    Absolutely love that top you have on today. Looks really good on you. My main hobby is resding. I have read voraciously all of my life. I take a book with me wherever I go. I used to knit but don't do much of that anymore. My cats are my stress reliever. Nothing more peaceful than gently rubbing a cat's belly ( luckily I have 2 who love their bellies rubbed). Just having them stretched out next to me as I read is comforting and peaceful. Love ya, Judy. Missouri USA

    Hello Margaret, I am new to your channel and am sincerely inspired and encouraged by your beautiful videos. I turned 60 this past January, made a move with my family from WA state to Idaho, and am living (temporarily) in a 16ft trailer until we find a cute little home. My passion for knitting helps me get through it all…the stress of finding a home and the living in a small trailer. ☺️ The positive is that I am able to knit outdoors (it is the summer) amidst the beautiful Ponderosa Pines of North Idaho where my knitting has taken on another level of creativity and satisfaction for me. Margaret, I love your necklaces…do you make them? Perhaps you could give us a lesson on how to create one. Love you, Margaret! You are beautiful inside and out.

    At 65 I can't go for walks but I can ride a bicycle! I ride through parks. I enjoy bird feeding which turns into bird watching. I'd love to take up portrait drawing again but I'm not ready yet. I do enjoy the adult coloring books.

    Thx for inspiring so many of us. I enjoy getting " tossed aside furniture or items" and refurbishing and decorating with them in my home or finding them a new home. However, I am now trying to declutter and downsize so have had to put a halt on thrifting for now 🤣.

    Yes here in the USA people grown and children draw on the sidewalks with all the pastel chalks! Hop scotch games, flowers, animals, Happy Birthday! I always stopped to read them they make me smile! Taking walks,eating out every now and then. Making memory wire bracelets and stretch bracelets. As a retired Nursing Assistant who had a client who taught another caregiver and I to make jewelry it was fun!I love it because I always had ideas of jewelry I wanted but couldn’t find, now I can get the colors and shapes I want and make what I want. I gift people jewelry and barter for jewelry. My son works in the Hospital and he asked me to make extra bracelets to give to patients he met along the way. I’m learning to crochet from You Tube tutorials! It’s fun and it’s like having our own personal teacher. Years ago my son brought home some oil paints and I had never painted before but sat down and painted a dove flying with a leaf in its mouth! Turned out good! I think the trick is to just try it! You showed a sample of wallpaper you loved.Have you thought of getting a room divider and covering it with your pretty choice of wall paper! Just an idea, but if you can’t have that wall you can have a room divider with it on it!
    Thank you for all your videos! They are inspirational and like I told my son that this is the first time I am embracing turning 76 in a few days instead of thinking about my younger days. These are days ahead of us! Thank you for inspiring me to look forward to them. There’s beauty and happiness in every age! God bless you! Yes, love your blouse and the lovely vase with the flowers behind you!🙏❤️🦋

    My Mom lived to almost 100 years of aga; and what she would do was to knit beautiful gifts for her many grachildren and great grandchildren for Christmas gifts. Before the Covid I, myself belonged to two different knitting groups where everything we made went to needy adults and children. The yarn was supplied. I have now turned to other interest, being that the knitting groups have disappeared in thin air. This is very much needed for the homeless...people in shelters.

    Hi Pretty Lady! My hobbies are gardening, reading about flowers and botany. I love true adventure stories and mysteries. I love to crochet and sew. Dabbled in painting and drawing too. I had fun painting birds in my kitchen. Song birds perched on branches with berries. I then hung a couple of real bird houses on the branches. It turned out very nice, and it cheers me during the cold winters here in Idaho. I enjoy making floral door wreaths and enjoy any type of crafting, really.

    It sometimes feels as if I have too many hobbies! Reading; daily word and math puzzles; crochet; embroidery; diamond art; and a new art form (to me) called Zentangles. It’s a good thing I’m retired!

    • @lisamiller4833
      @lisamiller4833 Рік тому

      I'm with you! In retirement have time to do what I like. Flower and some vegetable gardening. That evolved into adding a Japanese garden out back. Gradually evolved over years as new ideas popped up. Helping others, with whatever they need. Dad with dementia, divorced friend who hated her kitchen color and didn't know how to paint, a listening ear, branch with friends (am collecting ones with similar interests that like to DO not just talk) as seemed I haven't had time for friends in the past, renovating a 1903 victorian house we bought, maintenance of our ten acre property we live at, updating our camper by glacier Park when I can get there, activities with grandchildren, crafting and occasional vendor at shows, cooking binges trying new recipes, and decluttering years of stuff I've collected and inherited... Some of it sounds like work, but I've always enjoyed working and now can work for myself. I've always read at night and am currently focusing on self improvement. Continuum to grow...

    In retirement I felt the need for some routine so i do Wordle and a short and longer Crossword online. Also started learning Italian and French on Duolingo in preparation for travel. I read daily. Also trying paint by number again. Might get back into cross-stitch. Intrigued by diamond painting but haven't done that yet.

    🙋‍♀️ Hello Margaret, I’m so glad to have found your channel today! I just turned 57; may I please join up with your lovely group, despite being slightly underaged?
    I have enjoyed many hobbies; now trying to figure out which to make part of my regular routine.
    My go -to has always been reading (especially sci-fi/speculative fiction, mystery, young adult, and some nonfiction.)
    I also love ceramics: very tactile; I can lose myself in the process. Any useful and reasonably attractive object which results is a bonus.
    I enjoy mending (very, very basic sewing.) I also love to crochet, though I haven’t done it in years. I recently discovered scratch-art books, which I find quite therapeutic.
    I spend entirely too much time on UA-cam these days, though I’m happy to say that I’ve found several channels with very positive chat communities, and I’ve been learning interesting things along the way.
    I love to travel. In the spring I did a month-long solo trip to France (Aix-en-Provence and Strasbourg) - very empowering, and helpful in resetting my expectations re: physical limitations of traveling now vs. in my 20’s-30’s.
    I love to learn languages. I speak French with some proficiency, though my vocabulary is a shadow of what it once was. I’ve taken some German and some Russian, though not for many years. Would love to learn more, travel more….
    I am easily overwhelmed by having too many choices. All too often, this results in my not doing anything in particular. Thank you for your thought-provoking, inspirational content.
    - Jenn in Minneapolis 💐

    First of all, I’m glad to say I turn 60 tomorrow. Secondly, this subject came up on a forum on Facebook also. For years, I loved playing with Paint Shop Pro online. I also love studying Astrology, & take an online course every now & then. Also have been studying Pythagorean Numerology for over 20 years now & love that. I also love doing online surveys for money. I also get free things to test & keep once in awhile. The most recent one is a Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum. Hobbies are a great way to be creative and some are lucrative as well.😉🦁
