What kind of hobbies/activities do you all enjoy?  :) 

What activities do you like doing on your own for "you" time? Hobbies/activities with others?

    I like sewing and crocheting. I've made DD some pretty cute dresses. And I've crocheted blankets and hats. Nothing fancy, just stuff for friends and family. 
    That's awesome! My mom and grandma used to crochet all the time and I tried for about a week and gave it up. My mom used to crochet dresses for these dolls that she would spend months on and they were quite beautiful. I think it's always meaningful having a handmade gift as well.

    I love scrapbooking, reading, watching movies and putting puzzles together for "me time". I don't have anything specific I like to do with others. Hanging out and shopping? I'm usually up for whatever :smile:
    Are we the same person?? Everything you listed is me to a T. Although with others we love a good game of Mexican train dominos or poker! But alas you are a much sweeter person than I so I realize we are not the same person, but we do have the same hobbies! But I will say I haven't read/scrapbooked/puzzled since DS was born. Just no time! I even have a special scrap book for DS that I need to do but try scrap booking with a toddler!

    Crochet, knit and sew when the little will allow me time. Photography any chance I get. And reading trashy, trashy romance novels.

    @Inanigloo I used to sneak my mom's romance books when I was a teenager. So steamy.  >:)

    When we lived in Maine I LOVED to wander the beach and collect sea glass. For now, all I can do is "play' with my collection. H actually got interested when I mentioned the soft stormy beach theme for the nursery, and said if I finish my project he will light it from​ behind and it can go in the nursery.



    That is beautiful!

    @lap018 Aww twinsies! I've really been slacking on my scrapbooks lately! I'm in the middle of like 4 different ones...I better get on it before the LO arrives!!   :D  And you'd be surprised, I do love a good game of cards. I haven't played poker in years though! I love cards against humanity :-P

    In any spare time I can find I am making jewelry or completing some Harry Potter themed dying craft. We also play a lot of board and card games with our friends and families. Some of our current favorites are scythe, agricola, firefly the board game, and Dominion.  We used to play a lot of bridge, but it is hard to leave the table and we have a 9m old... @mrs_tacos & @awildrose what are you guys playing? We are always looking for new games to try, 2 player or otherwise!

    Re: board/card games.

    H and I LOVE Carcassonne! We have a bunch of games, but he's way more into them than I am. But I finally caved and let him teach me Carcassonne a few years ago, and it's one of our "date" activities (go sit in a coffee house and play and drink). Gosh we haven't done that since we moved here to MA... I need to plan something

    @khenry12 Banangrams is our current favorite. We also love Tenzi with my kiddos. Scrabble, Yahtzee, and Garbage (card game) when family comes to town are fun ones, too.

    @jena333 Carcassone is tricky for me because I don't have the best spatial reasoning, but my husband likes it a lot and has an app to play on his phone. It's a fun game, just not one I really enjoy playing since I have 0 chance of winning against him. :)

    We are also in MA--not sure where you are, but in Brookline (Coolidge Corner area) and Somerville (Teele Square), there are board game cafes, both called Knight Moves, where you pay a modest amount of money to utilize their enormous library of board games. It's a cool business idea.

    And..... stuck in box.....
    I have seen bananagrams and garbage played but never tried. I love me some Scrabble and yhatzee though!

    Also @jena333 we love Carcassonne. One of our most favorite 2 player games. We also really like hanabi. It's a cooperative card game. Very fun.

    divinemsm620 thanks! We're about 45minutes SW of Boston.

    We definitely play what I call "puppies and rainbows Carcassonne," because he still wants a wife when we're done playing (eg, I don't like cut throat style games where you win by screwing over the person you're playing). So no stealing of roads/cities/etc, and more matching our abilities to grow them (instead of stealing unclaimed stuff for points). I don't win that often, which makes me cranky, but we always have a nice time playing.

    @jena333 What a gorgeous sea glass project! I too love to wander the beach and collect sea glass, shells, and driftwood.  Unfortunately my parents lost their beach property on LBI, NJ with Hurricane Sandy, so my beachcomber days are far and few between now  :'(

    Agree with all of these fellow readers! Getting lost in a good story is my favorite hobby... when I've got the attention span for it! My concentration has been shot these past few months

    For the fellow readers: I try to take a mommy`s night out twice a month or so, and hand-on-heart, most of the time I go to the library to read in silence for a couple of hours.  I`m not super-social, although I do have a few friends I see regularly, but if I`m getting time to myself, that`s my activity of choice.

    @khenry12 We also love Agricola, carcassone, dominion, and the Firefly the board game! We've been playing through Pandemic Legacy lately, but we also love Race for the Galaxy, Power Grid, Betrayal at House on the Hill, the Battlestar Galactica board game, Citadels, Cosmic Encounters, Ticket to Ride, etc. Oh, and DH has been really into the card game Monopoly Deal lately, so we've also played a lot of that.
