What Do You Collect/Whats Your Hobbies?

[Denv12]

Most people have some sort of hobby. The enjoyment and satisfaction of a hobby is a great way to be at peace.

 Who remembers the old K-Tel records of the 60s and 70s? Who's still got them? Yep,I kept mine. Mind you I started collecting the 70s compilation hits albums like Whopper,Ripper,Ripper 76,Explosive Hits 75,Bobby Dazzler,Unreal,etc. Got a great collection too.Even bought the 45s and those box sets of albums like Readers Digest,etc.

As for books I like collecting books. Usually on my favourate cars. I have a lot of self help books. I like things from the past like old toys just like the ones I had as a child. Nothing like brightening your day by looking at old toys taking your back to your childhood.

Over to you: What do you collect/whats your hobbies?

Wilbur Smith books.

My husband used to collect them, then I came on board and have topped up his collection.

We have every Wilbur Smith book ever published, and all First Editions.

I love to read, but havent done much lately. I have read most of the Wilbur Smith books, but not the latest few.

I have been back to collecting soaps and delicious smelling bath products from Lush! Partner just fitted in my new vanity and I'm transforming bathroom into day spa. Well kind of

Hi Everyone,

It is interesting to have a read of some of these threads. People do collect and enjoy so many different things.

Now the weather is cooler, I hope to start crocheting again.

I heard of people making quilts for people in the Armed forces. I thought that was a lovely idea.

Cheers all from Mrs. Dools

Drawing, yet I have lost all motivation.

Wow! It's great to read some great hobbies that I would never have really thought of.
I definitely have found it hard at times to commit to a hobby. Either from Depression keeping me unmotivated or simply feeling alone with no one to share my hobbies with. A lot of my friends arent interested in the things I like.

Personally I love to exercise so that is a great hobby of mine but lately I have really enjoyed trying out new coastal walks where I get to experience nature at the same time as getting exercise. I also enjoy trying new cafes or small restaurants. I always like helping a local business out. It makes me feel like I am giving something back rather than going to bigger chains of restaurants.

I think I might try a few new things after reading this 🙂

Hiya Ellie! 😀

So, I finally succumbed to the colouring-in craze today. I've looked at the books before but the pictures all seemed to be mandalas and Eastern spiritualism type patterns, which I know many people find helpful, in a mindfulnessy type way, but they're just not my thing.

Today I found my kind of colouring book - it's about Paris and Parisan life, so it's all pictures of clothes and shoes and handbags and cakes and ice creams and perfumes, oh and Paris buildings and streetscapes too. But, I mean, a colouring book with shoes and hats and shoes and stuff! YEAH!

Favourite new hobby.

I read biographies, sew a bit (I'm currently making a top), run an Instagram account...but mostly I write fan fiction featuring my favourite bands.

I love letting my imagination explore different scenarios. There is usually a romance element to them, of course, but I have been known to write about death, sexual assault, alcoholism and other dark subject matter, depending on my state of mind.

I draw, when I have the energy to. ;-; As for collecting, I have a big stack of written notes on...useless cat information...
