Also thinking about starting candle making since I've gotten into essential oils.
I've always wanted to play a musical instrument and am thinking about taking up the harmonica! Lol
Does anyone else have any hobbies they enjoy on the weekends?
That sounds like some nice ideas already!
When I stopped drinking, I didn't even remember what I liked anymore because I was so focused on being productive since becoming an adult and then drank to cope with the constant stress.
Now it's nearly 2 years since I got sober and I am still piling up new hobbies and interests. I already have more than I really have the time for. I am very much into DIY stuff like changing small things in my flat, building furniture, I also make candles (mostly I recycle the leftover wax from old ones. Did you know you can use regular children's wax crayons for changing the colour of your wax? Just put a small bit into the melting wax...), I am into all kinds of needlework like sewing, embroidery, weaving (I just bought myself a loom),... I also love painting and drawing. And taking care of my plants. Oh and cooking and baking, making jams, chocolates, etc. I also started running and I like going to the gym and for long walks or bike rides.
Mesa that looks impressive! And you just found it on the ground?
