I have what I consider a unique hobby. I cut and paste from catalogs items that represent past memories and special people in my life. Since the catalogs are free, I have little cost for his hobby, but it can occupy many hours every week.
What do you do for a hobby that is really unusual, unique, maybe ever a bit odd. But please stay real. If it's not something you don't actually do, I don't want false answers. But let me hear of your one-of-a-kind hobbies that you really do for a hobby. Thanks.

I like to design and redesign old items to make new usable items.My mom was good at making do with what we had and I guess I've taken that to a new level. I make denim purses/bags from old jeans. I use all colors of jeans, camoflauge of any color, special textured yarns, beading, embroidery, colored wire,felt that I make into flowers or names,used belts on some for the handles,and lot of creativity. Last week my grandkids and I made paper mache into different things and then painted them a few days later. I just blended some computer paper trash and water and used glue for a little adhesive and it worked. We have ornaments, frames,a cat and mouse, volcanoes and a Mickey Mouse finished. I like to take used clothes and redesign them into one-of-a-kind painted or appliqued cute outfits for my grandaughters. I also make costumes and have surprised many folks that they were homemade.I write and illustrate kids books, poems, short stories, and greeting cards by hand. I have done many paintings, drawings, made many different types of dolls and taught my grandkids to sew. They really like to come to Gramby's house to get to make things. I have them fooled because they think I can do anything and they call me Super Gramby! I've always done some type of creating and it has come in handy since I became disabled. I can't just sit. I do most of my hobbies sitting in my recliner with my tens unit, heating pad, and ice paks going strong! I am not as fast as I once was but I love it and it helps to keep the depression away. I also enjoy reading local history, helping the local museum, helping with the reading program at school, and doing what I can for those in need. Thanks for sharing and asking us to share.

My main hobby is actually finding out about different religions. I'm a Christian, but probably unlike almost any other Christian you'll meet. I have an enormous respect for someone's religion, and I love talking to people about theirs so I can understand them- and other people based on that knowledge- a bit better. I'm busy speaking to some people from the Church of the Latter Day Saints today, they're very pleasant people.
I also make earrings, but somehow I doubt that's terribly unique;-)

I consider what I do a combination of two hobbies. First, if I really enjoy a movie at the theaters or on DVD I immediately see if the movie was based on a book. If it is, I like to then read the book and as I'm reading compare it to the movie I've seen. It can be a lot of fun.
