Genealogy,

I spent the first 50 years of my life with hardly any idea where my heritage originated. I became involved 7 years ago. Since then, I've learned of my Acadian decent, the extreme hardships of my ancestors and how very fortunate I am to be here today. It's quite a story and I enjoy sharing it with others who are not aware of the Acadian deportation.

my friends once described me as having so many hobbies, it's like trying to juggle with a lapfull of balls of yarn! Personally, I don't see what's wrong with having a choice of things to do

currently: I sew and sometimes compete costumes - both historical dress outfits and SF/F costumes. I also co-own probably the biggest website on how to make costumes and analyzing movie costumes (largely Lord of the Rings).
I inherited my grandmother's lifetime work of genealogy and occasionally do something with it (it's actually quite fascinating. she took quite a few lines very far back).
I'm having a grand time making hats (both costume and regular).

I've been known to enter my cats in cat shows, I have made baskets both out of reed and out of willow, years ago I played recorder and guitar - though not at the same time, I like to read - mostly mysteries or Fantasy, and I was an historical re-enactor (like the Civil War or Rev War folks - but for Viking age). I've tried pottery and leatherwork, but have not done very well with those so they are only as needed if I can't find someone else.

YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT HOBBIES, my wife has more hobbies than i have fingers and toes. LOL we have a room i set up just for her so she can be organized and have a plce to keep all her stuff. she does everything from scapbooking to polymer clay to plastic canvas. there aren't to many things she cant do. but me i just work on cars for a hobbie and collect tools. LOL

I like anything crafty. I'm a newbie at making Cedar Oak lamps because i have so many cedar trees on my land in TN. I decided to try to be creative with it. Here's my first lamps i made for my brother and sister before and after pictures.







And i enjoy making these christmas balls for the holiday season. My ex-sister in law asked me to make her new family some balls in silver and blue for her christmas tree theme.






I made this one for my boss.

yeah dannielle, do you sell those lamps? my wife loves moose and she really liked that lamp.

First and foremost, I'm a musician. I've been playing most of my life, with the emphasis on drums. I also play guitar and a little bass. I had been playing in a few church bands recently, but now I'm down to one (every Sunday). I'm in the early stages of forming a Christian rock band to tour locally. I'm very dedicated to youth ministry and the importance of God to our teens. I guess it's grown beyond just a "hobby".

As mentioned in another thread, I collect Warner Bros. cartoons. I have a large collection on all types of media. I have rare recordings of Mel Blanc doing improv and some stuff on Super 8. Recently I've been converting stuff from other media to DVD to preserve it for a long time.

Like JFR, I also love cars. I've been in the auto industry for over 20 years. I've turned wrenches, but I have been in the parts industry now for 18 years. I've had all manner of cars, over 100 in all. I also love motorsports of all kinds with World Rally racing being my favorite.

Lastly, I like to go off-roading. I have a Honda 4-wheeler and a Kawasaki KDX220 trail bike that I take to the Berkshires and have fun on the trails with. I've had motorcycles a good deal of my life and really enjoy riding. My next endeavor is to take my Nissan Pathfinder off road. I'm starting to set it up with a suspension lift and larger wheels. Then I can tackle some real trails.
