Hello, I’m Kathy and my favorite hobby is visual art and I love it because it feels like love. I practiced off and on over 10 years

•  I'm a total hiking, camping, and gardening enthusiast. There's just something about being outdoors that gets me.

• Honestly, it's a whole package deal. Hiking gets my adrenaline pumping – exploring new trails, fresh air, those epic views you gotta work for. Camping lets me unplug, unwind under the stars, and reconnect with nature. And gardening? Well, that's like growing my own little piece of paradise, watching things sprout and bloom, and getting my hands dirty – it's super therapeutic!

•  I remember tagging along on camping trips with my family since I was a kiddo. Hiking, probably around the same time. 

I'm not new to the HZ Forum but I am new to this thread, so why not.

I've been an artist for practically my whole life. However, that is not a mere "hobby"...if you do something because you have to do it, if your life is nothing without it, then it's obviously more than a hobby. That leaves the other media of expression.

For a long time my fave hobby was building canes out of various hardwoods. Small-scale woodwork, basically. Have slowed down in the last 3.5 years or so for a few reasons, most of them health-related. Now I don't have a favorite, really.

If you're curious, you can see samples of what I do in this thread. (Yes, it's in Cups & is safe...mostly)
