Beading and jewelry making are recent things for me...I was heavily into rubber stamping and paper crafts, and I'm enjoying finding ways to incorporate all of that gorgeous paper into jewelry. (I've never liked scrapbooking - ugh. All of our photos are in boxes under the bed where they belong.)
I studied cake decorating and was very much into it for several years. (My very first decorated cake was my wedding cake! After pulling that off, everything else was easy.) I haven't done so much in recent years, but some of the more recent publications have rekindled my interest.
I've also begun exploring altered clothing and making bags and purses. I want to take some sewing classes and get one of those smaller new computerized sewing machines - the one I have is over 20 years old, huge, heavy and I dread when I have to get it out of the closet to use it. Perversly, however, I love making Halloween costumes, even though I basically only know one stitch and that machine hates me. I have a trunkful of costumes that I'm always loaning out.
Unfortunately, between working fulltime and collaborating with my husband, I don't have as much time as would like to work on all of my projects. I'm praying for the day we get out of pre-preproduction and actually get paid so I can cut my work hours. I'm SO looking forward to being a full-time screenwriter and having my weekends for my projects, as opposed to being a full-time operations coordinator and having my weekends for the writing.
Oh, and I've also been looking into belly dancing and race car driving. I wanted to learn theatrical fencing, too, but I have bad wrists. (Carpel tunnel from the writing and the motorcycle - had to give up one, and since I need to write like I need to breathe, the bike had to go).
Hmm. Looking back over what I've written makes my life seem so much more interesting than it's seemed to me. My husband thinks I have too many interests. I just stare at him blankly when he says things like that and wait for him to go away.
