Not really. I’d like one but I’m a slacker. I could totally see myself getting into some sort of modeling art. Like a doll house type thing or anything like it. I’d love painting it and building furniture.

Reading, embroidery, letter writing, photography (although this is also my off and on job). I used to dabble in some web/graphic design but I haven’t done that in an incredibly long time. I like to bake, but I don’t do it often.

Oh, and I recently (about 4 months ago) started doing yoga with the Down Dog app. Not sure if that counts as a hobby.
Also, I never knew sticker by number books were a thing! I’m definitely ordering one.

Cross stitch and other kinds of embroidery.
I read a ton, two or three books a week usually.

Mine don't seem to "go together" but mine are dirt bike riding and sewing. 🤣 I don't really know what to say about them. H and I to a combo of back roads and trail rides and R races woods style races. A Sunday spent at the track is just so enjoyable (after R's race and its no longer 30 minutes of running through the woods trying to find where he is and get pictures and videos 🤣) and relaxing to me. We stick around and watch the other classes race, grill out for breakfast and lunch while we're there and just chill out. It's nice.
As far as sewing, I mostly make clothes for the kids and myself. H has finally requested a hoodie so I need to get him measured for that. It will be my first time sewing for him which oddly makes me nervous (just because its new, not that he would get mad if it's wrong) but I'm also excited to make something for him too. I love making my kids' Halloween costumes (when they don't throw out these absolutely high level requests 😝) each year and I hope its a tradition they remember when they are grown.

Most consistently, I read. Part time hobbies I have include sewing projects, puzzles, and crafts. I really enjoy any sort of “by number” art kit whether it’s stickers or coloring or those diamond things. Oooo I am very intrigued by those diamond things what do you want to know? I just pick pictures I like off amazon. The canvas has adhesive on it already and numbered so you stick the colored gems on it accordingly.

My new to me hobby this year has been gardening. Being outside as much as I can during a pandemic has been good for my mental health. I’ve learned a ton and already have plans on what to do differently next year. But the winter is going to be rough. I ordered myself a watercolor subscription box that I’m going to try out and hopefully that can be something to do with my hands while it’s negative a billion degrees for the next 6 months. I have a couple of book recommendations if your interested. They're kinda gardening related but the naturalistic side of them. Very interesting reads, IMO. www.amazon.com/dp/0062103156/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tY.zFb92QWQB2www.amazon.com/dp/0316227935/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_g2.zFbRFPEEHR

When I first saw them I thought my kids would like them and then thought I might enjoy it myself

i wish i knew so many of you did puzzles. i finish them so quick they end up piling up. i just donated my recent pile but i'd gladly send them someone else's way next time! I started a puzzle Instagram account mainly to keep track of all the puzzles I’ve done, and now I spend way too much time looking at puzzles on Instagram. Ironic that I started doing them to stay off my phone 🤦🏼♀️

Yes. Baking, hiking, cross stitch, and painting.

How long do you usually spend completing one? When I first saw them I thought my kids would like them and then thought I might enjoy it myself probably 3-4 hours each if I had to say. It’s really easy to sit down and work on it whenever I get a short break. I am the opposite of you. I bought a multi pack for myself to do but once the kids saw them they wanted one as well.

Since the pandemic started, I’ve gotten into reading cheesy murder mysteries. I’ve always imagined I would pick running up as a hobby someday, but every time I try to get into it I still hate it. I think my other hobby is thinking about all of the hobbies I want to start someday when I have more free time. Have you ever watched any of the mysteries on Hallmark Movie and Mysteries? They’re super cheesy but for some reason I’ve become addicted during the pandemic! What are your favorites authors/series? I haven’t watched any but the book I most recently read was published by Hallmark! It’s a new series called Piper & Porter series. I really liked it, but only one book is out so far. The author is Amanda Flower. She has a ton of other books but I think this is her first with Hallmark. I also like her Magic Garden & Magic Bookshop mysteries. They are somehow lighthearted and cozy feeling, despite revolving around murder. I want to start the Aurora Teagarden series next.

I read a ton. I do jigsaw puzzles. I play the piano. And I drink enough coffee that MH calls it my hobby. I shall add coffee drinking to my hobby list. I drink enough of it, so definitely a hobby.

Reading, but honestly, I haven’t really been able to read during the pandemic. I don’t know why, but I’ve read like 3 books in 6 months. My new hobby that I started this week is sewing. Wish me luck! I couldn't read anything or even really concentrate on anything until like, July. But once it kicked back in for me I've been devouring stuff so I hope you get your mojo back soon!

Pre pandemic my partner and I ran and played on a co-ed softball team. I'm okay, not bad but not really good either. I really enjoyed playing though. I used to do yoga, I need to start up again.
Otherwise, just the usual- cooking, baking, gardening. We're taking on a lot more DIY these days, I guess you could call that a hobby. We're gearing up for a wood working hobby and should be able to start that next summer.
My partner has all the hobbies. So many. He has more free time than I do.

I like gardening, cooking, and baking. I like reading but never seem to have the time anymore.
My current biggest time-suck fun hobby is trying to grown my side business. I still consider it a hobby bc it’s not bringing in much revenue (yet, hopefully!) but I do like making IG posts that convey a message in a simple eye-catching way. There are apps to help with design and they’re kind of fun to fiddle around on.

Oh, I forgot about my bucket list hobby! We have a small house, so I can't do it now, but one day I want to have a model train with all the little buildings that I can paint myself. Or maybe a Christmas village, because I love Christmas and decorating for it. Or maybe both. Probably both. Either way, little buildings to decorate.

Reading, exploring new walking/hiking trails. Pre-pandemic was singing. I miss my choir family so much. I also like to do crossword puzzle games on my phone and on paper, and other word type games, also Solitaire games.

Sewing, genealogy (though I’ve hit some brickwalls and haven’t yet learned to read Lithuanian), and tie dyeing (which has proven very challenging with the kids home). I also really enjoy baking and cooking, just not in my kitchen and not the clean up part. And puzzles with all the DSs

I've gotten really into indie nail polishes. I'm going to buy my first stamping plate and see how that goes. I really love art, painting, and creating beautiful things, so nail polish was probably a natural revolution.
