Sorry posting this here couldnt find new topic in the G&P section. Hi everyone we all love our Mice and other pets.I was wondering what other hobbies do you enjoy collecting, reading aerobics :? (not for me).I collect toys many since childhood, lead figures, also comics and gardening books .I also love listening too james last and His orchestra and going to concerts when He is in the UK which He is in April 2011, I love gardening even though I only have a small patch now. I have many tubs with spring flowers in tulips, Hyacinths, Polyanthus sold My house with an acre of land so gave up my Foreign finches which I used too breed and show also show bantams RIR, Blue Laced Wyndotes,Black Pekins and 3 greenhouses.When I moved I kept My Streptocarpus and Pelargonium colections enjoy going too flower shows when I can. Now I have many tubs with spring flowers in tulips, Hyacinths, Polyanthus.I started keeping Mice 5 years ago as moving too a smaller place I still wanted too keep some form of livestock I received some mice from exhibition stock Siamese and Fawn Satin, and sent for a trio of spiny mice and some naked mice.

I'd love to see some photos of the lead figures you've collected.

Well ... I work with animals, I keep animals at home and I like photographing animals. I also love going on holiday in my little motorhome.

I like animals I am a vet, so a lot of my spare time is taken up with studying and keeping up to date with things. Have my mice and gerbils and my cat to keep me busy!

Then when I'm not doing those, I like being creative - drawing/painting, sculpting and making costumes are my current hobbies I have my own website for my pictures:

Apart from my lovely mice, I enjoy following horse racing (flat and national hunt) and the georgian era 1714 to 1830. Mostly interiors and architecture. I love nature and basically enjoying time to myself. I also love art and studied graphic design many moons ago, but don`t really draw or paint much these days sadly.

Mainly Animals.

I have snakes, frogs, inverts, cavies, rats, mice, cats, a dog; so plenty to keep me busy.

I like watching Cricket and Rugby and I also enjoy retro gaming.

Aside from my mice I have always needed to be near horses, I used to have my own but I don't have the time or the money to have my own any more so I ride once a week at my local stables and try to keep my "hand in" helping plait and prepare a fiends horses for events.

I also love Ballet(watching not doing! Now that would be a sight :lol: ) My son is in his penultimate year at vocational school, training as a classical ballet dancer so it kind of plays a large and important part of my life which is great as it has always been a love of mine and gives me an excuse to go to the theatre a little more often!

I give power-kiting a go once in a while when I'm not feeling too fragile( my husband and son are into it) it's really good fun but can lead to some embarrassing moments- usually when there are other people around! :lol:

I am also becoming an interested spectator in the sport of Wheelchair Fencing in which my other son now participates, it's such a fast sport, I'm having a job understanding the scoring but I'll get there!

So that's me and my spare time taken care of!

My animals/farm

I enjoy going to Cavy and Rabbit shows, volunteering for 4-H, knitting/crochet, being creative, sewing, and photography.

 

[mumseymouse]

Sometimes I have a creative "block" ( much like writer's block) in making my mice. My creative thoughts get 'jump started' when I get a special order request or someone challenges me to come up with a specific mouse. During those down times, I enjoy crossstitching, crocheting and doing puzzles. I always have to be doing something.

 

[PPVallhunds]

[geordiesmice]
