Good morning,I am a Watercolor artist & have recently tried pastel! Keeps me out of trouble! Ha ha! Have a blessed day!
I’d love to see your portals. What’s your Instagram account?
Amazing ! Life’s simple pleasures are what we humans crave and definitely do our beloved elderly ! Thank you for sharing, appreciate .
I’m 67 and I sew and do machine embroidery, love my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine for cardmaking, have always loved doing home decorating, and love container flower gardening several months of the year. Like to take photos in my Android phone, too, when I see something interesting or beautiful. I’d love to start a blog, but have been hesitant putting myself "out there"! Margaret, you look so beautiful in that light purple sweater and makeup!
I make cards and share them at MoMomakes.com
Hi Margaret it’s amazing to know how energetic and vibrant you are. Thankyou for sharing all hobbies available for our age. Yes we have a new world of creativities,we can pursue. Thankyou !
You need to amp up the volume on many of you videos. I have my volume all the way up and can barely hear you.
Beadwork embroidery and working with glass
Hahaha!! I gave a quick look at the title and thought it said,
“Looking for a new hubby?” 😂
PTL Margaret…good segment; you are encouraging, thank you for sharing. You are absolutely correct; authenticity is the key. We do have the opportunity to do the things we enjoy 💯🎁!
I just got sourdough starter. I began feeding it yesterday, and this morning it had doubled! I fed it once again, and tomorrow afternoon it. should be ready to bake.
I do coloring in adult coloring books, gardening, and crochet.
I enjoy going to old abandoned hospitals and exploring graveyards.
I’ve been playing drums since I was 8. I joined a Scottish Pipe band and enjoy it very much, and I draw using the cartoon characters I created when I was 10.
Crafting with clay and drawing animals and flowers is also calming.
This is a great thing to bring up and remind us all what we love to do or at least used to do.
Love oil painting❤️
I’m 25 but was looking for some stuff to do lol. I love the website by the way, thanks for sharing.
As crestons wife I like games online reading collecting cookbooks and books listening to music singing exercise walking strength training I want to do aerobics and I love animals we have a cat
I taught myself how to paint in acrylics at the age of 55! I will turn 60 this summer and now find myself conducting paint parties from time to time for family (free of course…lol). Along the way I have become somewhat of a jewelry designer and have sold many of my creations.
I would make myself something, send one to my sister and before I knew it, everyone in her office was asking for several of my products (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, decorated mirrors). Just the other day, I told my husband that there is so much I want to learn….I don’t know if the next 50 yrs will be enough. I am having a ball!
…I’m 14…and I don’t need a new hobby…I don’t know why I am here but I love the outfit❤️
Bike riding on bike paths…great. Reminds me of being young when cycling in pretty places..
Archery, tattoos, and survival scenarios. #Hobbies
I’m 52 and take one hour a day to learning something new a day. 🙂
Thank you for this uplifting subject. It helps to hear suggestions.
I’m very interested in your portal Instagram is it possible to know your username?
Decluttering is my new hobby….
for now. LOL. Have a great day.
Margaret, I truly enjoy your endless creativity and engaging personality. Such a delight to watch you embrace your life so fully while sharing your insight, wisdom, and zest for life with your viewers . 🙏💛✨
I love origami.
Used in zthai cooking a lot
Crafts during the holidays are fun. Exercising is great for me. Reading my bible and watching my favorite spiritual programs are very fulfilling. Eating out with friends and family parties are fun. I love nature and swimming, reading and learning new things is exciting to me. I love friendships with one-on-one talks with authenticity and laughter. New activities are fun too if not too overwhelming at this age.
Baking sourdough breads in the winter months and when the fresh vegetables come in to season I love canning and preserving foods especially salsa.
Two things not mentioned is writing stories or poems and having pen pals. My pen pals become very important to me and are like family. You have inspired me to sew again when you mentioned quilting. Thank you for ALL that you do. You are a very inspiring.
Love this video. I do adult coloring. I’ve been doing it for 3 years and I belong to several Facebook groups of like minded colorists. It’s fun, relaxing and stress reducing.
Love your lavender blouse & your lavender eyeshadow – LOOKING GOOD!
I have taken meditation as a daily practice. Then it became a spiritual practice. Now, it’s becoming a new business for me! I’m thrilled at offering guided meditations as a tool to explore the inner world and also as a tool to be better connected with others and the environment. I love your positive energy and the interesting topics you bring to us. You are very inspiring, even attracting 14-year olds to check out your videos (see comment below mine). I thought that was very cute and speaks volumes about what you (and all of us) have to offer still!
Hi Margaret, Do you still paint rocks? I am thinking that would be a nice mellow way to create too.
Where are the 68 things to do? I am 64, disabled after losing my job, close family, husband, friends, pets & with no children! I would love to travel but am financially & physically burdened. I am extremely bored with TV/internet entertainment. I am full of pain – dealing with all arthritic conditions, muscle, nerve & eye damage. I spent my life as an over-achiever. I do have some good days but I am having trouble finding my passion. I’m even having trouble finding a spiritual group or support group in the state of Indiana. What do you suggest I do?
💖👍
Hi Margareth I am 69 and still working as a caretaker…

Thank you for the video, I have take up walking with my husband a few times a week, as a new hobby since the lockdown started, got trim 😊. I also do knitting, croquet embroidery, gardening and learning to dress make, which I’m enjoying very much. All very therapeutic
Your personality and the glow that you radiate reminds me of Anne of Green Gables! 😊💖
Thank you Margaret for so much inspiration I have recently retired! I was given arts and craft supplies, an enormous pots and pans collection, teas, and pumpkin spice cookies! And a gift card for groceries! With so much time on my hands, I have been baking cookies, swimming, and making beads out of catalogue paper! The paper craft is just to relax, because I went through a serious year and a half of senior abuse! Also journaling is helpful!
I’m a soap maker and tole painter as well as mixed media art bottles, song writer. I started singing and performing in my 30’s, traditional Country, Bluegrass and Gospel music semi professionally and recently stopped about a year ago… I am now 61. I do however occasionally sing at an Alzheimer facility where my Mom is.
Exploring my family genealogy. There is so much more information available online now.
