Finding your peace through hobbies.

Posted by ourlittleredhouseblog on

Sewing up tiny toys is one of my favorite hobbies to work on. These old thread spools I have collected over the years are unfortunately too weak to use anymore.

The other day I came across this little clip in my recommendations. It was 105 relaxing hobbies to start.

Starting new hobbies are not only great ways to relax us, they are good for memory skills, and our mental health too. It’s also a great way to work on keeping our motor skills in tune depending on the hobby choices you choose. And it can bring people together. It’s a fun way to socialize, which everyone could work on now days after that pandemic business.

When out thrifting I enjoy looking and finding art supplies for the kits I design. I also donate some kits to children’s groups and charity organizations. All these threads will be used in kits, I picked up a whole box for $1. God always finds a way to provide what we need.

Here are a few hobbies from the clip above that my family and I have tried….

Taking daily walks by the creek and in the woods is one of our favorite hobbies to do. This photo was taken after we got caught in a little rain storm. Walking in the rain is also really fun..

Remember to stay off those screens as much as possible. Switch those hobbies up too, it’s exercise for the brain when we learn a new skill. Happy hobbies everyone. Stay safe out there and God bless you all.
