To ask what hobbies you have?

[Lsquiggles]

I'm so bored and underwhelmed. What do you do apart from work and be a parent?

Knitting
Cross Stitch
Jigsaw Puzzles
Blackwork Sewing
Also just got into soap and Candle making .

Running, gaming, sewing, cross stitch, watching tv and eating 😂

I make my own clothes which is 3 hobbies in one (browsing/buying patterns, browsing/buying fabric and then actually using a sewing machine to combine it all)

I generally do this whilst listening to audiobooks.

I would like to run 3 times a week but I rarely seem to get the time when there is another parent available to look after the children.

I wonder if the amount of sewers/dressmakers here is representative of real life? I don't know of anyone else in my friendship group who does it but there's loads of mnetters seem to.

Reading. Trying new recipes.

I'm trying to cultivate a love of exercise too but that one is still a work in progress.

There is a huge sewing community on instagram and there are loads of independent pattern companies that have started in the last few years. I think the BBC's Great British Sewing Bee has caused a bit of a resurgence for home sewing.

I love it. Nothing I make is 100% perfect but it's my style and I love the process.

At home:
Reading
Learning a language
Crosswords

Out of the home:
Hiking
Cinema and theatre
Yoga
Occasional one off community events...beach clean ups etc

Singing in a chorus. This takes a lot of time with learning all music and attending performances.
Sea swimming
I go to a rock music based aerobics class and occasionally run or cycle (harder to fit in now life had returned)

Reading, walking (just 60-90 minutes a day locally), yoga, gardening (small London garden), learning a language on duolingo and best of all, pottery,

Reading, walking, baking

I have a horse on part loan and ride two or 3 times a week. I also open water swim.
