Subject: hobbies

Ok while i'm sat here this morning early as its just to hot and i can't sleep thought i would start a new topic before i go back to bed. Ok what hobbies do you enjoy?, and do you still manage to do them or has the illness stopped you from being able to. I am actually an animal artist and have sold paintings all over the world, i also love making jewellery but gave it up a few years ago until about february this year and then i went and splashed out quite a bit buying all the beads again which are quite exspensive some of them but when this happened to my hands they have just been sitting there looking at me. So i can't wait until this flare up has gone so i can get back to doing the things i love how about anyone eles.

Ive also got a part time job cleaning i only work 2 hours at night but i haven't been able to go to work for the last 7 weeks as u can imagine there is lifting and have to use hands but really struggling now money wise as i'm supervisor so it quite good money for the hours but really hope to go back soon. I actually work with my 2 daughters so they will be kind to me when i do go back just dont want to rush it and be off again.

Me to Jill I used to love hiking in the lakes, also did some rock climbing in my twenties, sadly those days are well past. Have recently taken up making stained glass windows although I'm still not that good at it yet. Got the same problem as you Della, have flare ups in my hands so I can't touch it for months. So I don't get as much practice as I would like.

Jill a little start up expence for tool, kit , glass etc. then as with any hobby as much as you are prepared to spend.. The windows in the churches are often painted onto stain glass.. I don't do that kind..I do the kind that makes patterns or flowers purely out of coloured glass. Makes me hand hurt though. Not to mention handling the glass with bare hands you tend to go through a lot of plasters. ouch
