1. Photography📸, yoga🧘🏻‍♀️, knitting🧶(I‘m woefully out of practice rn), 🚶🏻‍♀️
2. Painting/drawing🎨 (it‘s been a long time but I used to be pretty decent & think I‘d enjoy it so much more now)
3. Elephants 🐘
4. I‘ve been taking photos since I was a kid. Having an iPhone has really made taking photos so much more accessible; it‘s been amazing to reconnect to something I love & enjoy so much! ❤️

#hellothursday @wanderinglynn

1. Writing, improv comedy, theatre, cooking, walking, and going to the gym.

2. I‘d love to draw but my wrists are still so weak I don‘t know if I could. The pain is improving slowly so maybe one day

3. Nah, and I don‘t even collect books really! I give them all away. I do keep all my theatre programmes?

4. I started exercise cause of a terrifying article about risk factors for bowel cancer 😂

5. Will do 🥰

wanderinglynn Improv, wow, that‘s impressive! Thanks for playing! 💜 5y

1. Travel, hiking, yoga, coloring, puzzles
2. So many! I love to try new things. Wheel pottery, SUP, art journaling, piano, herbalism
3. Funko pops, tea pots, faeries
4. They all revolve around self-care, being in nature, and/or spending time with my loves and exploring new places. 👨‍👩‍👧
5. Great idea! 👍

alisiakae I also have many hobbies I‘ve tried and found aren‘t for me 😂 : knitting, sewing, guitar, scrapbooking, jewelry making, and woodworking. 5y
wanderinglynn You‘re like me—you love to try new things! I‘ve done a lot of the ones you‘ve listed. 👍🏻 SUP is a ton of fun. Piano is great too. I‘m also interested in herbalism. Thanks for playing! 💜 5y
alisiakae @wanderinglynn I meant to say SUP yoga! I have done SUP and really enjoy it, and would love to bring my yoga practice to the water! 5y
wanderinglynn I‘ve done SUP yoga—loads of fun. Great for really working those stability muscles. 👍🏻 5y

#HelloThursday @wanderinglynn
1. I like crafts. I've done some wood painting, signs, paper crafting. Haven't done much in awhile but hope to get back to it soon.
2. I've always wanted to make a quilt.
3. I love stationary, pens, blankets, totes, Willow Tree figurines.
4. Not sure. I've always love being creative.
5. Will do!

wanderinglynn I have a couple willow tree figurines. I love their gracefulness. Thanks for playing! 💜 5y
tracey38 @wanderinglynn I love them. My sister and I used to get each other one for birthdays/holidays, but haven't in a couple years. 5y
tammysue I‘d love to learn how to quilt too. My mother in law really enjoyed it and was going to teach me someday sadly she was diagnosed with Alzheimer‘s. Our local fabric store has classes that I‘m hoping to get to one of these days. 5y

tracey38 @whatshesreadingnow I hope you get to take the class! I have always thought it would be neat to do. I know it's time consuming though. 5y
tammysue You‘re right. I think it would be a perfect activity to do during winter season because of the time it takes. 5y
tracey38 @whatshesreadingnow that's very true! 5y

#HelloThursday | hobbies
1. Jigsaw puzzles, cross-stitching, writing are my top 3
2. Glass blowing
3. Magnets—I get one from every place I visit, and Pins—some are bookish, but some aren‘t
4. I‘ve been writing since I was a child. I can‘t imagine not writing.
5. 🌈💜

For new folks: everyone‘s invited to play along—screenshot the photo and create your own post using the #HelloThursday hashtag and tagging me so I can see your answers! 😀

tpixie I love watching glass blowing!!
I love cross stitch- my sister was an expert on tiny over-one
Interestingly, I quit cross stitching after my dad died- I was working on a project for him - of 3 girls flying kites, representing his 3 daughters, and now one daughter has passed ( the cross stitch queen) - oh my! how did this post get so sad?
Some day I will pick it up and start again!

Back to the beauty of glass blowing!!!!

Crazeedi @tpixie ((hugs))❣ 5y
wanderinglynn @tpixie I feel you. {hugs} But yes, glass blowing is amazing! I‘ve always wanted to learn how to do it. 5y

wanderinglynn @Susanita I had no idea! But now I kinda want to see it. 5y
tpixie @Crazeedi thanks! Not certain why I went down that RABBIT 🐰 HOLE ( speaking of Watership Down) 5y
tpixie @wanderinglynn thx! We have gone to Silverdollar City in Missouri several times throughout my lifetime and I love watching them blow glass there 5y
tpixie @Susanita cool! My husband does puzzles all the time during football and basketball season. 5y
Crazeedi @tpixie we don't know why our minds wander in strange ways, you must have needed to remember today 5y
cmarie I've just started cross-stitching! It's so calming, working up to more difficult literary patterns 5y
wanderinglynn @cmarie That‘s awesome! I love cross-stitching. 👍🏻 5y

Current bookshelves. Gap in Harry Potter as I wait for PoA and Fantastic Beasts Illustrated versions to arrive. And the shelf just above the moses basket is now being double stacked. Theres a shelf behind the moses basket too with my Anne McCaffreys and Kate Forsyths on. This is after a massive cull earlier in the year. We had loads of shelves in the spare room but had to get rid to make way for Robbie. I think I need more shelves again....

DGRachel Beautiful! 6y
laurieluna @DGRachel thanks 😄 we have plans to turn the living room into a library in a few years so I'm trying to build up our book collection! Such a chore 😂 ❤x 6y

#uncannyoctober #nonreadingpursuits

Just a few of my many non reading pursuits.

I love to snow ski. I tried snowboarding but it's not for me.
I love to ride my bike on the beach.
I love to ice skate and I love being an aunt to my niece and nephews.
I love my chocolate lab Sadie.
