Well actually I did make it to keep the door to the conservatory open 'cos that's where her litter tray is  ;) You knew it would be cat related then CLKD  ;D That little cat is taking over the house - everything seems to be for her comfort  ::)

My hobbies are my home, gardening, our allotment, eating out with friends, walking, reading, internet, my little cat

I used to enjoy sewing and making clothes, curtains etc. but I lost the enthusiasm years ago. I do make alterations to my clothes though but last night I excelled myself and made a doorstop like some I had admired in shops recently. This photo is not the one I made but is the same style. I made mine out of an old tapestry cushion cover and I'm really pleased with it.

That's one thing I've never been able to do, but I can knit...a bit..

OK - so I don't like knitting, sewing, housework but:

I have added antique fairs and charity shops to my list of hobbies.  Occasionally I go cycling.  Sometimes I even walk  :o  ;D.  Lots to do in the garden now, plus making sure that the pond fish are well fed as they layer fat ready for Winter.  Same with the poultry, keeping the runs/sheds clean and tidy to stop red mite outbreaks  >:( ...........

For someone who said several years ago that 'we don't have time for the internet, e-mailing and all that' - guess who is on here the most  ;D

so that takes me to:

I drop into 2 menopause groups; occasionally a 'crafts and gardening' group; Hugh FW Forum regularly; rarely a dog group and sometimes one that discusses caravans, motor-homes, camping - plus an insect group and more recently a Volvo owners Forum .......time I got a Life  :-\  ??? and all with different 'names' and all with different security passwords so my brain can't be *that* tired ......... could 'searching for reading glasses/mobile phone' by classed as a hobby?

I don't like knitting or sewing either, I blame being left handed for my lack of knitting skills and would rather buy new clothes than sew them!  :-\  My hobbies are reading, doing crosswords and word games, playing germbuster on ds lite, tetris on game boy (very addictive!), swimming (when I have the energy), walking with OH and dog, going on holiday and eating nice food.   :)

My hobbies are Cross stitching - I can stitch just about anything i do portriats of pets i also do children ... All kinds of stuff !!!! So much hard work and effort goes into a cross stitch pattern and it such a great feeling when you have completed something so artistic !!!

I also love walking with my 3 German Shepherds i have 2 long coats and 1 standard coat !!!! They will always be like my child !!! They get all the love in the world .... :scottie:

I also try going out on long walks with my 8 year old son who is Autistic he can't go out to play on his own so us going out and doing things at weekend and school holidays is a fantastic release for him to be able to just run and be free he enjoys the woods so much !!!!

Anyway thats enough of my boring life  ;)
