as a hobby / for fun / gifts etc. I love drawing mainly, but can also paint and make things, I have made quiet a few puppets for friends as well from no pattern, just start sewing random fabrics together. I can also make other bits and pieces, and work in childcare, so these "talents" come in handy with the kiddies. I am currently starting work on 14 tambourines for our centre which I am putting together from scratch, and my boss has also put in an order for 7 rainsticks (piece of thick bamboo with heaps of tiny holes drilled in it with bamboo skewers stuck through, beads in the centre & caps on the end to make rain noise).

I also loosely have a penguin collection, which is more of an accident than anything.

Here is my latest artwork for anyone interested, I rarely get a chance to draw, and did this one for myself (first I have done for me in years quiet literally).

Cool! What raptors do you have? Do you hunt with them? (Forgive me, I'm limited in my falconry knowledge.)

fingerpaints: That is SO pretty!! I love their cute little horsey noses! ^-^
