Hobby ideas?

Question

I am a college student home for the summer. I have a day job at a summer camp, but I'm looking for suggestions for things to do in the evenings or on weekends to fill in the down time when I'm not out and about. Help, please?

Answer 1

My husband recently bought me a starter kit for painting with acrylics. I haven't used them yet (I am getting ready to have back surgery and can't sit for long periods at a time, so I haven't tried it yet) but I can't wait! Even if I suck at it, my friend claims it's very relaxing and a great way to detonate stress.

You could also try scrapbooking, sewing, quilting, learn to crochet or knit. Join a bookclub, volunteer at a nursing home or hospital, visit elderly neighbors and offer to help them with housework or gardening....stuff like that. It's always nice to give back to the community.

Answer 2

I do prestamped, prequilted, cross stitch baby quilts, its my passion. Its really relaxing, & so much fun. I can work on them while watching a dvd too.

I get quilts by the company names of Bucilla, Janlynn, Dimensions, Sunset, Baby Hugs, Wonderart, Vogart, the designes have to catch my eye. If I think they are cute, I do them, if I dont like them I refuse to do the pattern.
