Tina but you will never be bored. (unless you choose to spend an afternoon reading the rubbish on chat Lol!!)

Joan do you stretch it over a frame before you frame it? Must be harder with a larger one, i think my daughter paid to have hers framed professionally.

Do it for other people. I have done this, and got a lot of pleasure out of helping people.
Of course Thanks for what I have done would be appreciated in some cases.

I used to sing in a choir until last December, took up a lot of my time, but had to give up as I could no longer leave OH on his own. I have a piano but havent played it for ages.
I enjoy doing jigsaws sometimes. It is something I can do while keeping an eye on OH. I also take a lot of photos now I have a digital camera. I have been taking a lot of closeup photos of our native flowers, most of which are very small. I also zoom in on birds. Somebody suggested a book or postcards with the native flowers to sell.
But at present when I am not taking OH to go walking with his 'girlfriends' on a Sunday I am trying to sort through my accumulation of 'junk' (interspersed with treasures) so I can get rid of a lot of it in case we have to sell up and move to town. And sewing the heaps of material I have bought over the years because I liked it. Some of it I had started sewing but not finished. Plenty to keep me occupied if I only had the time.
I also spend a lot of time reading these boards and looking at other websites. Dont do any genealogy these days, cant get to the LDS rooms with OH, he would not want to sit still for 2 hours.

Huia.
