Hobbies

By katethealmostgreat

Sharing my hobbies, which are essential for my mental health & wellbeing. Punch needle, reading, etc

I’ve loved getting into punch needle this last year. If you want to try it - especially this kit! - I’ve linked some beginner kits below. This one was so fun!

I’m Kate, a very chronically ill millennial living life to the fullest with 10+ illnesses. Make sure you’re following to see what I’ve found to make my life as good as possible.

As seen on my most recent blog post! I’ve spent lots of time reading recently, and nothing is better than reading with a hot drink. Get this mug for the book lover in your life!

The Internet is great for a lot of things, but one of them is the fact that when I wanted to try crafting again, I was able to find more accessible options. ⁣

Growing up and through college, I loved crafting. I was on crutches a lot in high school, and I would paint them. I tried all sorts of crafting, and I was able to do it a lot longer than I was playing instruments. But my RA - or rather my difficulty in properly pacing - caught up eventually, and when I had my physical breakdown and moved back to New England, I stopped. ⁣
⁣
I wanted to get back into crafting, and I've always wanted to do embroidery, so when the Internet introduced me to punch needling, I was sold. Honestly, my biggest motivator for not overdoing it on my new hobby is the fact that I enjoy it so much and I would be upset if I overdid it and had to stop. ⁣
⁣
It still hurts that playing instruments - any of the ones I played for years - hurts me. I'm determined that the only reason I will stop a hobby is if I get bored of it, and not that RA or any of my other illnesses gets in the way. ⁣
