In these trying times, there’s absolutely nothing better for the soul than having one or more beloved hobbies to lean on. When you have a creative passion to turn to, you reap a wealth of healthy benefits:
- Working toward a goal that you’re passionate about gives you a sense of purpose, which makes you feel happy and content.
- Working with your hands as you immerse yourself in a project of your choosing is beyond relaxing. It’s the next best thing to meditation!
- When you complete a project, you feel new stirrings of excitement as you think about the next.
- Seeking out and experimenting with fresh ideas and new challenges takes you on a learning journey that never ends—your mind is ever expanding onto new pathways to discovery.
- Finishing a project gives you a deep feeling of accomplishment. It’s a confidence-builder.
- You are never bored. Your hobby is always there, waiting for you to dive in.
- You learn more about yourself. Hobbies help you to explore and discover new skills, as well as unearth hidden talents that you may never have realized you had.
- It’s this simple: not only is it FUN to create new things, the act of doing so fills you with pure JOY!
With that said, here are some projects I’ve finished over the past few months. I still have to write out the patterns for some of them, which I’ll post for you at a later date.
Happy hobbying to you!

That is very well said and I absolutely couldn’t agree more. My crafty hobbies have been my saving grace through these trying times (or at any time for that matter) (but especially now. Lol)
All of your projects are outstanding and I have to say, you’re looking absolutely fantastic! Well done – all around!

Hey! Nice to hear from you. As you can see, I haven’t been on my computer much lately :)) We’re all healthy and doing as well as can be expected. Hope you guys are doing well too. If nothing else, we can all look forward to being outdoors a lot more in the near future.
