I have been trying to find a hobby for myself and can not come up with one. I have done sudoku, cross-stich, crochet, gardening, scrapbooking, walking,and biking. I'm pretty good at most of these things but get bored with them really fast.

Does anyone have some good ideas?

Thank you,
SamyJane

" I have been an avid crochet freak for the last 20 years, and I taught myself how to knit five years ago, but lately I have been doing paint by numbers and origami. I have also picked up writing my autobiography. I am exploring the world of jewelry making. I have found myself wondering around the craft store and asking a lot of questions of the employees. They are usually good about suggesting things that are easy for beginners and helping me find the materials I need. I hope this helps. Good Luck "

" i live an inert life style that im trying to quit. when other people ask me 'what do you do for fun?' i never know how to respond, cause i dont do anything for fun... after a lot of thinking, i know what my hobby has been.

i collect music.

search radio websites for whats played, then listen to each song. talk with people on youtube for similar bands to the ones you already know. search google for bands that did concerts with bands that you like... etc. i have thousands of songs and bands, and memories.. "

" I have two toddler, 2 & 3, that keep me pretty active but in my down time I like to read a good book, take lots of great pics which I normally email, call someone, and I try to make playdates for my kids so I can have another mommy to talk to. I am like you also though I am constantly changing up things so don't try to settle on one hobby jump around and then you might not get to bored! =) Hope I helped you some. "
