I also love reading as you can see from the bookshelf. One of my dreams is to have a whole room designated to be a library. I read whenever I have time to spare, such as on the car or waiting for an appointment. I like historical fiction, biographies, and fantasy the best, but I'm willing to read anything (except horror novels lol) from commentaries to murder mysteries.
(I also like buying books )

Have you read any David Grann books? I heard an interview with him several weeks ago and I think I might like to check a couple out:

I have more hobbies than time.
My first hobby is knitting. My Grandma taught me when I was about 5. I'm a lefty, so she taught me to mirror her- so I knit backwards. lol I have since learned to knit "righty". I love to make fingerless gloves, sweaters, socks, hats.

The short sleeve sweater is made from my handspun yarn, and the mitt was spun, designed and knit by me.

I almost forgot the knitted chicken doorstop!

My 2nd hobby is spinning yarn. I have spun from store bought roving, locks, in the grease right off a fleece, and any other way you can think. I have 3 manual wheels and an electric. It is so soothing to sit and just get a rhythm going while listening to music or podcasts.

Top is BFL/silk, mix of BFL, Targhee, Merino & Corriedale. The singles on the bobbins are Finnish Landrace.

Hobby number 3 is sewing/quilting. Don't have the time to do this as often as I'd like, but I'm always thinking about projects. I learned to sew in home ec in 7th grade.

All sewing machine covers come with cats. lol

Back & front of quilt for daughter & son in law.

I enjoy working with wood. Here are two examples - I carve and paint wooden decoys, shore birds and song birds as well as make twig furniture. This decoy is a Wood Duck Drake in sleeping position. the table is made with sycamore legs and the trim around the top is made of split twig sections of tulip poplar.

I love doing photography, all kinds but I love taking pictures of plants and flowers, expressly those I've grown myself!
