What do you do for relaxation?

Petra

I used to obsessively knit fancy colourful socks years ago. I love photography but not taken the camera out for ages. I started digital painting in procreate on the iPad following tutorials a few months ago.

Here's the last one I did

So cute!

Running, taking long walks with my dog and hiking are my main sources of relaxation.

Cool painting.

I love looking under rocks for whatever might be living there. Isopods, springtails, scorpions, whatever. (I'm sure some people think I'm a bit weird.) I have started breeding rare species and hope to make revenue from my hobby.

For example, I breed these little guys:

That's not my image but I hope to get a decent camera soon-ish and start photographing my babies and stuff I find in the wild. The photos will be for business and pleasure - I just love showing people all the cool creepy crawlies I find out here.

When I'm not pretending to be David Attenborough - I love PC gaming.

DuncanThePig - How cute are those guys!? If I had any I'd get the camera out because macro is such fun!

Eve I can crochet but I always found it too fidgety...

Knitting and crocheting are always my go to when I just want to relax.

Try Tunisian crochet! It’s almost more like knitting. I’ve gotten completely obsessed with it. Working on a sweater, handbag, blanket and long jacket. I tend to start 50 projects at the same time…

I have always used walking (sometime miles) to relax.
Now, I usually pace the rooftop (or my family room).
Sometime, to get things out of my head, I use karate hand moves.

I don’t really do hobbies but I read for relaxation even though my wife would say the way I read is franticly. At least two times a week I take a big ole bath as hot as I can’t stand it and read the whole way through.

I like to cross-stitch to relax, when I really get into it 4 hours could pass and I would not notice.

I like to do fun things like this:

But what really gets me to not notice time passing is getting in the zone with a big one like this:

I've been working on this for literal years and I'm not even close to half way done.

Petra

Andrea That's well impressive!

Petra

Andrea the second one... will that be Hogwart's?

Andrea Andrea, I can't see the images 😕

Andrea

Mark

I go through spurts of being hardcore into Lego. I picked up two 3D printers over the holidays so that’s been a fun hobby to pick up learning (again) as well.

Two kids though, so relaxation is not something I am familiar with much.

Hot bath tubs, I'm in one right now...

That's a really amazing pic! Very cool!

I have some ideas for Arduino so I want to buy some stuff for that but I'm so noob I don't know where to start. I'd like to do it as a pet project and just to learn. I haven't had time at all. I've been working non-stop since April last year, so when my big project stops I told myself I will not panic and will take some time to learn circuit design. I took it in college and sucked bad at it lol, so I might just be banging my head against my desk for some time.

I listen to audiobooks while lying in bed, and at other times I fold origami models. But the best relaxation is when I'm asleep, not sure if that counts!
