That’s what’s awesome about hobbies. You’re the boss. You can start, you can stop, you can change - it’s what you want to do.

Hobbies I have had over my lifetime:
Making miniature rooms - paint chips were the walls, I’d draw tiny windows, doors into other rooms, make furniture out of clay
Quilling
Ribbon embroidery
Freehand embroidery
I’d call it quilting, but that’s a bit grand.
Sewing clothing (I’ve never trusted myself with the swathes of fabric needed for home decor sewing. Good on the pp who does!)
Drawing floor plans for houses and apartment buildings, especially to replace crap I don’t like.
Making up imaginary cities
Foreign language learning
Perfume smelling
Drawing
Painting
Gardening
Collecting foreign coins

I mean you can be as into or out of a hobby as you like. It’s awesome.

history audiobooks (I needed background knowledge for doing homeschool, and the great courses series is amazing)

baking (great British baking show got me into that)

skincare (wrinkles motivated that one)

writing (I have always been into writing)

changing up my exercise routine, trying to get good at something in particular, like swimming

I used to feel like I just needed one hobby and it has been freeing to just let myself do whatever interests me at the moment.

I never thought of "skin care" as a hobby. You have to be a SAHM.

And you must be an envious b——-!

If you have a hobby, what is it and how did you find it?

This is what I’m currently the most into:
Gardening - intermediate
Knitting - beginner
Sewing - beginner
Baking - intermediate
Birdwatching - beginner

I’m now on dog number 3 and dog sports are my passion and escape from mom-ing. It’s exercise, social outlet, and time with my dogs learning new things.
