Winter and Summer Touch Rugby, both kids have grown up around both of us playing that, they always come with us when we play. I won't be playing winter touch due to impending arrival, nor will I get a chance to play summer as it starts after Labour weekend I don't reckon I'd be ready to play by then. So will look at playing again in the New Year.

Other than that, I love to read, my book shelf is bulging with books and I've read them all at least twice. ]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 19:37:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145352&title=hobbies#145352 <![CDATA[Hobbies : RE Scrapbooking sites.

RE Scrapbooking sites. A heck of a lot of them are US based, so they are all Guy Fawkes, winter christmas etc.. One that I have been looking at is this one.. Unlike the others it is Australian based so is a bit more relevant to people in the Southern Hemisphere... (Summer christmas stuff etc). Apparently it is really easy. Just clicking and dragging sort of stuff!!! Right up my alley! ... This is something that I want to get into. Some of the Layouts in the Gallery area are FANTASTIC!!!]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 18:51:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145317&title=hobbies#145317 <![CDATA[Hobbies : Hi My hobbies include: Lurking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145269&title=hobbies#145269 Author: Rackhell

Hi

My hobbies include:

Lurking on ohbaby
Reading (though after baby is born, this will go right out the window i suspect)
Sorting out new house-to-be built details (lucky i love fiddly stuff)
Walking
Sleeping (not strictly a hobby, but do seem to spend quite a bit of time doing this...)
Coffeeing and shopping

and must have my Dr Phil fix!

You're right Andie, I don't get much time to myself. And my instrument is no more child-friendly - children under 18mos can't seem to handle the pitch of the flute Fortunately most of my hobbies can be done with kids in tow.

My hobbies:
Cooking/baking
Walking
Having people over
Chatting on OB (it's my support group!)
Reading self-help/psychology books but too much of that is a drain.

I don't watch TV during the day - it's a principle thing, especially now that the girls are older/awake more. TV is after 7pm at my place.

Those 4-gen puzzles sound so fun!]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 15:36:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145164&title=hobbies#145164 <![CDATA[Hobbies : I&#039;m an amatuer scrapbooker...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145101&title=hobbies#145101 Author: BabyOnBoard

I'm an amatuer scrapbooker and writer, so hard to find time within my studies and I'm not expecting that to change with bubs. I love the whole vegie/herb garden thing also, just waiting for the new house so I can get started.
Puzzles also - but only when the whole family gets round the table (all four generations) and does it together! So much fun]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 14:16:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145101&title=hobbies#145101 <![CDATA[Hobbies : Oh no!

Ditto! You should see my house right now.

I am a reader and love breast feeding because I can read all I want and am completely justified in doing so!
I also have a new bike sitting in the garage that I should ride more often, but haven't got there yet. Before DD I played netball, but I am too scared of getting knocked in the chest with tender BF boobs to play this season! LOL!

I too have so far resisted scrapbooking cos of the potential expense, but Dollar value have some flash looking stuff for cheap so I might just start a scrapbook for Isla some day soon. I have painted things for Isla's room, and made her some toys to play with.
I am also in the process of making a blokit collage of black and white pics of Isla.
Got a birth coss stitch before Isla was born that I havent even started,..I WILL finish it before her first birthday,..yeah right ]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 13:31:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145069&title=hobbies#145069 <![CDATA[Hobbies : I forgot to mention photography...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7495&PID=145061&title=hobbies#145061 Author: Andie

Most of mine have taken a major back seat since Ella's arrival.  I've not sat at my drum kit in 7 months!  (and I miss it - but when on earth can you practice something that loud, when you're home with baby?!?).  This website is a hobby for me.  I've fitted in the occasional artsy thing - usually making something for Ella.  Would like to devote a bit more time to painting again.  I'm avoiding the scrapbooking urges, because it'd be so easy to get into but we can't really afford all the stuff, and I know I'd want to buy so much of it!  I'd get rather carried away. 

So come on, Teresa.... what are yours and how on earth do you fit any in?!

I still find time to garden & dig around in the dirt, finding old bottles, which i collect & junk lol.
Now i have a child i don't have the much time or energy to play sport & outdoor adventures like i used to, but still make an effort to get out & do things that can include Brae.
Scrapbooking, beading & creative junk sculptures are more kiddie oriented these days & are friendly for little hands.
Does it count when you modify your interests to include kids & do it as much as you like or can be bothered?

I do get out with the girlfriends every fortnight or so for dinner, coffee, shopping or chats etc, kiddie less. Which is my highlight b/c its when I'm me & not a mum. & sometimes, i can get to wrapped up in being.

scrapbooking is where you do funky pages all decorated with a theme and place photos in them - on acid free paper and stuff

OR if you are me - scrapbooking is something people have given you for wedding and baby and you have put in a closet to do - ONE DAY!!! Yeah right!!!

I love scrapbooking and card making. I can only do it if I have some inspiration though, and usually it doesn't come at the times I have time for the hobbies! I also knit. I tend to do these things after Ashlee has gone to bed -- the dishes and washing can wait until the morning

Sewing, scrapbooking, sewing some more, making cakes, making stuff for the kids, shopping, and i used to like reading too:

however....

Sewing i only do for dress-up days and for sleeping bags these days, lol, scrap booking iuhave bought all the pages, pictures, stickers albums, and have not yet put them together, cakes i ony make for birthdays now, shopping i do for the kids, and the only reading i do these days is either medical stuff of hairy maclary etc. lol

so in short, i don't make time for them, i like to think i have hobbies but they are really just more things that i start and don't finish. lol. I think a hobbie is something you do on a more regular basis.
