Before I started working full time, I am spending my free time creating some crafts. I know how to sew clothes, pillowcases, bed covers, and bags. I can crochet Barbie doll’s dresses, table covers, hats, and purses. But my most favorite of all my hobbies was cross stitching. I have done some pieces of projects. I did some for my friends and relatives.
However, when I started working, I can’t find the time anymore for my hobbies. Much more when I started to work online. Yesterday, while cleaning the house, I noticed that one of my cross-stitched projects was slightly deformed. I took it down from the wall and I found out that the frame needs to be replaced.
I felt some sadness while looking at my angel. I wish I could have time for my hobbies again. But I know that even if I want to do my hobbies again, I know I won’t be able to do it this time.

This is beautiful! I hope you will be able to find time for it again! Art-relatedhobbies are so beneficial.
Beautiful work. I love crafting. I love making stuff with air dry clay.
Very nice work dear Sharon
Thank you for visiting and commenting. I had several projects which were damaged. But this one can be fixed because it was only the frame that was deformed.
I can put my hand to do anything, as most people can. I am trying out a pen & ink colour but it is my first one and takes a lot of time as there is a lot of detail.
Yes, painting also requires a lot of time. But what is important is the result you get after the long arduous work. Thank you for dropping by, Pamela.
Saving the world is only a hobby. Most of the time I do nothing.
Thank you for sharing your hobby. For me, it’s a part of my obligation and my job. Well, I believe it’s everyone’s obligation to save the world for the future generation.
Saying about a cross stitch. I, thanks to this occupation, came out of a terribly big depression years ago. Then it became my hobby. Now I do not see the goggles with the glasses. My hobby and passion is now photography.
Do you mean cross stitching has become your occupation before? That’s great! Well, I can see how well you are doing with photography. I wanted to learn about it too. I am still saving for my camera.
Very nice work. I always try to find time for my hobbies as they are relaxing
I’m happy to know that, Gloridaze. I am not losing hope someday, I could be able to devote time to my hobbies again. Thank you for visiting.
my hobbies are reading, playing video games and watching movies
That’s good to know, Alex. Thank you for dropping by.
is watching movies a hobby?
Thanks for asking, lol. Based on the definition of hobby which I found online, it is an activity done regularly in one’s leisure time for pleasure.
I tend to think of a hobby as something less passive, but perhaps my definition is needlessly strict?
Great work. You have many talents.
Thank you for dropping by vidocka. Too bad I can’t find time to do these things anymore.
Sometimes something must be sacrificed for more important and priority things, even though it is rather sad.
I have many hobbies, painting, writing, bonsai, and many more…
You are right. We need to prioritize things based on importance. It’s also good to know many things just in case I lose my job, I don’t have much worries because I can do a lot of things which can be a source of income.
Yep! That’s one of the benefits of a hobby
I am not sure. I am writing for another site and I need to focus there especially with the current competition in the online field. That is the place where I get most of my online income. I also have my own blog which I need to update frequently. Lately, I started to give Virily more attention to see how far I can fo with the site. I have a Forum which is equally rewarding. Coming June, I need to enroll in my law studies. I just don’t know how I can make time for my hobbies.
There are two things that could possibly change the situation. One, that I get promoted to a higher position with a higher salary and two, that I may be reassigned or get another job nearer to my home.
Certainly. But are we allowed to talk about it here? Can I send you a message instead?
How beautiful Angel … you are really unique, dear Sharon … how many hobbies and how many things you can do … you are really a great woman
Thank you, Lado. This is one of my favorites. Yes, I love to learn new things. This is also the reason why I have a wide knowledge of the internet.
I can only congratulate you … I wish you a nice weekend, dear Sharon
That angel is lovely!
You can find some time for yourself if you can maybe put some thing “on hold” for a while or ‘cut out a little time” for your hobby 🙂
Yes, I am also thinking about that. Well, I really hope I could. Thank you for dropping by.
The angel was too good.
Thank you, Branka. When I still have more time, I was able to complete several cross stitch works. I even had a landscape with a home and butterflies. But the item was damaged and I could no longer save it.
Love the angel. I enjoy photography and am always taking photos almost every day.
Thank you Carol. I also want to learn about photography for my blog but my limited time won’t allow me.
With such a great skill, you should continue with your passion. The angel was too good.
I’m afraid I can’t do it now because I need to prioritize my work. I am just hoping that good thing comes so I don’t need to take online working seriously like what I am doing now.
What an adorable little angel. ? Working online feels almost like a hobby. ?
My mother used to cross stitch too, but she quitted because aging made it harder. The hardest part is at the very beginning: threading the needle. ?
I wanted to start crocheting, but I never got the time. Well, it’s more lack of will than time, but it doesn’t matter.
Thank you for the compliment, Sabtraversa. Yes, I also consider my online activities as a hobby and a source of additional income. But it seems that it is only me who can appreciate this stuff. Yes, aging is another thing. Perhaps in the future when I have more time after retirement, I could try gardening instead.
