What do you do to relax????

Sleep, watch TV (mindless stuff where I'm not concentrating) knit and sew! Being a go-go-go person(even the way I drive) anything where I'm sitting down is relaxing. The joke at the quilters guild was anything I could take to bed I would, even my sewing machine. I have an elna press and even tried that! So relaxing means doing NOTHING! When????.........

Never seem to relax, always doing something.

Any craft activity relaxes me, unless something goes wrong with it. He, he.

Relax? Rum? hee hee hee
Just to help "travis", here is a picture of the Calico cat from Embroidery Library I was talking about that looks quite a bit like your avatar. I couldn't add it under the comment, but she's so pretty I couldn't resist. Hugs, Marji

Reading or leafing through my many quilting books and magazines.

Use my embroidery machine and look after the orchids I grow. Plus see my grandson Twm or have him here.

Go see my grandchildren that live an hr. away. I sew/embroider or some kind of craft, and the granddaughter that's here comes over and we play snakes & ladders (I changed the rules one day - you go up & down both - created a lot of laughter) or toss a balloon back and forth. Or sometimes just to go for a drive (with hubby of course - that way I get to look around!), go "window" shopping.

I just had to tell u that your cat is just like mine and i have been looking for that cat to embroidery ,but with out no luck. I relax sitting in my chair along with my cat besides me

Embroidery Library has some GREAT cats, not free of course, but one that looks a lot like DeVon's avatar. Look under Animals of Land, Cats on their website. Just for the heck of it, put the cat in your basket when you find it--when I did I found it came up a sale price of $1. Wow! Of course I bought it, but the sale wasn't listed anywhere. Good luck, hugs, Marji

Sing with Sweet Adeline Chorus, sing with favorite man at 4 carehomes for an hour each with Senior Singing Group (ages 60-92), volunteer, watch 2 year old great grandson while mom in college, read and digitize and embroider plus church is very important (doing God's work)and enjoy living plus a little trouble making here and there.

Nothing to compare with this Dilceia, it looks absolutely wonderful!

Digitise, though my family calls it an addiction I find it relaxing. When I'm tired I take a rest and read.

I find something on the animal planet channel on TV and watch them rescue kitties and puppies, or catch alligators!

Gardening and sewing are my relaxation. Unfortuately I have to stretch afterwards to work out all the kinks I get from being stooped over or sitting! Bad back makes relaxing hard to do lately. :(

Devon, your cupcakes are so colorful and tasty looking! I TAKE a day, if I truly feel the need to
unwind and have a change of pace in my daily hectic routine of trying to "do it ALL"! I plan a pedicure, an unrushed (no time limit) browsing my favorite shops for awhile, eat lunch at MY favorite place, then head home for a restful nap to end my pleasant day! I, actually, tell my family that the cook and housekeeper are OFF today, everyone fends for themselves!! We ALL need to slow down and "smell the roses" occasionally!

Turn on my embroidery/sewing machine & watch the colors flow./Lillian

I relax when I am doing embroidery. I enjoy it so much,it makes me feel good.

Have T. V. in my sewing room so I sew while watching television.

I sew or embroider as I work in and office all day so find sewing or embroidery very relaxing or I read....Hugs Sally

Hmmmmm, I guess just get into bed and lay down. Hehehe!

Sew or take my pekinese for a walk.

I like to fish ..

What is RELAX???

I don't know that word. Is it something we are supposed to do, or have?

Hmmmm! I must investigate this strange new word, I could be missing out on something.


hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Actually I digitise, I enjoy it so much it is relaxing for me.

I also browse Ebay for goodies I can afford to buy.

Once a week I go tenpin bowling, I wish it could be more often, but it is quite expensive these days.

And the best thing I do to relax is visit with my two Cute friends Polly and now Chris, but that doesn't happen often enough either. Maybe, once I've got this house the way I want it, I'll find more time to spend with them, friends are so important.

Lastly, sorry, but it's true, time permitting, I catch up on Cute, answer emails and spend as much time as I can steal, to be with my online friends.

It isn't always in this order because I am relaxing now but have to get up and get on with this darn house. The electricians came yesterday and what was previously packed away in cupboards is now everywhere and I have to clean up the mess and put everything back where I had it.

I REALLY cannot face it today as I had leg cramps all night and I have a very sore infected toe, so all I want is tea and sympathy. hahahahahahaha!!!

Meganne, is to rest the body and the mind.

Snuggle up in bed with DH or snuggle up in bed with a good book. Which one would you choose? Hmmm hard but i think the book has the priority :))

Sewing is my therapy.

I go to my ranch.

Can I come too??????

by dilceia 20 Jul 2011

It would be wonderful to have you!

by leenova54 20 Jul 2011

Now that sounds relaxing, I want to come too!

Sewing is my relaxation also.

I sew OR embroider some people don;t believe me but sewing makes me happy :):) carolyn

Cupcakes look yummy. To relax would be anything to do with any craft when there is no time frame to hurry and get it done.

I do nalbinding. It looks like knitting but you use a fat blunt needle & yarn.

Hi Devon.
I love gardening for relaxation. I have 101 house plants, plus an oudoor garden. Just love those lil felas. Also, I enjoy baking and cooking. Love your cupcakes. Very colorful. What kind are they? They look yummy. Rachel

I sew at work and at home. Love them both and it helps me to relax. But today I wanted to do something..... This is what I did. Made cupcakes????Why???? Me or my DH don't really eat them. Will have to take to work..
So I was thinking What do you do to relax??

My DH keeps asking why I made them. All I can say is I just wanted to.
