Subject: What hobbies do you have?

What is your hobby? Now this is not counting being on the forums, LOL. What do you do to relax.

I like to sew, even though long are the days when we need a heavy quilt to keep warm at night because are homes are much better insulated and are heating systems are much more advanced than in my grand mothers day, I still can help, cutting up old flannel shirts and jeans and stacking them aside until I have enough to make that heavy old quilt. It does not have to be a full size quilt, it can be just a blanket to crash out with on the couch while watching television.

I also like to read a good book, I don't get much read and I am out like a light, reading has always made me tired. So I only do this before I go to bed. I like a good mystery or crime novel. Used to read a lot of Stephen King, don't much any more.

What hobbies do you have? Have you passed them on to the next generations?

Crocheting, I never learned how to do it, but have seen some beautiful work that is done by older ladies, that may be something that you could do with your senior citizens that you work with, they may be into even knitting afgans, you could always ask.

That is a lost art Lunchtime, don't see many people doing it anymore, my grandmother used to do beautiful bed spreads and table clothes, she had the teacups and saucer dollies on her stands, the pieces for on the back of the couch and matching patterns on the arm rests of the chairs.

They were really nice and she would crochet a border to match the curtains in the room. I remember her putting a lot of time into this.

Sounds like a good project for wintertime, dadummy, get out all your old rags and start cutting. Wish I knew how to make an old rag rug, does anyone know how to make them. I would really like to learn, they used to be oval and really popular at one time.

Pull out the ole sewing machine and get to quilting, no better time to think about quilting than in the dead of winter, LOL. Feel that breeze coming through your walls and you know.

Hi lunchtime,

Crocheting is something I have seen my maa doing when I was young. She still does it sometime. She made coasters and cosy, curtains and table cloths. Some of my jeans have a small touch up here and there. It is mainly needle work. I have learned a little of that as well.

I think some of the work is simply amazing, I am not good at doing any of it myself, but have seen my grandmother do some great work, she never taught me how though, she has long passed on and her secrets with her. LOL.

I am into getting done with work! Then I always change my clothes to get out of work mode and into my mode.......what I would wear. I do tanning, walking the dogs and playing fetch. I like to clean because it is productive but it makes me happy to have a clean home. I shower and use olay to refresh my face. I put on the most comfy pj's on and pick a tv show or movie. I talk about positive things to my significant other and laugh as much as I can.. I use lotions, a lavender spray on my pillows, and get the heating pad ready. I right up a to do list to always keep the next day ready to go then lay and relax with a glass of wine ha or if not that then lots of tea and water. Clear my mind and hope to sleep without interuptions in my sleep.
