What Do We All Do When We Are Super Bored at Home
Other
Im so bored at the moment but i cant go anywhere,any ideas on wht i can do at night?
I read, watch Neflix, pay Majyong and online shop although I try not checkout until the next day or two to prove I tried really want it 
At the moment I am crocheting as I am making comfort blankets for my friends daughter who’s expecting, so far tonight I have made this elephant one 
or I read.
tara73ziva That is just amazing! Your work is so neat and I can appreciate the time you've put into this. This will be treasured, I love it.
tara73ziva That's really really lovely! I made a similar rabbit one but it wasn't a patch on that ...I love the edging especially!
BORDERJOE thank you the edging is quite easy to do there are some tutorials on YouTube that are easy to follow 
tara73ziva Thanks .... I'm off to check them out .... seriously tho ...it's lovely.
It’s quite impressive 
That’s beautiful tara73ziva. What a thoughtful, personal gift. I never really got the hang of knitting or crocheting. I think it is because I’m left handed.
gerrykelly25 thank you, there is some easy left hand patterns for crocheting or knitting on you you tube which are easy to follow they might help you get the hang of it
tara73ziva I might give it a go. These aids weren’t around when I was young and it was tricky trying to copy a right handed knitter! I did manage to produce some very dodgy looking plain knit scarves, so there may be a knitter hidden inside me. I’d love to have ago at crocheting.
gerrykelly25 you never know you might get hooked, Bella coco has some good left handed crochet tutorials
Mightymoo This would've been easier if you'd told us what you don't like doing. Are your usual interests food based, books, self improvement, exercise? Are there any crafts that you have been tempted to try but they seemed like too much effort?
I'm going to try candles/wax melts. I'm still collecting the bits to start the job but it's in progress.
Ann1984 they are so easy to make, i make them and i give them as gifts too and everyone always asks for more! If you look on youtube there are loads of tutorials.
sunny101 i make wax melts and they are so easy to do. Look on etsy at a shop called 'freshskinbeauty' they sell really good quality fragrance oils at really good prices and its free delivery. Start with a tester bottle (10ml) incase you dont like the scent. Good luck!
PinkElephant26 Thank you. I'm up to speed on the method just some of the last bits needed to get started - that's where this site comes into play with some of the bargains. I've already got fragrance oils, soy wax, dyes and thermometer. I can't wait to play. 
sunny101 amazon is good for silicone moulds, or wilkos do little glass jars (pack of 12) for candles. I must say personally i think the mica dyes are much better than other dyes.
make a list of folk who would appreciate you dropping them an email/letter/card/Facetime/FB message and then work your way through at different times .... it's good to chat and you'll make their day! P.S. make a list of stuff to chat about too in case you dry up .... and ask them for their news and listen ...
Reading, documentaries on Netflix, puzzles/crosswords, baking, diamond art. I previously made a couple of picture frames with Harry Potter Lego figures in, painted the frames, glued Lego bricks in to hold the figures on.
Currently have a 5d diamond art awaiting to be started, it’s for my husband but between work at the moment and studying, I’ve no started it yet.
Find something that appeals and give it a try x
Its not often i do get to sit down or be 'bored' but I usually come on LD, check my emails etc, read the news page online, make wax melts, make something else (using my cricut maker) or watch something on youtube.
PinkElephant26 Yep ...that's pretty much me too .... I can only remember being bored when at 'social occasions' and being stuck with someone who I didn't like/know having to make small talk! At home I have too many hobbies and stuff like LD to do.... and I seem to be spending more time catching up with friends via Facetime/phone/etc or email too. I agree with you kimcress too
Whenever I have a spare few minutes recently I’ve been researching my family history. Time flies by when I’m doing that!
I rarely get bored at home. There are so many distractions, such online film and music streaming services.
I read a lot, play boardgames with my husband, care for my houseplants, watch netflix series and cook new recipes
I must very lucky as I never get bored. I will always find something to do. I have a home and garden to look after and a family plus my pets so never have time to be bored.
I've been thinking about this topic since last reply .... same as eyeballkerry I guess ..I genuinely can't remember when I was last bored .... must've been well over ten years ago at those interminable meetings! Now I seem to do something ... Google for help with it ....click on allied link ideas and then I'm off on another list of things to try. It's the same whether it's recipes, how to fix a creak, how to do calligraphy .... I just end up going in another direction and making an even longer list of things to 'try'
I usually watch a movie or in fact enjoy the fact that I have time to be bored cause life has just been so hectic!
Looking back over this topic it's really disappointing to see that your total involvement was one comment 'tara73ziva wow that's amazing. Great job'
We all took the time to engage in your created topic and you didn't engage with any of us apart from putting a like on them. I really hope you involve yourself in the new topic you've created.
I rarely feel bored. In my free time, I enter competitions, read or watch a film. My problem is usually that I don’t have enough time!
