Well, no more getting high as balls. Fiiine.

squeegoi · November 2014

I just spent the day rigging an elaborate ventilation system for my tiny art studio. I didn't much care about the turpentine fumes before, which would always leave me a little dizzy and giddy if I spent too many hours painting. But I figure at least *trying* not to inhale concentrated neurotoxins would be a wise plan for the next few months. This rig is ridiculous and loud, but it smells pristine in there now. I may just keep it.

So,,,what are your hobbies?

Have you had to modify them?

LadyAnnibal · November 2014

Sewing and crochet! I prefer sewing over everything. Right now we are a little cramped in a one bedroom apartment but once we upgrade I can't wait to bust my baby out full throttle! Right now she is just used for mending.

squeegoi · November 2014

@Flashy, I'm just happy people are willing to pay for a good, professional artist to come take their photos.

This is only partially instigated by my supreme hatred for "artsy" instagram photos.

And to be fair, the paintings are my second income. Oil portraiture.

indiejavamama3 · November 2014

My hobbies used to be more interesting like pottery painting, crocheting, crafts, etc...

Lately it seems to be Facebook... Ugg that site sucks out your soul yet I keep returning...

:-/

Young_Love · November 2014

I write. It's a hobby, I guess, but it's also my 2nd income/career.

It has taken a hit big time because I do it when I get home from my full time job, but right now I am SO EXHAUSTED that it's really hard to keep thinking when I've been thinking all day. I usually end up falling asleep.

abcdefghijk12345678 · November 2014

Music! I sing soprano and play the violin. I've cut back a little bit on my musical obligations for the next few months due to morning/all day sickness kicking my ass, but I haven't had to make any other modifications.

squeegoi · November 2014

@indiejavamama3, Ah, Facebook: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

(Only half joking, of course)

scribbler12 · November 2014

Well, my main hobbies have always been horseback riding/training, and reading. One I will get to nurture, the other will be banned in the not too distant future. I might go stir crazy. Or break out the sewing machine.

KatD2011 · November 2014

Haven't had much time lately (aka super lazy) but music is my hobby. I play the piano and used to sing in a choir. I also play flute, sax, and a little guitar (I'm pretty crappy). Music is my stress reliever, oh and shopping but that stressed out my wallet.

I also like to read and binge watch Netflix.

Mei&Mei · November 2014

I play the piano and sing (not so well). Nausea is kicking my ass though, so I haven't played recently.

Other then that, reading, playing pool and being lazy, I guess.

cowgirlmum · November 2014

Mines riding our horses and competing in rodeos but can't ride while preg

I'm only 6 weeks I think and already having withdrawals haha

intensivepurposes · November 2014

Mine is stained glass - another thing I have to abstain from while this biscuit bakes (I use lead solder). Of course I'm in a teenie apartment so I haven't been doing much lately anyway. I bought a book on crocheting today like a giant stereotype.

GHStarfish · November 2014

Dance and scrapbooking, I was supposed to be in a dance show in June. Guess that is not happening now. I would look a little strange.

munchkinsmama · November 2014

I love hiking and planning day trips for new hikes. Both me and DH have been seriously slacking with this, having 3 under 2 will definitely make it even more of a challenge but DH has been looking into some pretty awesome carriers. Also wine tasting, pretty sure that will be on the back burner for a bit.

bumpuser8571475 · November 2014

I used to do yoga and more recently running, but it's been so cold out lately that I haven't gone running since I found out I was pregnant. They do have prenatal yoga at the studio where I go, I should give it a try.

I always wanted a hobby like painting or drawing, but I never gave it a chance.

catladymeow · November 2014

I knit a lot. I was running a ton but then it turned super cold. I've been doing a lot of yoga instead..especially yin yoga.

