Sometimes I get on a reading kick, got nice coloring books and pencils and a dedicated craft room. On a regular basis I made fleece blankets for a FB group in part of that makes blankets for boxers (dogs) in rescue/foster. And I guess making "fun shaped food" for LO is also a hobby :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609601 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 07:02:15 +0000 looch 2609601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to do something with the yarn stash I have, so I am going to make some dryer balls (wind them up and felt them) and then tassel garlands for Christmas. I really don't use knitted scarves and hats, so it's a challenge to find stuff to do with all this yarn I've accumulated. I have two skeins that i want to make into a knitted stocking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609562 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 03:00:42 +0000 sandy 2609562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading and crafting. </p> <p>Right now my "hobby" has been home organization. I'm trying to declutter and organize my house. I am tackling one closet/space/room at a time. I'm trying to find ideas online about how to organize certain things - the best I've found so far is organizing all the warranties and manuals in binders and organizing cables/cords in large fishing bait/tackle boxes.</p> <p>I feel like clearing out and organizing toys and kids clothes is a never ending project as well</p> <p>Next on my list is to redo my pantry. I feel like I clean it every few months so I need to find a system where it just stays super organized all the time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609556 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 01:23:45 +0000 sunny 2609556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jadj13: beautiful quilts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609501 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 20:58:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2609501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is Pinterest a hobby? Haha. Mine is reading and yoga. Some lifting but we have a small space so it's just dumbells, nothing fancy of super heavy but it's really fun to me (and free!). I really love to cook but I really hate standing in the same general spot for long-ish periods of times so I don't really do much of it aside from making 30 minute dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609481 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 20:30:54 +0000 Ms. RV 2609481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like doing home improvements... refinishing cabinets, putting in new light fixtures, installing new floor, backsplashes, landscaping. It is an expensive hobby but I justify by saying it adds value. Plus it is fun to teach DD about tools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609382 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 17:03:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2609382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: my grandma crocheted that same fox for my son! Problem is, I let him play with it, and it didn't last more than a year :( so sad cause it's sooo cute. </p> <p>Mostly reading! Full time working, full time student - so I don't have a lot of time for hobbies. I do try and workout pretty regularly. First trimester got me down to only about 2x/week though haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609380 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:58:35 +0000 Synchronicity 2609380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: right? I would like an amigurumi zoo. </p> <p>@MaryM: I would have to brush up on my crochet skills first, but I did know how once upon a time. That's very encouraging though, thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609312 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 14:54:28 +0000 psw27 2609312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess knitting, reading and baking. But I'm kind of a first trimester blob lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609296 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 14:38:41 +0000 caterw 2609296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I'm 30 weeks pregnant, my hobbies are sleeping, putting my feet up, taking care of my toddler, and trying to keep up with cooking and housework. I have a couple of sewing projects that I need to finish before DD's birthday in October- this thread reminds me that I need to finish those ASAP!!! When I'm not pregnant I also like to read and help out on political campaigns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2609035 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 10:35:06 +0000 Jadj13 2609035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I color while watching TV in the winter, but mostly I like to sew.<br /> I'm on a big quilting kick lately, made these two in the past month! </p> [attach=5401/16/ocdcmj.531x600.FullSizeRender.jpg] [attach=5401/16/ocdcmk.450x600.IMG_4554.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2608989 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 09:50:16 +0000 MaryM 2608989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: if you can do basic crochet, you can totally make them! Start with a simple shape (I did a tube shaped dog). </p> <p>The only hard/frustrating part is that it's usually done with little needles so you need good light and patience to find the right hole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2608833 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 07:11:41 +0000 ValentineMommy 2608833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Those are adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2608825 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 06:51:49 +0000 Synchronicity 2608825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a lot, have a couple of colouring books that haven't been touched in a while and have dabbled with writing in the past. Reading is the only thing that I've consistently done for as long as I can remember. </p> <p>I'd LOVE to learn how to crochet amigurumi animals! Not sure I have the skills or the patience, but they are so cute! </p> [attach=3760/16/ocd2ad.600x600.lisathefox2.jpg] [attach=3760/16/ocd2ae.269x320.Img_0318_small2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2608813 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 05:44:37 +0000 ValentineMommy 2608813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rotate a lot.

Sleeping is what I do when I have free time. Or baking :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2608548 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 15:02:22 +0000 krispi 2608548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When and if I have the time, I really enjoy baking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2607368 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 15:00:26 +0000 Mrs D 2607368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knitting... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2607361 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:52:31 +0000 avivoca 2607361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a lot of sewing and reading. Sometimes I color. When I'm not pregnant, I go to fitness classes and run with my daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2607358 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:47:19 +0000 MaryM 2607358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rotate hobbies a lot. I did some coloring recently, and quilting, but have been doing more crochet most recently. It's easier to do while watching TV and DH and I have been watching the olympics. </p> <p>I've been working on this wrap/scarf for the last week, but in a palate of corals instead of rainbow. </p> [attach=4748/16/oc69mv.226x300.l50239a-226x300--1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2607351 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:36:34 +0000 youboots 2607351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love shooting a random roll of film in my backyard. I work on our yearly family photo album- just 4x6 in sleeves- last year it was over 1000 photos so it's a lot of work. Cooking. In the past I've painted- mostly watercolor. </p> [attach=5281/16/oc694y.399x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-home-hobbies#post-2607347 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:28:41 +0000 Bao 2607347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some of your hobbies that you enjoy doing, that you can do at home? </p> <p>I was in a huge coloring phase, but kind of put that off for a while as I got sucked into a reading phase! So that's my current hobby. There are other things I would like to try but that will have to be in the future. </p>
