Hobby Zone Check-In: Week of Nov 14-20- Hello everyone! :)
(GIF displays small cute penguin waving, with text at the bottom in white font saying 'Hello!')
Hello Hobby Zone! It is lovely to meet all of you, my name is Liv and I just recently became a forum supporter :) This is my first official forum post as part of the team, and many of you might never have seen me around here before. Despite that, I would love to become a well known face in the community who others feel happy talking to and comfortable around. What better way to do that, than by hosting this week's check-in! :D
Soo,
How has your week been so far?
If you had to rate your week on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being really bad, 10 being amazing), what number would it be?
How have you been progressing with your hobby this week?
I hope that all of you had a great week and got to do everything you wanted!

Welcome to the hobby zone team! It's great to have you with us!
My week is okay so far, I've got lots of creative things planned so I'm eager to get those underway. (Supplies for one part of that may be arriving any time today!)
I've been rebalancing how I spend my time so that I am getting back to making room for my hobbies, so hopefully things will continue to improve on that front as well.
So I guess overall I would give the last week or so a 7, out of 10, it's getting better but still room to improve!
Thank you for your hard work already, and once again, welcome to the team!
Thank you for being so welcoming! 😊
Im happy to hear that you week has been okay so far, and it sounds like you have been really busy with these creative projects. I wonder what they could be! :0
Rebalancing your time is a great idea, so you can relax and have that time to wind down by doing the hobbies that you enjoy. What hobbies have you been doing so far this week?
A 7 is also a good score, and im glad that it has been going well. I am sure that by the end of the week it will hopefully have bumped up to a 10 :)
Again, thank you very much 💛 I would love to reply with a GIF but unfortunately the app doesnt handle GIF's very well!

Seems this week was a week in paper, mostly folding more origami flowers, though I have lots of crochet to get done when I find a time where my hands are free.
I hope you are having a good week! How are you feeling about forums so far?
@Liv125 Hey Liv! Welcome! Great to have you as part of the Hobby Zone Team ⭐️
Thanks so much for this awesome check-in too!

Hello Misty! 😊 Thank you so much, im happy to be part of the team
Hmm, im happy that your week has been good. You are right, there is still plenty of time to go but fingers crossed that its going to be a good and positive week :)!
9 is a really great score too- in fact one of the best scores :D What sort of things are you taking care of if you dont mind me asking?
Oohh painting! I am terrible at painting, so i really admire people who are good at it- knitting is such a fun and rewarding activity. What are you painting and what are you going to knit?
As for my hobbies, i have been able to read and write in my spare time which has been relaxing! Although, i have to revise for exams so not as much as i would have liked to done 💛
@Liv125 knitting - a new hat like a slouchy warm hat ( I hope) lol painting, well I am practicing glazes, so layers of watercolor then let it dry then add more over the top.

How has your week been so far? Had better
If you had to rate your week on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being really bad, 10 being amazing), what number would it be? maybe a 4
How have you been progressing with your hobby this week? I haven’t been reading as much instead trying to focus more on my mental health (some of the books i was going to read, contain poor mental health, death or violence. I do have some other books that are ok to read but still, i need to focus on mental health and fixing a bad habit i have due to mental health. -sorry kinda used this space to share but also write a reminder to myself to keep making goals
I hope that all of you had a great week and got to do everything you wanted!
Hmm, im sorry to hear that your week hasnt been going too well so far :c I completely understand what you are going through, and you are not the only one whatsoever- many other people have not had a great week so far either. Are there any reasons why your week hasn't been too good/less than average? I hope that the rest of your week improves and is better than it has been right now 😊 It is perfectly okay to take that time off doing your hobby to focus on your mental health, and it is something which everyone should do from time to time! I get why you have decided not to read those books, and it is a good decision to have made. Please dont apologise, you have done nothing wrong whatsoever and there is nothing to be sorry for. Having that space to write out your thoughts helps to organise them, and you are fully welcome to do that here 💛 Thank you for sharing about your week!
How has your week been so far? good
If you had to rate your week on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being really bad, 10 being amazing), what number would it be? 9
How have you been progressing with your hobby this week? Was this the question? Well, I've been doing quite a bit of reading, so that's good. I also cooked some nice healthy food on the weekend (ready for the week), but some of my other hobbies have fallen by the wayside a bit - I'm not as active as I was as I had a cold for a really long time and I've not been practicing Spanish as much.
But overall my week has been a 9, so that's really amazing. I had some events with friends on Friday and Saturday, and a really relaxed day yesterday.
Hello there! :) I'm really happy to hear that your week has been going great so far, and that is amazing news. I hope that the rest continues to go well too. 9 is a very good number- im glad it is so high 😊 Yes, that was the question, you are right! Reading is such a fun hobby, and i love to read as well. What have you been reading up to this point? Its very much okay that you haven't been engaging in your other hobbies as much, sometimes it is difficult to find the time to do everything and i get that. The most important thing is that you enjoy yourself! Im sorry to hear that you had a cold :c -have you recovered by now? Thank you for sharing about your week 💙
