I am trying to find inspiration to get something that will occupy my idle hours.

Sewing and reading at the moment. But, Monday I start a six week (twice a week) aerobics class and the following Monday, I start a nutrition class, so my new hobby is getting as healthy as I can be
 .I've decided I sit too much in front of the TV, though I usually enjoy it. I used to watercolor paint and still would like to do more of that, and will someday. Most of the things I do or did, are 'by my self things and sit down activities, so I need to be moving more and getting out with other people. Hope you find an inspiration Sabina! Life for me is boring when I'm in that same place. Gardening and kayaking in warm weather toooooo. __________________

Reading, kniting, playing my harp, and in the summer gardenning on my balcony.
Kniting is great, I learned how to knit when I was in the psych hospital, and it kept me sane during the year I was unemployed recovering from depression and addiction - that year all my friends and family got scarves for Christmas. --splitimage __________________  "I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

I used to paint all my sweatshirts and t-shirts...Now should bleach splatter on a shirt I just paint flowers or whatever over the spot..... I don't know how I splatter so much bleach, but it seems all my shirts have a sparkly flower or star either on the sleeve or plastered across the front. So I guess my hobby is painting t-shirts...

Poetry, Painting and Photography.
Does Shopping count as a hobby?? Because I'm pretty good at that, too. =) I used to LOVE gardening, but it's not really possible in the city. I still keep small potted plants around the house. I think bulb flowers are really magical, they totally fascinate me. So much so, that my husband and I once considered buying a 100 year old house on 6 acres in the middle of missouri to start a lily farm. Instead, I grew 200 potted lilies in my back yard, that ended up moving cross-country with us, and found a permanent home in my parents yard. =) I've tried scrap-booking, knitting, sewing, and many other hobbies over the years, but I'm not good at sticking to things for the most part. I made a lot of little dresses and shirts for my dogs once, lol. That was fun! (for me) hehehe |

Gosh, you all have so many hobbies. How inspiring. Mine, when I actually do them are singing and reading. I read more than I sing these days. (I sing light opera). I have tried scrap-booking, but it really is a moment in time sort of thing and had to really grab the mood. I would tend to my garden but I kind of hate gardening. Such a chore.
Thank you all for sharing. Keep them coming - I need the inspiration!! __________________ Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long. |

Reading, dogs, astrology, and probably more, but I can't think of anything else right now.

I've enjoyed writing poems since 1978 and I have added photography to that over the years. Peace - Dennis

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
