I love flea markets and bargain shopping. Collecting cookbooks, kitchen gadgets, teddy bears and Winnie The Pooh anything.

I'm a woodworker in real life and I'm lucky because I love what I do and even though I do it for a living, it really is more like a hobby in the fact that I enjoy it so much.

I also build models, play guitar (not often enough), and go shooting. I don't hunt because I don't have the stomach for gutting and cleaning, but I do enjoy target shooting and find it very relaxing.

Reading (seems like a common one), pewter casting (raw amateur at it yet), messing around with computers, astronomy. It all keeps me pretty busy.

What about hobbies we hope to ONE DAY seek out and embark upon?

I hope to one day make time to learn to play cello- or the harp. I also speak just enough Spanish to make me wish I were fluent- so I'd love to take classes at some point. I'd love to learn to work a potter's wheel, and also work in stained glass. And learn to make bent willow furniture!
