How do you keep your hands busy?

When I'm not working out, I make tutus...hundreds and hundreds of tutus! This is my way of keeping my hands busy so I'm not snacking all day long!

Has anyone else picked up hobbies or habits since starting this journey?!

    Right now I am making file folders for my girls to play with and it is taking up all sorts of time. I need to come up with something once I am done.

    I cross stitch while watching tv. Can't eat and stitch at the same time and watching tv or a movie is when I'm really likely to snack.

    My almost finished Tatty Teddy. Just needs the backstitching doing but I keep putting it off coz the designs are a nightmare to backstitch

    My latest work in progress is 3 Labrador puppies sleeping.

    This is making me think that doing something would help. I read, but it's easy to snack and read.

    I haven't done that...but I *HAVE* gone to forward a text to someone, and forwarded it to the person that originally sent it...really embarrassing. But I think you win that war.

    I do stained glass and glass on glass mosaics, make bead trees (christmas and bonsai), and I love to knit and crochet oh and in my spare time love to volunteer at my husband's school working with middle school kids doing art projects. Although I will say with the increase in cost of supplies for stained glass I have done much less of that recently.

    Where's mine?


    I spend a lot of time online when I'm not busy with my jobs... but it's really easy to snack. I'm actually currently looking for a hobby, so this thread may give me some ideas! =)
