Does anyone have good ideas for a hobby? I need one because I'm really bored.?

Question

I work at school and am home a lot. I do garden, but in the winter in Wisconsin there's not much to do .

A few people said learn a language. I looked into Rosetta stone. Does anyone know where to learn a language for free? Also, Dayton S, you gave a really excellent answer. I love the list.

Answer 1

Cross stitching. Not only is it a good hobby it makes excellent Christmas gifts. It's nice because you can actually see where you have made something instead of just reading which I like but you don't have anything to show for your time.

Answer 2

One thing I like doing is research on the computer, I get on this and answer 3-6 questions to take up some time, I sew peoples clothes, and do puzzle books. I am not able to work right now because of my seizures, so I am always at home. I try looking for new things to do all the time, but my favorite is sewing. My daughter will be graduating in two years, so my next project is her graduation dress. I am right now making her a pair of pants. The more you do the better you get.

Answer 3

I completely understand where you're coming from. I recently have started to learn the Piano. I figured I could actually learn something while killing time rather than wasting my time. You could even try to learn a new language. You could volunteer your time at a hospital or working with the handicap. If you love to write, you could write a book about your life that you could pass down the family line. There are many different things you could do. Good Luck & God Bless!

Answer 4

Myself, I prefer to do photography for a hobby...i mean you don't have to start out with expensive cameras or anything. Just take pictures of things you enjoy, be creative, and maybe then you can turn the pictures into cash with photo contest or you can develop another hobby in addition to photography by doing scrapbooking. You can give scrapbooks as gifts or maybe if you are good enough at it you could sell your scrapbooking services.

Answer 5

Crocheting or knitting is fun and in the end you will have a nice warm blanket to keep you warm.If you get good at it you can always sell whatever you make.Ive made and sold many during the winter months here in TN.

Answer 6

If you dig music, making mixed CD's passes a good day or so. Make collages, go to the craft store and pick up stuff to paint, make beads, knit.... etc. If you go to a craft store like Michaels or Hobby lobby, there are hundreds of things you can do.

Boat building is a cool hobby. It's as easy or as complicated as you want it to be, and you have a cool boat to float around in when you're done.
