Hobbies

Are hobbies old-fashioned? It just seems like nobody around here has a hobby of any kind. Just random things that we like to do every so often. Like cooking. Nobody really thinks of cooking as being a hobby. Although I have decided that I quite like baking. Made my first pie yesterday. wOOt. Turned out pretty well if I do say so. Oops sorry that was 2 days ago...It was pretty much gone by yesterday...Desserts never last long in our house....except ice-cream. Probably cuz my mom buys those big 2 Litre tubs and my dad is usually the only one that eats it on a semi regular basis....But anyways...back to hobbies. What's even considered a hobby? I'd like to think playing piano is a hobby but at what point does it get to be somha'tething more than a hobby? I"ve decided though that I really want to learn how to knit. I learned once upon a long time ago. I helped my sisters make a baby blanket once. They did much of the work though I think I did like 2 squares to their 20 each. Slightly exxagerated there....But nonetheless. I think I want to try knitting again. Unfortunately due to lack of time and money and vehicle, I can't make it to Yorkton to pick up the supplies that one needs to get started and what not. Sigh. Oh well. One of these days maybe. Another thing I want to try one day is making jewellry. Although I'm not exactly known for being artistic at all. Just to try it might be fun. And anyways what is wrong with being old-fashioned. I think there's a sort of beauty in the old fashioned stuff that you can't find in all this new fashioned stuff you see around stores these days. So we will see how these aspirations/inspirations pan out. Hopefully I'll be able to try at least one of them by the end of the year....
