The topic over at Friend Makin' Monday today is 'Hobbies'. What do I like to do? What do I wish I did more of?

Hmmm....

1. Photography. Yep. I like to take pictures for sure. A lot of pictures. You know that you take a lot of pictures when your kids are constantly asking you why you take so many and your husband just sits there and smirks. Our poor computer hard drive. Makes me extremely thankful we have an online backup and a server that keeps track of all the pictures.


2. Blogging. I know I've mentioned this before, but this is seriously the cheapest form of therapy that I know of. Chocolate is right up there, but that can get rather expensive after awhile. And depressing if I eat too much of it.


3. Reading. Hand me a fiction book and you might just lose me for awhile. Since I read quickly, it can become a big issue if I'm not careful. I love, love, love to get lost in a good book.


4. Movies. Period dramas, especially. When I'm working, I like to have something on in the background and generally it's something related to Jane Austen or that time era.

What I wish I did more of:

1. Sewing. I have a lovely little machine and I used to sew a lot more, but that's taken a BIG backburner now with 4 kids and homeschooling. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the machine is hidden in the bowels of my basement.


2. Scrapbooking. I had finally caught up...and let's just say I'm not anywhere close to being caught up now. Partially it's just a matter of having other things that I'm doing right now ~ or want to be doing right now. I figure my blog is keeping track of most everything, so I at least have a great place to get all the info when I do have the time.


3. Knitting. This is something that I want to actually DO!!! The girls are asking me to teach them, so that would mean I need to actually learn. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a teaching/learning book?


4. Canning/Freezing. Of course that would involve actually keeping a better garden, so I'm not sure if I'm ready for that ~ but I really would like to do more of it!
