It's been a while since we had a hobbies topic so I thought I'd dredge it up again!
So if any of you have time for hobbies what are you up to?
I'm interested in so many things I have more hobbies than I can pursue. Most of them are expensive too. I just got some Art Clay Silver and it's so much fun. It's the same idea as PMC (Precious Metal Clay) and you can make real silver pieces fired on a gas hob. It's pretty cool - it comes in clay form and you work it just like any other clay. Once it has dried you fire it for about 20 minutes on a gas flame and when it comes out it's all white and oxidised. The best bit is burnishing it which involves rubbing and compacting the surface until it starts to become shiny. You can finish it to be really shiny or satin or brushed finish. I'm way too excited about it! My other current hobbies are drawing in Inkscape. I'm really into vector graphics at the moment. I also want to get out and about with my camera a bit more, I just need to find the time.
What are your current hobbies?

I'm like you Jude too many hobbies, not enough time.
I have managed to get out with my camera quite a bit lately, which has been nice. Got some awesome time lapse photos of fountains. Although I never seem to have time to take the photos off my camera and put them on the net. I'm in the process of resurrecting an old hobby of mine, by starting up a Kung Fu class. It has been also a year since my last class ended. It's been raining a lot lately but hoping for some sun at the weekend so I can get out on my mountain board.

That silver clay sounds very interesting, Jude!
I generally like to read, but don't do it much when I'm stressed, because I can't easily concentrate.
I have bought many colours of Fimo (polymer clay) and I like making all sorts of things out of it. And I like to draw occasionally. Another thing that I like doing is embroidering, knitting, generally handmade things like that. I'm gonna get materials and make a latch hook rug sometime soon, for my boyfriend's new place.
Oh and I used to love trekking, walking in the mountains and exploring. That was before they burned down almost all of Greece starting last summer. Now I'll just get depressed and angry.
You fight like a dairy farmer!

i suppose that reading would be my hobby, especially since im unemployed, being only sixteen, and have no money. im actually in a midevil re-creation group called the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) we dress up as people from the 1600s and earlier. we have camp fires and people sing songs they wrote or things like that. we also have heavy weapon fighting and rapier. theres archery and thrown weapons too. its alot of fun most of the time. im going to try to get into heavy weapons. you have to have armor to protect you because we have rattan(kinda like bamboo) sticks wrapped in duct tape and you re-enact the fighting. you can actually get really hurt though, my dad cracked his liver.(i know it sounds weird, but it happened.) so i guess thats my hobby too.
Be very open and honest with who and what you are. If people still like you, fine, if not, that's their problem.

There are lots of places online selling it. I bought mine from silverclay.co.uk If you're not in the UK there are quite a few places worldwide where you can buy it as it's becoming really popular now.

Hobbies....Well I recently took up running and weight lifting with my husband, which prolly doesn't sound like a hobby but weight lifting is becoming one. Swing Dance, which I take classes of with one of my good friends. Reading and occasionally writing poetry. I spend so much of my time being stuck in a logical scientific world that escaping to fantasy keeps me sane
World of Warcraft and hopefully Spore when it comes out in September. Oh yes I shall make my own race of creatures and it will be wonderful. If you haven't heard of Spore it's a game where you start with a single celled organism and evolve it, by adding features, and then create basically the dominant life form on a planet. Eventually you can even build space ships and conquer other planets if you are so inclined. Does writing my thesis count as a hobby if it makes me want to cry?

god right now I should be typing my AP history essay but this is just so much more interesting.
I'm really into fashion design, so I like to draw clothing in this little sketchbook I have. Just clothing. I suck at drawing the people lmao. Im also into playing soccer. Currently I'm in a camp to get me ready for school preseason. Damn the camp is hell. I'd rather diee. Ummm I read a little, havn't really had time. Im also into sewing so I'm trying to work up to making most of my wardrobe. I find that you can make clothes so much more interesting when you do it yourse;f. And you have control so you can make them as simple or as cazy as you want. And they never fit wrong lol. So many benifits. What else..Nothing really just that is all I can think of at the moment.
Now back to my damn essay.
EDIT: oh jinjo I ment to ask you. whats a mountain board? Is it like a skateboard with giant wheels?

I really love synth hair. I am finding it less practical to color my hair as of late, so making falls is becoming a bit of a hobby for me. It is expensive, though.
Music collection has always been a hobby as well. I enjoy picking up CDs from artists from around the world.
Travel has been a huge hobby/obsession of mine, but I am currently strapped for cash, so it's become difficult to do. I hope that situation changes!!! I have been to many countries...Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, Ireland, England, Scotland, Japan, Mexico, and many Caribbean islands.
Travel makes me happy!

My hobbies at this moment are watching Netflix and Fox series, watching new hair dyes in Tiktok, and non-stop talking with friends thru zoom. That's it, anyone wants to give a new idea for a new hobby? :)

My hobby is making paintings and art. Recently, I have established art rooms where I place all my paintings. The fun thing is I have designed this room by myself with the help of a picture https://www.amazon.com/Assorted-Heavy-Picture-Hanging-Hooks/dp/B08PTGPP5Q?th=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hanging kit.

One healthy hobby I've started doing again lately is making my own juice. Usually carrot, celery, cucumber and apple. Sometimes lemon, ginger or beets. I also like to make gifts, ie, tie or knit blankets, make christmas ornaments, and painting stuff with the kids. I don't sew and I'm not particularly good at art but when I see something homemade if it looks simple enough I try to make my own version. One christmas I made a bunch of pictures with vinyl stickers and melted crayon wax blown with a straw. This was one of my our best ones.

Sport is my hobby now. Since I started maintaining a healthy lifestyle, sport is a part of my routine. By the way, this website inspired me to get in shape https://betterme.world/articles/are-green-peppers-good-for-you/. Usually, I work out 4-5 times a week, do yoga every day, and run every morning.

My hobby when I was young was painting. It was pretty cool I've drew all what I could see. Cars, fruits, people, houses & etc. Now I'm digital marketer and all my work is about creating some media content. And when I have feeling that I want to draw something, I grab my album and brushes, come here https://create.vista.com/colors/color-names/jade-green/ choose color that matches with my mood. Then I start drawing some abstract arts. That is really relaxing, and I can say that it's my hobby right now
