I have determined I need a hobby.... What's yours

GGMarie1501

So to keep my mind off of eating whenever I get bored... (yes I'm guilty of that) I have determined that I need a hobby. Any good ideas? It can't be too expensive and has to be something I can do at home. Also, feel free to share your hobbies!

I was a studio art major at one time, so I LOVE doing anything art or craft related. I sew, crochet, knit, paint, etc. and I can get lost in the work so far that I forget that I'm hungry

Right now we recently moved into a new house that's a "fixer-upper" so there is plenty to keep us busy but I'm not sure that home-improvement would be considered a hobby.

I enjoy gardening.. It's pretty cheap and the rewards are the best!

I like to do things with my hands so that I can't eat while I'm doing it. I love to read but won't do that except right after a meal. lol

My biggest hobby that keeps my hands busy is crochet. You use both hands which makes it difficutl to eat while doing it unless you constantly stop and start again.

You bet home improvement is a hobby!

I am an amateur meteorologist... sometimes it's not so fun, like last night when storms banged through and my radio woke me up twice...

I make candles...

Its fun creating scents! :bigsmile:

YES! I absolutely need to learn how to knit. Is it difficult to pick up?

I'm looking for some hobbies too, especially something that is unrelated to exercising or eating. I sometimes read or pick up some sudoku books. I'm still stumped though!

i dont really have a hobby..
i guess my hobby is sex..
But i do spend most of my time exercising, and i like exercising because i know it will make me fit.. So maybe thats my hobby..

Pick a hobby you have a passion for -- or it will just be 'work' and we all have toooo much of that! :-)

My passion/hobby is taking rocks (cabochons) and handmade fused glass and making them into something fabulous to wear. http://www.wireinspirations.com

It does help keep my hands busy! My 'hobby' is a bit pricey to start out with though.

How about scrapbooking - use the stuff you already have and just buy the books to put it in. Some of my friends make cute handmade cards. Another one makes fabulous homemade biscotti and sells it online (yup can't eat too much of that now). One is taking up painting (cheap if you go to a hobby store like Michaels).

Have fun finding your passion!

I grow my own veg, get books from the library , haven't knitted for a long while but my fingers are begining to itch! Oh and I classify galaxies on Galaxy Zoo.

I LOOOVEEE to sing. I plug in head phones, youtube my favorite songs and belt it out. I also like to read, (public libraries are your friend) and have made the gym my hobby. I like to go for walks along the track near my house (when I have a friend to accompany me). I like the gardening idea someone threw out. I don't have any place to plant things at the moment, or I would love to be able to plant veggies and pretty flowers.

Just do what you like! Try out as many different things as you can and stick with the hobby you enjoy most.

I am learning how to draw cartoons. Ive been doodling non stop I love making pretty things and my friends have really liked the doodles I made of them.

Guitar or anything with music.

Picking up an instrument requires time, dedication, and practice. It can be expensive to start out for some instruments, but who knows? You could become the world's greatest recorder player with something like $4 down.

Knitting is super easy! There are You tube videos. thats how I learned. The tough part? I just can't get myself to knit during the summer time. I'm knitting a scarf and it's 100+ degrees out. :happy:

Origami. You can use left over wrapping paper if you want. You can buy a book to learn, but I chose the cheap way: youtube.

I used to make a lot of jewellery that I'd sell via a shop my Mum owned. I stopped making them, and my Mum's shop closed anyway (she didn't have time to run it and look after my elderly grandparents). I keep saying I'll pick it up again, but then I log onto fb and the hours vanish...
