Hobbies in My 50’s, How I Spend My Spare Time, Books, Crafts and Gardening Over 50 Lifestyle

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

Hi sweet Julie! So enjoyed hearing what hobbies you enjoy. I enjoy crafting like knitting, crocheting, sewing by hand and just creating anything I can think of. I also enjoy watching my KZbin friends like you❤ XO

Thank you so much Teresa x

Hi Julie! Really enjoyed this vlog, thank you for sharing! I'm 65 years old, like you mentioned, I'm also an avid reader & always have been! I enjoy detective stories & cozy mysteries the best, but I'm open to other subjects as well. My husband & myself are also watching House of Dragons, we enjoyed Game of Thrones, so we are enjoying this one as well. I enjoy watching a few of you lovely ladies on KZbin, you truly have become my friends...even though I'm in America! Baking is something else I enjoy, I love making some of my mom's tried & true recipes, especially at the holidays. I love shopping at thrift shops & going for walks, just appreciating the beauty of nature around us. Have a wonderful rest of your day, Julie 💕

Thank you so much. And thank you for your support xx

Thanks for sharing Julie👍 I love gardening, reading, watching KZbin, baking and I taught myself to crochet from watching KZbin a couple of years back and I love it, always have something on the go usually a baby blanket or cardigan 😊 xx

Oh my word, we do so many things the same, so far the only thing I don’t do is colouring and I absolutely love true crime. 😊😊😊

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Isn’t the true crime thing strange , I love it and yet I’m such a scaredy cat 🙀

Hello Julie, I really enjoyed this video! It's so nice to hear how you spend your spare time outside of KZbin with such a great mix of hobbies. Your passion for books, crafts, and gardening truly shines through. It's never too late to discover new interests and embrace creativity is it. I mostly penpal which I've been doing for years and like to collect nice stationery to write on as well as print my own (I'm a huge stationery addict 🤣) and watching KZbin and also making my own wax melts which is a new hobby I only started doing since February but I'm really enjoying it and seeing the results. Thanks for sharing! 📚🌿✨xxx

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Thanks Karen. I love stationery but never write letters. Maybe something I should start x

I loved hearing about your hobbies Julie. ❤ It's very hard to find time to do things for ourselves isn't it? I work full time running a business so down time is important. I love reading and doing my step videos, plus hubby and I are always doing stuff in the house and garden. We are currently part way through a massive project, laying cobbles and creating oval patio areas. It's a big learning curve and hard work, but it's really starting to look great now. I think it's very satisfying to see something taking shape that you've worked hard on. Take care Julie. Xx

I agree Liz, we are building a new bed in the front garden and it’s hard work but I’m loving seeing it coming together x

[@penelopebridges7305]

Hi Julie, I never did any gardening my husband always did it, I basically just sat in it. Three years ago we downsized into a tiny bungalow and totally raised the garden and put in raised beds and a small lawn, they are mine and I love them. At the moment everything seems to be pink 🤣 but it is my favourite colour. 😊😊😊

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Sounds wonderful x

Hi Julie 🙋‍♀️… I have loved listening to your video and hearing about your hobbies … You always inspire me.. I enjoy gardening too but I think I am a fair weather gardener I struggle when it’s cold outside ..We do have a dog and so l do a lot of walking which I really enjoy doing too.. I would love to crochet when Winter comes I think it is a lovely hobby but I haven’t tried it yet so thank you for your suggestions Julie And thank you again for a lovely video.. 🙋‍♀️..xx

Another great video. Always look forward to watching them. Would love to be in draw for the handbag. X

Julie, we’re the same, I’ve only recently discovered plants 😂 like you, I’d always admire other people’s gardens but never really bothered with my own. Also, like you, I can’t get down due to osteoarthritis in my knees and fibromyalgia so I’m having to use pots but we do have plans for raised beds maybe for next year xx

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Isn’t it funny how you come to appreciate things suddenly. I agree raised beds are the way to go x

How lovely that you listen to an audio book and do jigsaw together. My partner is dyslexic he’s never known the enjoyment of reading books. I also do adult colouring and encourage my little grandson to do this when he comes round, although he prefers to draw dinosaurs at least he’s quiet then! Hope you’re finding the anti inflammatory book interesting xx

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Yes very thank you x

Lovely Julie I love reading gardening sewing love my kindle love detective programmes thanks for sharing

Morning Julie, great video. It was lovely to hear about your hobbies. I used to do the pattern & then colour it in too. It's important as we get older to find our relaxation. You've made me think xx

[@whatjulieloves9921]

That’s good xx

Hi Julie, that was a nice relaxing watch. Thank you for sharing your life. Like you I subscribe to Audible and mainly listen in the car as I go between Lincolnshire and Cheshire most weeks. My favourite author is Ellie Griffiths and the Dr Ruth Galloway series of 15 books. She also has written other detective/mystery type series. I am relative,y new to KZbin but like you often watch instead of the TV. Viewing TV programmes has changed as you mentioned. I am a fair weather gardener also, and have difficulty getting up and down, so have a cushioned kneeler with arms or supports. It is so useful and I am able to plant at ground level with it. It also comes in useful in the house if I need to kneel, and not sure how I am going to get up again! Thanks for the video. Carry on your lovely life.
