Lame

What’s a hobby you’re just learning?

I wish I had something fascinating to say in order to answer this prompt but I don’t. I guess being here on WP would count as a hobby.

My problem with other creative hobbies, for example, painting, is that I don’t know which colour to choose to fill up the page. It was the same with colouring as a kid, I never knew which colour of crayon to pick for each part of the page. And it would stress me out.

I dabbled in macrame and yarn wall hangings years ago and tried to make a little business of selling them but it didn’t stick. Although I really enjoyed it.

Our city has a rock snake and two weeks ago Bella-Lena, Sid and I decided to paint a rock each and add them to the snake. Of course I struggled with what to put on it while Bella-Lena went to work in her usual creative overload way, even Sid seemed to know which colours he wanted on his. I simply painted the words “bloom where you’re planted”, lame.

I plan to make more of these boho style dream catchers, I bought doilies from the thrift store

  1. the rock snake is so cool!

    i know what you mean about hobbies. it’s hard to find time to really dig into one these days just because of the sheer amount of responsibilities we have but even if there’s a few minutes a week we can devote to one, that still counts I suppose.

    personally though, i like the idea of counting WP as a hobby. it is one of the few hobbies where you get feedback almost instantaneously. i think that’s something. Mike

    1. Yes definitely! I spend a lot of time here but it’s productive i feel, or at least positive, unlike social media 🤷🏻‍♀️

  2. Love the rock snake! And you’re a “fiber artist” in the making. Maybe Texture is your thing, rather than color.

  3. I doubt you have much time for hobbies, CJ. My guess is that your crafts center on Sid.

    1. Not much time at all Mary!
      If i planned on spending time doing something on a weekly basis rather than a daily one, that might be more achievable!

  4. That rock snake is fantastic! Sounds like you’re a budding fiber artist — perhaps texture is where your talent shines, more than color.”
