What is Your Hobby?

I've had a little bit of a hard time adjusting to mommy-hood! I sometimes feel like I'm a slave to my child, my husband and my home. BB (before baby!) I was a workaholic and design and architecture defined who I was. I'm not practicing design right now and I just feel sort of lost.....
I've never had hobbies because I didn't have time for them and not that I have tons of time now but I feel like I need to do SOMETHING that is just for ME.... I don't want it to involve my baby or my hubby. My DH keeps suggesting things like running, etc but I don't consider working out a "hobby". I also wanted to something that doesn't involve tons of money and something that I can commit as much or as little time to as I want.....

So, my question is, what do you ladies do for fun?!

Well I love scrapbooking as it is a hobby I can do in my own time, when I want, take as long as I like and stop when I feel like it. I also love photography and I suppose that goes hand in hand with scrapbooking.

Apart from that I don't really have any other hobbies, last year I trained to become a make-up artist (wedding make-up) but I have yet to actually go out there and do someones 'wedding' day make-up, but I guess this is a hobby.

I wish I had talent for scrap booking, but have realized that I'd better stick to a regular old photo album

I am a musician. I play guitar, sing, and compose my own songs. I also play the piano pretty well, although it's mostly by ear. I can play a few basic beats on a drum set as well.

I also got sick of paying a crap load to get pedicures, as I am a sucker for toe nail art, so I taught myself how to do cute toenail designs, and I plan on going to nail school, they have a night class I can attend twice a week, and I will do that once LM is sleeping through the night completely.

i to love scrapbooking!!! i dont seem to have the time to do it right now, but im excited to get back into it when kaydance gets a little bit older. i will have lots of catching up to do, i havent even started hers, although i have collected a bunch of stuff for it, so its all sitting there in a little bundle just waiting for me lol!

I knit, crochet, sew, cook, play computer games and write web applications.

Odd combination, I know

ummmmm my hobby.......The computer! lol hehe
I dont really have a hobby or more of the fact i dont really have time for a hobby, I would like to get back into volunteer fire fighting which i done for 4 years prior to having jess, but its hard because i cant just up and leave the kids when the siren goes.

Georgi, i would love to get into scrapbooking, its something i have never done, could you tell me how id go about it, is there any programs on the net i can download which will help me out? also is it expensive to get started up?

Oh i make peoples wedding invites by hand. its not a hobby more of a job, ive done a few weddings now. takes a lots of time to do the invites tho.

I love digitalscrapbooking and siggy making !!!!!!

Digi scrapbooking or paper scrapbooking?? That's what you have to decide first really and if you would prefer to do Digi-scrapbooking, Helen would be the one to ask as you can see she is a clever cookie

I love your digi pages Helen they are beautiful!!! Do you find Digi scrapping expensive??

Here are a few of my pages (I haven't taken pictures of any recent ones I have done, so this are about 1-2 years old)

Wow that's interesting....we have Limewire :oops: it's a gamble you take, but I never thought of downloading Photoshop from there, that is a fine idea! I have all the ideas you see to do the Digi-scrapping and I love playing with photo's so I reckon with a bit of practice I might actually be ok at it LOL!!

Thanks for the recommendations babe!!

OMG, we can download programs off limewire, i thort i could only do songs an movies! BONUS! what do i go to to get that in limewire?
lol

I wanna do paper scrapbooking as well so i have something personal to give the kids when they are older but ive never been creative so im not sure how hard it would be but im up to giving it ago!

What other pointers do you have Helen on digi scrapbooking.

kk, all good

oh and by the way, you both have such a talent, i love both lots of scrapbooking, makes me even more determined to do this!

Right well that's a job for me to do then after I have moved all my pictures etc..on to disc, I really need to sort my computer out I have far too many pictures stored on here!!

well be sure to post some up when your fin so we can be nosy!

i only ever do paper scrapbooking, i didnt realize there was so much out there to do digi scrapbooking! thats crazy, but awesome. lol, i sit and labor over the paper and cut pictures up and do all the stickers and rubons and stencils and everything, but i have a lot of fun doing it.

I also LOVE scrapbooking. I do mainly paper scrapbooking, I have done some digitally. I would love how to make siggies, Helen, LOL. The sad thing is being back at work and since having Kian, I really haven't had any time to scrapbook - even though i have tons of pictures.

I agree, I don't count running as a hobby either, LOL. We going running several times a week, but it's a workout. :lol!:

Otherwise, I also like to play music. I play the guitar, the flute and DH and I play guitars together and sing to Kian while he is sitting in his swing.
