Fills the talking part alittle to much! :-D I spend all afternoon after work on here and don't get too much of anything done! :-(

I have enough hobbies for me. I tell my girls all the time that they need hobbies, something to do just for themselves, but they don't.

I have a SIL whose house is spotless, she cooks three meals a day, cleans each day and does laundry each day. I can't live like a maid. I need to be doing something creative. Since I quilt the craft show circut, I've started quilting and really enjoy the process. I'm learning. None of my friends quilt or sew for that matter. I can't sit still, I have to be doing something, artsy!

I have often wondered the same thing. What do people do when they don't have hobbies, or some kind of an interest to "get lost" in ? I guess everybody has their own way of doing that.

I belong to a local quilt group and there are lots of people who share my interest in quilting so finding someone else to shop with is never a problem. I agree that not having hobbies, and especially creative hobbies, would make for a boring life for me. Still, I'm not much of a collector and I know people who just delight in the process of collecting stuff. To each her own.

I'm with you. I can't hardly sit & do nothing. When I take my Mom to doctors or any waiting room or watch tv, I always have canvas work to do or read or Xstitch or sew or piece blocks.

I to have no one to quilt with or talk hobbies, the friends i have done have hobbies, but they read, or cook/bake, though they are encouraging in my stuff i show them. Though I have one long distance that we do talk quilting as she quilts also. So to each their own. And thats one reason Im here on the board. DEB
