@SoulfullyAButterfly Helping animals that others deemed unsuitable for adoption or rehabilitation βοΈπ¦πΊπΎπ¦ππΆ gardening and watching / being with nature all around us.. well; most of it, not so much the poison or venomous ones or the fires we had over 14months..
so very lucky to have large area to help puppies, plant whatever wanted and can help the animals.. let alone daily able to observe the beautiful world around this area on our little mountain β°

I'm an Aspie so my hobbies aren't as grown up as most people here, but.... :
I like Trading Card games because I like creative building and strategy. I get more enjoyment out of "brewing" (that is, coming up with new ideas and concepts) than actually playing the games. I like to "tinker" with it and keep changing things relentlessly, or try new ideas.
I also like number puzzles, like picross, as long as there's no timer rewards, so it's very calming and relaxing to me.
Lastly I would mention what comes and goes for me as a hobbie, is Anime and anime-like games. When I was a kid it was almost an addiction and that's all I watched/did. But now, I have a balance where I rotate between stand up, dramas, and food shows, in equal parts to my anime enjoyment.
Crocheting!!! Itβs been so fun!
@Ashleyroses me toooo!
Dungeons and dragons baby! Escapism (to the max)! with friends
I like to read a crochet
Here is a picture of a project I did awhile ago
@purplelady568
Such an adorable hat purplelady568... not something within my repertoire, but I do enjoy seeing all the things that can be created in such a way as this. When I was a kid, my mom taught me to cross stitch (the basics of course lol), and now she is teaching me quilting... but it takes a lot of talent and patience to create in the manner in which you create.
@SerenitysFire thank you so much for your kind words! I love seeing all the different ways that people can create things, too! What was the last crosstitch you did?
@purplelady568
It was many, many years ago but I think the last cross stitch I did was of a circus clown.
@purplelady568
Hi! I love to crochet as well. That hat is absolutely adorable.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Crocheting is a new hobby of mine but I'm learning quickly and love it. I found that it's also great for self-care! I don't have a picture but here's a cute gif.
(Yes I know it's knitting but close enough haha)
@Nova3 hey, fellow crafty person! Isnt it fun to play with ystn5? My favorite site for learning new things and saving crochet patterns is Ravelry.
@purplelady568
I've heard of Raverlry but haven't looked at it yet. I use Ribblr to find fun free patterns!
I have two hobbies that I do the most right now...
Photography... here's one of my fav shots:
And the other hobby I do regularly is machine embroidery...hence my user name...

I love painting, revamping old clothes, i want to be a designer one day :) when i used to be a child, i created hundreds of clothes for my dolls.
I also love being in nature like in the mountains or in botanic gardens.
I love writing as well, although i still hsvent found my style. Maybe i will want to write a book one day... For now i just enjoy reading books on my kindle and drink hot tasty tea :)
@imaginativeMaple9828 those are all great ways to express your creativity! I like reading kindle books too. Lately I've been reading mysteries.
@purplelady568
I've been getting more into Kindle book reading too. I read a 3 part series by D. A. Roberts about a sea monster and stranded sailors. I like my monster stories...lol. Well, it is the season now. π
@EmbStitcher33 yes, fiction is fun! I have been reading mystery crime novels, which also seem to fit the spooky season.
