If you had more spare time....

Most of us have a hobby that we've dabbled in at some time or another but I find we just don't have the time to fully pursue it. One of my hobbies is making my own earrings and selling them on Ebay. Because of work commitments and a busier social life, I just don't have the time to do it anymore, and my jewellery box is getting dusty!
What hobbies do/did you have that you wish you could spend more time on?

I love to craft- I like to make wood crafts the most- But who has the time- I used to make all kinds of primitive wood crafts- Signs, figures- it was alot of work but alot of fun! I just simply ran out of time- Me and 4 girls would meet once a week and work on 1 project each- It seemed we always got a lot done this way- I gave alot of them away for Christmas presents- I have people now asking me where did the homemade gifts go- LOL If I ever have time again I'll craft again!

I would LOVE to start doing wood work! At high school I was the only girl in my woodwork class and I just loved it. The thing with wood work is that most of the things you make are really useful. I made a fold up chair, a table, a knife rack and a spice rack!

I used to do a lot of dressmaking, well more costume design and make really. I enjoy designing outfits and making them up and I have sold one or two in the past. Since I became unemployed I hve been thinking of taking it up again and maybe selling a few of my creations on eBay, but somehow there never seem to be enough hours in the day.

I really wish I could make clothes. I always get ideas in my head abotu what I want to wear and I can't find clothes like that ANYWHERE!...until they come into fashion 5 years later then if I do end up wearing them I'll just look like a fashion victim....IT's not fair! I need to learn to sew.
I can sew buttons on..... hand sew.,..

I guess mine would be taking enjoyable strolls in parks. I do the walking for exercise in a neighborhood, but I'd like to enjoy the nature around me. Of course, I only feel safe in parks when I'm with someone, so I'd have to find a friend who was free...

Yes that's the thing. I love taking my dog for walks at a bike path/bush/creek nearby but i only go when my fiance is with me. Safety first!

gardening. Actually, I am building a greenhouse this summer, and I really wish I could quit my job and spend all my time working on the farm. I'm glad I get to start a greenhouse and plant flowers and vegetables and maybe sell some for a bit of income, but I'd love to do it full time!

I used to make papercrafts a lot. Sometimes I would even bring them to school. The biggest one I made took me an entire week.
But one day it rained so heavily it went inside my house and destroyed some. I didn't stop then, but when the stupid househelp put all of them in a bag, shoved them inside my closet, and put bags on top of them--effectively flattening them all--I got infuriated. All my work was gone in a single stroke, and because of this I kind of don't want to start again anytime soon.

If I had more spare time I would want to get my scrapbooks caught up. I am so far behind.
