Hobby/something you use to do...

scrapping and sewing.

Scrapping, sewing, knitting, tatting, horseback riding. Slowly but surely all are coming back

I haven't scrapped in so long. I have time for it I just never feel the motivation.
I totally love it though, I don't know why the hesitation.

I used to idea up for themed parties.
I don't really do that anymore either.

I still scrap often, but I don't have time to make crafts, folk art paint, or go vintage/antique hunting.

This is me too. 

Reading. My to read list grows and grows. I feel like I have very little downtime to actually read. There's always something else that needs to be done or I want to do but have a time limit on it. The book will always be there.

I want to bake more but have almost no countertop space and even less pantry space so not a lot of baking and big meals are done here.

I want to walk more. Just leisurely walks where there's no worry about time or destination. Nope. Got things to do. And it never fails. I have a day of nothing to do and it's crappy weather.

Sewing. I learned to sew when DD was a baby. A friend and I took sewing lessons every Friday night for years, but they stopped just before DS was born. He turns 11 tomorrow, and I have barely sewed at all in the last 11 years apart from the odd repair (which I HATE having to do).  

I've been able to scrap a little bit, but hope to really get going again this fall. Same with stamping, card making and sewing which I haven't done much of anything at all in months except for the occasional quick birthday or sympathy card. I also would like to finish the mosaic project I started--TWO years ago! It would be lovely if I could ever get it done.

I miss watching tv, all the shows I like come on at DD's bedtime which means I miss every one. Even if I did happen to catch one episode, I haven't seen anything in so long I wouldn't even know what's going on. If I catch the nightly news I'm lucky.

I miss baking because DH doesn't want that stuff in the house. He can ignore store bought Oreos but never homemade chocolate chip cookies! They are his kryptonite. Brownies and homemade bread are mine.

I have things that I haven't done for a while, but I always bounce around from one thing to another anyway, so it doesn't feel like I've given them up. I just go in spurts.

I still scrapbook and make cards but don't have time to quilt, sew, do mosaics, cross-stitch or much knitting.

Digi Scrapping for me too - I just can't seem to muster the time and inclination at the same time for some reason now. I used to love designing and making vinyl cut outs with my Cricut and also love to bake but haven't really done either of those things recently.

Reading and writing. I used to write a lot - I have notebooks/files/laptops full of it. But right now, it seems to take too much intellectual effort at the end of day. I compromise with audio books but it's just not the same somehow.

I was literally just thinking this morning that I have been working non-stop for a few weeks. My entire weekends have been taken up with writing lectures, working on labs, etc. for a new class I'm teaching this semester. I love the challenge, but I have definitely become more grumpy over the last couple of weeks. I've decided that this weekend, 100% of it, is mine!

Cooking and entertaining! Before we had kids my husband and I would throw brunch and dinner parties for our friends. I'd make invitations, arrange flowers and set the table to look like Martha Stewart was coming by. I loved getting out all my serving platters and dishes and all the other items we received as wedding presents. We have so many good memories of those parties.

One of my favorite parties (we did it a few times) was to have people over for brunch. Bloody Marys and mimosas to start the day!

Now we have three girls and they all play soccer. We always have an early morning game so we're lucky to grab a piece of fruit and coffee.
