Hobbies?

Just wondering what some of you do when you aren't spending time with the dogs? I have recently been working on decorating my doll house that has been in the basement for years. Now with the boys both in college I have dragged it back out again. I am putting a chair rail up in the master bedroom but have delayed that while I turned it around to decorate the porch for the holidays.

That's a really nice doll house!
I garden - love digging in the soil - as do most of the dogs I've owned




And I've been a quilter for about 20 years

Oh wow! I wish i was crafty...

In our free time, my hubby (enan here on newf.net) and I participate in 18th century living history reenactments around the midwest. He is in the infantry and I am a fifer / musician with the group...





I am also an avid hobbyist photographer and currently taking classes at a local technical college.

That's an easy one!!
Ever seen a Paint-aloosa?? Appy Paint mix.... craziest legs I've ever seen!

Reminds me of a recent thread about breeding for color :)




I like the colored ones..

oh, oh.... I wanna keep bees too!!!

N.N get together... for Rescue aid... I'm sure even as a Newbie you'll find out about it quick enough!! Just get started on that "Newf" themed quilt!!!! If you need funds for material, I'll be the first one to offer to 'chip in'.

When is the next get together? It takes about 2 months to make one of these....unfortunately working full time gets in my way :LMAO:

and I just took up home renovations and woodworking, as I am almost finished making my own cabinet doors for the kitchen and I finished installing new siding and windows in my house around a month ago. Though this hobby is the result of me being cheap! :)

Oh yea, I also have a fascination with slot-cars, even tried making my own once!

well guys my hobbies are pretty tame compared to some of yours.
I have an allotment where hopefully most of my stuff grows, I knit, read and watch films and we bought a bigger caravan this year for our new addition so try to go away and relax when possible.

Wow, I'm so impressed with all the talent on this board.

I race sailboats big and little:



And I garden. In fact I'm on my way to becoming a master gardener ... took the class, passed the test, just have to get my volunteer hours in:

I love antique shopping. I can walk around store's for hours just admiring things. Once I got newfies I turned to newfie antiques...

Some of my favorite's...











This I love. A newfoundland you can ride!! This is very old, but obviously was'nt used....Emily is only modeling it...









My house looks like a victorian shrine dedicated to the newfoundland dog.

At least for now Allen still calls this my 'hobby'. But it does include Beau.




Look under NN Get togethers for past years events. The last three years it's been held at Rhonda and Troy's brothers place which is perfect. Rhonda collects different Newf related objects (bunches and bunches) for a raffle and auction. All the proceeds goes to the Newfoundland Club rescues that have members attending. PLUS IT IS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU LAUGH UNTIL YOUR STOMACH HURTS!!!
