Finding and developing your hobby
When people think of hobbies art and crafts is one of the first that comes to mind. Being an artist that can actually draw pictures makes this an excellent hobby for me. Not all people can draw but enjoy different types of crafts. Hobbies also can be climbing mountains, fixing watches, bird watching, etc., etc., etc... The ideas will be limitless and I will attempt to add the unusual and unique on future posts.
Art can be an expensive hobby but by slowly adding new tools this can change your hobby into a money making venture. Turning a simple idea into a hobby means exploring all options and finding something that you really enjoy and can expand on as you grow.
I already have a blog dedicated to art that includes drawings, photography, writings, ideas and how to draw on http://anunknownwriterartistandphotographer.blogspot.com/. I will add any new information about different hobbies that involve art both sites. We are in the brainstorming stages of this new blog so stay tuned for more.
Since crafts include anything from woodworking to crafts for children we will explore some individual crafts that can be turned into a hobby that you can expand on. Sometimes it is better to purchase a specific craft from a store that you want to learn initially to give you an idea of how to do it and get some of the tools you will need.
If it is something you enjoy then let your imagination go and get your creative juices flowing. Going beyond the box directions is how you take a simple craft and turn it into your hobby. A less expensive way of finding a craft is to purchase a large book of many ideas so you can zone in until you find something that will interest you.
The Big-Ass Book of Crafts
is a great way to start so you do not waste a lot of money on something you cannot expand into a hobby. Doing a paint by number picture is just a craft that could stop unless you feel that painting was fun and want to take it to the next level and paint your own picture with the leftover paints. This is when a simple craft could help you find a hobby or niche. It is not how well you paint but if you enjoy doing it.

Hobbies and Collector's from A to Z
Having a hobby or being a collector is a great way to relax and this blog is to explore all hobbies and collection's from the ordinary to the odd. I would like to inspire everyone to find a hobby or become a collector so they can enjoy the world and take you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
By sharing a wealth of ideas and information that you feel passionate about may expand the realm of what is impossible to possible. By connecting ideas from people all over the world we will find that hobbies can go beyond the ordinary even though these will be included to help others move their hobby to the next level.
What spurred this simple idea was when I saw a woman that collected hubcaps from cars. She searched high and low for hubcaps of any kind and had the most unique collection. It was like a work of art and she enjoyed this. To some it may seem silly to some but to her it was a lot of fun.
Another more expensive hobby is flying remote control airplanes and helicopters. In the parks you find many people out enjoying the day by flying these remote controlled flying machines. these are just a few topics we will explore and the world of hobbies and collections are endless.
I have seen replicas of the State Capital in Washington made from toothpicks, Lego's turned into works of art, toy train and railroads, rock and butterfly collections and much, much more. The possibilities are endless in the world of hobbies and collections.
I would like to invite other people to share anything about their expertise about specific hobbies, collections and how tos' making this a community blog where we can learn, grow and have fun. Leave me a message or comment on anything that fits this topic and I will gather information and post it.