DH and I are into backpacking but that's a spring/summer/fall activity for us.

groovysuvi · November 2014

I crochet a lot and design new patterns. I also love photography but generally only do that when we travel. I plan to get more into sewing, but my machine is stored away at the moment.

fratarra · November 2014

I have been sucking at having a hobby since I was about 7 month pregnant with my first one. I recently picked up knitting again and I'm trying to get better at baking.. But I usually just enjoy more hanging out with the hub watching movies and hanging out., I'm boring like that

yelah250 · November 2014

Interior design and DIY stuff...I paint with a respirator mask during pregnancy.

OctoberStars · November 2014

My hobbies are my adorable chickens, building shit with wood, and gardening. Right now I'm building the meeps a new coop/garden shed so my hobbies are going at full force. Anybody up for an egg swap this spring?! I have bantam cochins, chocolate orpingtons, and mille fleurs. My roosters are orpingtons though so pretty much all my eggs will be mutts.

imnotfancy · November 2014

Does playing with my dogs count? I also read, garden and love me some Zumba. No modifications needed yet.

Yes, playing with dogs counts! I'm right there with you.

Also, softball and golf. So I'm super sad I won't be playing softball in the spring and wondering if I'll still be able to swing a club with a watermelon in my midsection. Even the dogs jump and pounce so that hobby is still a bit dangerous while pregnant.

emwithpeanuts · November 2014

I love to bake and thrift/garage sale shop. I have been baking for years and years and was encouraged to start a business, but a part of me would want to wait till the kids are a lot older, and another part of me doesn't want to do that at all because I don't want to kill my love for it by doing it all the time.

ChristyM87 · November 2014

I don't have many hobbies. Between 2 jobs and grad school I don't have a ton of free time. I do love traveling and taking day trips, sometimes just exploring or seeing something within driving distance that I had never seen.

I used to be a big reader. Loved memoirs and nonfiction. Maybe once school is done I will get back into it

wineandcake · November 2014

I play cars, watch bubble guppies, chase cats, colour, look at picture books, scream at people, try to cuddle dogs, steal other peoples drinks, play trains, and very rarely sleep..... Oh wait, those are my toddlers hobbies!

On the rare occasion he lets me do something alone, I online shop, read if I have a book that interests me, and occasionally sew when my basement isn't completely torn apart.

baybeedoll62 · November 2014

I love to draw fashion. I'm already working on some baby designs that i might make patterns of!

i also crochet and sew.

Physical activities include dancing, Zumba, and hula hooping! This month I WAS gonna start training to do a Tough Mudder around April/May but it looks like that's outta the picture! Lol!

My current projects are making Christmas gifts for my friends and fam, painting my old furniture to match, and reorganizing the house to have space for a little one!

lauralou2210 · November 2014

I like to craft and do DIY projects around our house. We were about to repaint almost the whole inside and part of the exterior of our house. That won't be happening now (at least I won't really get to be a part)

Edit: I did buy a respirator mask, but it's so annoying to paint with I will probably just have to skip out for now.

thiscoffeechick · November 2014

I like doing random artsy stuff like the anniversary present collage I made my husband of a scene of us as children in heaven made entirely of photos from our wedding and honeymoon.
I also love shopping for our small house on Craigslist and I LOVE bumping.

thardy678 · November 2014

I don't have time for hobbies lol
I ride and train horses, but that's my job as well. We supply horses and other animals for film work.
To the ladies that have already stopped riding, can I ask why?
I have had 2 miscarriages not related to riding at all and my dr has still told me to ride until I feel uncomfortable.

SlurpeeLove · November 2014

Running and reading, though I haven't done much of either since getting my BFP. School is almost done though, so I might be able to get back into at least the reading. I doubt I'll run since I can't catch my breath walking down the street!

winterbaby1210 · November 2014

I love to ski, but obviously not this season. I also started at a pottery studio about 6 months ago and I'm loving it! I also really like to cook and bake.

