How do you kill the free hours?

All this talk of bread tempted me to make my own -

Hmm I never used to have much free time but I've joined the masses on the dole over here now so I'm desperately trying to keep myself busy. I've taken up sewing and just the other day decided to try make a patchwork quilt to test out my sewing skills (or lack thereof!!!)

I have a bass guitar sitting in the corner begging to be played (can't motivate myself to teach myself it though!) and I like to bake too. No bread though, cheesecakes and curries are my speciality.

I'm considering buying a keyboard so I can take back up playing the piano, and I read and play silly games on my DS too.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

I can't believe that was your first ever attempt at baking bread (if it was)... and in an oven too?!

Our bread machine usually churns out what we call 'Cat Bread', because when you slice it, it has pointy moggy ears where it's failed to rise properly

Yeah, i used a mix, but i made it by hand and baked it in my dodgy oven! I'm very proud and it tastes amazing!

Weekend spent reading Dear Fatty.

Brilliant

Well, I like to read. (I know: boring!)
But I also like to walk and potter about in my garden (I know! BORING!)
Then at the weekends I brush up on my pole-dancing and stripping skills. Well, you gotta stay fit somehow.

Started making my boyfriend's Halloween costume this weekend. He's going as Rorschach from Watchmen:


So I'm making a kick ass mask for him. Actually I'm making 2 so he can switch half way through the night and weird people out.

Ok Molly, you are officailly the coolest person on the board!!

(How i wish i had the figure to go as silk spectre or silhouette!)

Hahahaha I don't think I've ever been called that before! Thanks! I also wish I had the figure for the Silk Spectre costume but I need more of a 'cover up everything' costume Skin tight lycra doesnt flatter the best of figures!!

In my most ambitious project yet I'm gonna try to make my costume also which is supposed to look something like this:


but will probably end up looking like this:

A friend of mine made a lot of us pirate shirts, they were so cool! I'd love to be able to sew!

Its all a matter of boredom levels for me!

I find I'm going on FACEBOOK more and more these days. Great way to keep up with friends + seeing photos etc.
