Share a hobby you do or have done
Hi there. Hobbies are fun. They teach us how to express things we cannot express at work or in relationships. They reveal a hidden part of ourselves that is really crying out to be expressed.
What is a ...
Hobby you do that makes you feel good?
Hobby that you have done ?
Hobby that you would like to do. ?
I have done music at various times of my life. Now my creative energies are going into exercise and helping others, but I still get a thrill listening to these improvisations I did more than 10 years ago.

@soulsings
Your impros are so good for calming and soothing...
@soulsings
Hi there,
Thank You for sharing this!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@soulsings
I love music as well. I played multiple instruments in the past. I enjoy cooking, organizing, decorating, I have a pet which is part of my family (aka....princess fur pants and she is my Velcro dog). I used to love cross stitch but not as much time for that now days. I enjoy reading but wish I had more time for that as well.
And of course, my volunteer work that I do here on 7 cups!
@PhoenixArisen that all sounds really nice. I am curious to see any of your work if you have a pic.
If you want to share your music, if you have an mp3 you want to share would love to hear your music. You can record or upload here https://clyp.it/online-voice-recorder and then copy the link you get and paste it back here.
@soulsings How do you upload a picture here?
@Cammiecat here are the instructions I was given
1) choose the picture you want to share by using Left Click (first finger) on it (until it is alone on the page and shows it's address on the web, and it's size).
2) Right click (Middle finger) and select "COPY" from the little menu that opens;
3) go to the place where you want to post it,, here on 7Cups there is a line of choices at the top of the Post Page;
4) at the far right, next to the smiley face is a square box with mountains in it; Left click on that. another little window will open over the one where you've been (or would be) typing .
4) at the top of the new window is a long little rectangle that says URL at the top; Right Click on that and the little menu should let you select "PASTE"; Left click on that and your picture address will show up in that little search box.
5) go to the very bottom of that "IMAGE PROPERTIES" page, and Left Click on OK;
6) at the top of that window is a little X, which will close that window and your picture should show up on the window where you wanted it.
@soulsings So basically it's just a copy and paste operation. That is good news. You'll have to look for some pictures from me in the near future.
@soulsings Mostly I do music -- write songs, play guitar, sing... This year I participated in FAWM - February Album-Writing Month
I only wrote five songs this year, but it was a lot of fun and I'll probably write more next year.
(I'm not sure whether I can link to my page there, since it points to my blog, website, social media, etc. and 7cups prohibits providing outside contact information.)
@stressBear that is really inspiring
If you have an mp3 you want to share would love to hear your music. You can record or upload here https://clyp.it/online-voice-recorder and then copy the link you get and paste it back here.
@soulsings You can find some of my songs at https://clyp.it/user/jful3jic
You probably want to start with <a href="https://clyp.it/2gvgsxn3" >Twenty-First Century Breakup Song</a> and its companion piece <a href="https://clyp.it/5fiyleg1" >Besties</a>, which I wrote for FAWM 2019. For some reason, all of the songs I wrote for FAWM have something to do with vehicles: <a href="https://clyp.it/em0s1z54" >Weird Load</a> was a collaboration with my sister N.
<a href="https://clyp.it/tuahyjja" >The River</a> is probably my best love song.
We'll see what kind of mess 7Cups makes of the links.
@stressBear Yup. It's a mess.
@soulsings Hey there soul, loving this post....
Here are my answers:

@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp what books are you into lately?
@soulsings
I am on a Logotherapy ebook her author sent to me... Please remind me of this tomorrow, and I will post the title.
Hobbies? I guess my playing and singing classifies as that, the only thing I do for fun. I used to write poetry and songs, but that is long since over, I can't write that stuff anymore.
@Offmytrack playing and singing is wonderful. If you have an mp3 you want to share would love to hear your music. You can record or upload here https://clyp.it/online-voice-recorder and then copy the link you get and paste it back here.
My hobbies include:
reading
knitting
gardening
trading postcards with people from all over the world (collecting postcards)
volunteering for animal rescue organizations
coloring
I would like to start adoing photography as a hobby.
I knit. Socks mostly. Intricate designs. I love socks. I have no idea why. I just want my feet to be happy..
I also am a colorist. I do intricate (there's that word again) shading and wild colors. It's really fun. passes the time.
I used to like origami.
@kindofblue I did origami once. Kind of amazing to make something from piece of paper.
@soulsings
My best origami is making star wars ships from a strip of paper. It is so much fun because you can play with them on flat durfaces like tables to blow on them and flip your oppnent or drice them off the table.Amazing fun. I woukd give you the schematics but noone helped me yet how to attach a pic from a smart phone..
@bubblyPineapple5283 - that sounds like a cool way to combine old and new things!
@soulsings - yes! some of the foldings are amazing
I love that -) @soulsings
Years ago I used to make my own Artist dolls, I was a member or the British Doll Artists. And had my own small kiln.. I used to make my own sculptures and moulds it was a lovely time x@soulsings
Used to make Porcelain Art dolls, these were ones I sculpted and made the moulds then fired in my own Kiln . They were mostly mermaids and elves I did it for 10 years and was a member of the Bristish Doll Artists
then it all went out of fashion lol @soulsings