SepiaMoon · November 2014

I'm into various crafty things like sewing, crocheting, painting (I only use acrylics) and jewelry making. Currently I'm making a quilt for my newborn niece. It's my first quilt, and it's not perfect but I'm excited about it. I also love cooking and baking. I usually exercise more but haven't had much energy- I do kickboxing videos and yoga.

law&order · November 2014

I run (away from my 3yo).

But really, I do enjoy training and running for half marathons. I've done 5. Last pregnancy I did not run due to a variety of issues. This time I plan to walk and hike. Right now I don't feel well enough to do much.

If TV is a hobby, I love all the bad TV. Greys and anything reality on HGTV, TLC, etc.

MisSmartyPants · November 2014

Ha. I paint too!!! I use the odorless stuff though and I think it's fine. I won't be making any changes to my studio. I am just so tired that I have no energy to paint anymore. Haven't touched my brushes for a month now. I also like to garden. I guess this coming season my garden won't be as nice, since I probably a) won't be able to do much with a pregnant belly come May, b) will not have time to tend to it as much with a newborn. Oh well...

KellyinHB · November 2014

Our dogs! DH and I are major dog people. Also volunteering at a local dog rescue near us, walking the rescues and helping with fundraising.

Other hobbies: trail running, snowboarding, standup paddle boarding, hiking. I think most will be out while PG, except maybe hiking.

I started taking yoga while TTC, and ended up really liking it.

Also, I go in and out of crafter phases. I enjoyed making a bunch of the stuff for our wedding this year.

Another musician here! Trained soprano, casual pianist. I also knit and read, but I have not been able to do those simultaneously. My latest hobby is watching all the Gilmore Girls, though. Oh! @law&order‌ - my husband and I were just on House Hunters, if that's one of the shows you like! It was a lot of fun. It's re-airing Dec 13 if you were interested, I realize we don't actually know each other but hey, thought I'd throw it out there.

SHUT UP! I wanna see now! A former co-worker and his partner were just on HH International in Australia. I love that show!

law&order · November 2014

kristhegirl said:

@law&order - It's the one in NM, I think it's episode 9410. 11pm eastern! I love HH Intranational, too, the housing is so different!

Totally watching it

AshenSky · November 2014

I love to cook! Which, because of lack of energy, is dramatically decreasing.
I also am in YTT (yoga teacher training) and for part of our "homework" we are supposed to do yoga in a studio every day for 45 days... I'm at 2 out of 7 days a week since I found out I'm pregnant!!! Oops! Luckily they are awesome and understand;)

murph317 · November 2014

Hobbies...hmm those have pretty much taken the back burner since my son was born in March 2012! However, I do love to cook (haven done much due to so many food aversions), crafty things, reading, drawing, scrapbooking, hiking and of course, Grey's Anatomy. I also can't wait to binge watch the next season of OITNB when it's available in June!! Of all those things I listed, lately TV has been the only one getting any attention, with the occasional craft project here and there.

foodie12rn · November 2014

I'm into crafting and trying to recreate things I find on Pinterest, reading, baking, finding fun things to do with my toddler, etc. I used to be huge into spinning and I have a gorgeous road bike, but I hung it up during my first pregnancy because it's not very safe.

Chasity08 · November 2014

Music is my passion. I sing and play flute, oboe and bass guitar and dabble a bit in piano (mostly just so I can play out my own part as needed to learn new selections).

Photography is what I got my degree in as I couldn't make the music education program work with a full time day job and an infant, but wanted to stay in an arts program. I enjoy it...but I think working in it has taken my love for it away a bit. But its still nice to be able to have that as a backup source of income. I am cutting back right now because I need to redo the heating system in my studio and don't have the energy to do it, so I'm turning down winter clients, and by spring I'll be too far along I think to really give a good shoot, so its on hold until at least after mat leave.

inkedmomma2010 · November 2014

I read (nursing assignments in textbooks count?), spend tons of time at Cabela's ( oh wait I work full time there) and chasing a four and two year old, three hounds, two turtles, and two rats... oh yeah and DH.
You gals actually have hobby time? I haven't since well... ever
