I think I have hobbies now??

Published 15 days ago • 2 min read

Hiii happy Friday!

I’m so excited to have a chill weekend with no plans :) except for a brand shoot I have to do because I procrastinated a little this week, but it’s such a good recipe I honestly don’t even mind!

I think spring has officially sprung here. I’m starting to see little green leaves popping up and I’m THRILLED.

Also… I just finished season 4 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and I am fully down the Taylor Frankie Paul rabbit hole. Anyone else?? And I started Love Story on Hulu and I’m into it so far!

All of this to say, I’ve been in a very cozy, stay-in, do-something-with-my-hands kind of mood lately… which has led me straight into my hobbies era. Needlepoint, mahjong, paint by numbers. You name it, I’m trying it!

Sharing a few favorites if you’re also in the mood for a new little hobby 🤍

✨Hobbies & Crafts

Mahjong - I just started learning how to play and I’m already obsessed (and apparently it’s good for your brain, so… productive). I linked a couple more affordable starter sets here and here if you want to try it out, but I’m dreaming of a super cute set like this one one day... she's pricey. Also, how cute is this mahjong phone charm??
Cross Stitch - A super beginner-friendly intro to needlework. You’re just making tiny X stitches on a grid, so it’s easy to learn and kind of addictive.
Coloring Books - Okay… coloring as an adult?? Way more fun than expected. I added all my favorites to my storefront here. The markers I use are alcohol-based and SO satisfying to color with.
Custom Puzzles - I got my mom a 1,000-piece version last year and… it was humbling. If you want something a little more manageable, I highly recommend the 500-piece version. Such a fun, personal gift idea too!
Paint By Numbers - I always go back to paint by numbers because it’s so relaxing and satisfying to watch it come together. The perfect zone-out activity… and you get something cute at the end.
Air Dry Clay Kit - Haven’t tried this yet, but I’ve been seeing the CUTEST fruit fridge magnets all over TikTok. I love that these don’t require a kiln, so it’s super beginner-friendly.
