I've inherited a couple of stamp collections over the years. Can't say I had hobbies as such as a child, just outside playing and wandering the forest. Always loved reading so have a library of books these days! |

I do have something else that I don't consider to be a hobby and never intended to do. |

I used to collect the cut-out dolls and clothes from the backs of "Bunty" when I was a young girl. I would have beauty competitions with them :-D :-D |

I used to collect beads, I still have a few of the 'best' hidden away upstairs. I also collected cards from PG Tips tea, stamps, theatre programmes and foreign dolls brought home by my well travelled uncle. |

Sharron you do make the most of your time and you are very innovative. Good to donate bits for children to use. I save bottle tops (milk, tonic bottles etc for my neighbour you is a teaching assistant in an infants school, they make all sorts of things using them. I also donate some of my scrap stuff when it threatens to overwhelm my craft room. |

I can't remember having many hobbies as a child. I was, and still am, a voracious reader. I collected stamps but that was more to please my father than myself. I was a brownie and then a girl guide. |

I don't think I have ever collected things, saw too much of my mother's hoard of junk I think, but I do have far too many books and really must weed before too long. |

That is why I gave up cross stitching pictures, I found it hurt my eyes. My one regret is that I never managed to master crochet other than doing a long chain stitch :-D And I would love to be able to draw and paint too. |

I suppose as a craft style hobby in recent years, I used to stitch printed canvases. A bit like painting by numbers but with wool :-D |

Mmm.. as a child there were stamps, foreign dolls (mainly gifts) and and sew on badges from the places we visited. The badges were sewn onto a rucksack used for GG camping. |
