Lol, I am one of the least creative people you will ever meet. I egt good idea's sometimes but just can't seem to get that to translate to paper. I have tried cross-stitching (hopeless failure), sewing (dismal failure) drawing (I cant even get my stick people to look like sticks or people), lol, so I finally learned to stay with-in the realm of talent God gave me i.e. anything physical. Lately, because I am pregnant I have had to cut back quite a bit but still walk every day (lol, ya wanna see antsy, watch me on a rainy or stormy day and can't get my walk in) and I have an exercise/fitness ball that I work out on everyday and I have a great prenatal yoga/pilates video I do. I am an avid reader as well, but with full-time school and such a busy time right now I don't nearly get the time to read as I used to. Can't wait to see other people's answers. I remember reading in a post about someone (sorry cant remember who) making wreaths out of pinecones or something, Im always a tad bit green with jealousy :) when I hear or see people so talented like that. My aunt could beat the snot out of Martha Stewart on all counts with her eyes closed!! I think she sucked up ALL the creative vibes in the family!! :D

I chose other. I do read quite a bit but I am also a sports nut (since I am a guy). I love hockey and baseball most but will watch other sports. I also enjoy a bit of TV such as Lost, Family Guy, Earl, etc. I mainly go for comedies. I play video games as well but not as much as I used to.
Of course the thing I enjoy the most is spending time with my wife and kids. :)

My interests and hobbies could fill a book, or a long post...lol

I do a combination of things when I can find the time, most of these were done before college ;-)

I enjoy needlework: crocheting afgans and baby blankets, also cross stitch.

I read a lot of different genre's: ancient culture, history, romance, sci-fi/fantasy

Music is amazing: I am in the celtic mood right now

I sew: doll clothes, scrub tops(for work), stuffed animals, and whatnot

I also love to bake! I make cinnamon rolls, cakes, cookies, pies...from scratch.

I grew up in the country and spent many days with my grandmother, we even washed clothes with one of thos old washers...the best times of my child hood were with her!! Looking at my hobby list brings tears to my eyes because she is the one who taught me how to do 95% of what is listed and inspired the rest.

WOW! You are a well rounded individual, Lisa. My one gramma taught me how to cook & the other how to knit(I have forgotten how. Grr...) & embroider when I was in 1st grade. I think those memories are the absolute bestest! It gives me lots of hope for my days as a gramma:) Thx for sharing. (((hugs))) jan

I enjoy reading my Bible and daily devotions above all.

I can see now that I neglected alot of other interests that folks might have. I, too, like to cook & bake & garden. I find it very relaxing, Jennifer. I also thought of leather tooling & woodcrafts. My neighbor down the street got all sorts of electric tools from her dh, like you got the sewing machine. She is making all sorts of bookcases, a small table for her hallway & one of those potting tables to keep all your gardening supplies on. I am so jealous. Thanks for sharing! (((hugs))) jan

I like needlework, reading & listening to many types of music. I have found that developing these interests have helped to relax me. In times of stress & anxiety, they were able to divert my attention & make me feel more comfortable. HTH (((hugs))) jan
