What's Your Hobby Besides Reefing?

[Nicole New Lowell]

I collect succulents and garden, and I love photography but my slr camera is old and junky now so I don't do much of that anymore, just iphone snapshots. What are your hobbies?

Unfortunately reefing is the cheaper of my two hobbies LOL

Reef aquariums is my largest hobby. I also tinker with computers and starting to hop on the drone band wagon.

But mostly between my aquariums and family I do not have a lot of extra time or money.

Very nice! I'm a big car chick . Not that I can work on them or anything but I've been into cars since I was tiny. Used to drive a dodge stealth. 2 actually. Huge POS but man I loved those cars

I didn't know anyone still
Played lawn darts, weren't those things outlawed lol?!

A succulent is a cactus without spines. Well technically a cactus is a succulent with spines

Mark.... I'd be more then happy to bring you to the range sometime bro.

 

[Nicole New Lowell]

Tada! Succulents lol. They remind me of corals in a lot of ways.

My boyfriend is really getting into guns. He got his gun licence and hunting licence a couple months ago. Far too loud for me to enjoy lol. Gimme a bow and some arrows thanks lol

 

[Salty Cracker]

I have a couple of plinkers around the homestead. No succulents though, I kind of think cacti kind of need spikes!

3d printing sounds like fun, ever make anything for your tank ?
Do you keep honey bees or this is some fancy tech lingo I don't know about lol...
My dad kept honey bees when I was a kid for a while. My mom has MS and they were trying bee sting therapy. We collected the honey too.

You may regret asking this after reading this post, LOL, but here goes...I have a lot of different hobbies other than my aquariums and find it hard to choose which is my favorite. Since I was little I have been knitting and crocheting and love both. I have since taught myself to Tat (like crocheting) and have made one large doily using tatting which you can see below

I also enjoy cross stitch and Adult coloring. I have built most of the furniture in my Living room (wall unit, coffee table and end tables) and have built a sun room on the back of my house. I love working with wood and wish I had the money for some of the really nice tools out there. One of my favorite woodworking stores is Lee Valley. Since my house doesn't really need more furniture, I recently began exploring miniature dollhouse building. I have built one doll house and am now in the process of filling it up with home made furniture...

The stained glass windows in the house were designed by myself but are created using stained glass window paint instead of real glass.

This is a photo of the living room in the doll house. The fireplace lights up and all of the furniture and books were made by myself as well. Once I figured out how to make miniature books I decided to make a miniature "adult coloring book" last weekend. I spend many wonderful hours with a magifying glass coloring in some of the pages to make it more realistic!

Since I have been doing a lot of miniature things, I also decided to crochet in miniature and began crocheting with sewing thread. Here is an example of one doily I finished. Currently, I am working on a very large doily that I have designed myself with Seahorses on it. It will be made out of sewing thread and will eventually be a runner for my buffet in the dining room (which I also built).

I am also now exploring Marquetry (inlaid wood designs) and have begun making some of the furniture for the doll house with Marquetry designs incorporated into them. Soon I will be making a miniature fake seahorse aquarium for my doll house - I can't seem to get away from aquariums, or seahorses, LOL!

I, also love cacti and succulents and last year began growing some cacti from seed. It was a mixed package of seed so I have no idea what they will eventually look like but many did germinate and, along with larger cacti and succulents I purchased, now have about 40 baby cacti that are all growing well. They range from 1/2" to 1" tall at the moment.

I have always wanted to learn the art of Stained glass work and may someday take a course and learn. I was visiting a local stained glass store and she showed me a beautiful Seahorse made out of beveled glass. I would like to make a window incorporating that into it...

I always have at least 2 or 3 projects on the go at the same time so that I don't get bored doing any one thing. I think my husband sometimes cringes when I come up with yet another idea for a project I would like to do. Sometimes I feel that I have so many projects that I don't have time to work! But I need to work to get the money for the projects! So, you can see the dilemma - I work to feed my never ending need to create something and my desire to create gets in the way of work

You have many talents yvet and all seems like your really good at it. Keep it up looks awesome

 

[nathan]

I'm going to ad to mine... I have a motorcycle and use to really enjoy that... it now sits in the garage.... had to many close calls and realize I'm not invincible anymore....lol... it goes up for sale in the spring. I also enjoy gardening... like reefing it's about creating... creating an environment .... creating life... my last house people use to stop me to ask questions... moved a couple years ago and starting over.... so much fun.

Thank you Nathan, I really enjoy creating things and come from a long line of women who create with their hands. My mother and Grandmother both were excellent knitters and crocheters (if that is a word!) and my daughter is taking after us. Yesterday I came across a new craft I would like to try called Punchneedle and it looks very easy. I think I could use it to make some small detailed rugs for the dollhouse. Today I am going to research some more but, other than the tool I need to purchase, I have everything else I need due to the other crafts I do so my husband isn't cringing too much, LOL
