I LOVE your "other hobby." I'd love to do that if I were able.
When I was growing up, I had a couple of horses. I sold my two-year old when I married at 19...
I got into several different crafts. I taught myself to crochet after a class was cancelled. Then I taught myself to do cake decorating. I made wedding cakes for 20 years for fun. Now decorating a cake feels like work.
At 52 I did my first skydive. I only meant to do one, but that turned into 719 jumps in the next seven years. I'd still be doing that every weekend if I was able.
Before I had to give up skydiving I began my first quilt. It took me 12 months to finish it. Now I'm no longer working and am glad to have a hobby that I can still do.
