Anyone doing anything interesting at the moment Hobbywise

Post by Northern Lass »

Have you in these uncertain times taken up a new Hobby?

I wondered about painting ....if only by numbers!

Reading loads of Books.

Love David Baldacci....

Anyone got a new string to their bow?

I'm doing a jigsaw of Ferrari racing cars which is very challenging. I'm also doing my knitting as usual and have a plan to complete some part finished alternative craft projects such as rug making and tapestry and who knows maybe painting.

I haven't had chance to even do much of my main hobby! :roll: Can't really keep my mind on things at the moment!

So many calls, messages and emails as people are off work!

Sure they will slow down...

I've been filling my spare time with reading ,chess and jigsaw puzzles. I completed one today 1000 pieces "Sunset over Montmartre". Tomorrow i have promised myself to finally read The Second Sex by Simone de Bouvieran an articulate attack on the fact that throughout history women have been relegated to a sphere of “immanence,” and the passive acceptance of roles assigned to them by society.Sounds good can't wait.
