Right now, I’m listening to all the moody, acoustic jams that wrap me up in warmth and joy. I don’t know about you, but there are certain songs that fully encapsulate the feeling of a month or season. I write this while listening to my cozy and curated October playlist. ( Clay mushrooms, anyone?) Mix Up Your Monthly or Seasonal Playlists With my fall garlands already arranged, I’m already gearing up for the holidays by decking the halls with the cutest and easiest ornaments. For that, I have a dedicated Pinterest board with seasonal DIY tasks. But I’ve also found that half the fun of a craft is arming yourself with an abundance of inspiration and ideas to check off your list. I find no greater joy than taking a project all the way from beginning to end. Bonus: As you improve your skills, you can do most any fiber art activity while watching your favorite cozy season movies or bingeing a podcast. However, I’ve also found that attending classes at my local knitting or craft store has helped me build a community of like-minded fiber folks as well. There’s no shortage of tutorials to help you learn on YouTube. (Weaving, macrame, rug hooking, and quilting are all on my list as well.) I’ve been knitting since I was nine, but this season, I have my sights set on learning to crochet. Plus, your creations will make beautiful, heartfelt gifts for the holidays. Speaking of making your own clothes, fiber arts are a wonderful way to fill your closet with soft and cozy DIY’d pieces. For inspiration, DIY Daisy is my favorite designer on Instagram (and her book Sew It Yourself is a wonderful reminder that you can be a self-taught sewer as well). I’m picturing long, flowing dresses that I’ll layer over tights and under sweaters and cozy pants that are the slightest step up from sweats. I love the idea of filling my closet with handmade creations. With the rise of social media over the past decade and quick videos becoming influencers’ and online creatives’ medium of choice, the allure of making our own clothes has come into vogue. I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but along with upcycling old threads and thrifting for sartorial gems, sewing is back in a big way.

But the beautiful thing about hobbies is that they stand to remind you that you’re a vibrant, complete person beyond your job and the obligations that fill your day. In our mile-a-minute world where constant connectivity, over-committing, and always being on your phone are the norm, it can be a challenge to make time for anything else. And in relationships, it’s my hope that my partners share that same value.īut at the same time, I get it. While I wouldn’t call it a dealbreaker, I feel strongly about the activities and projects that keep me occupied, inspired, and growing beyond the skills that I monetize. Their expressions wore the question: Who has time for that? And especially when the temps turned frigid, there seemed to be a shocking lack of interest in winter hobbies that could be done indoors.
When the conversation would inevitably turn to the question of, “ What do you like doing outside of work?” the blank stares I’d often receive took me by surprise. I began to notice a troubling consistency crop up. So grab a pre-workout snack, move your coffee table out of the way, pull out your favorite sports bra or yoga pants, and get started.When I was a single gal dating in Washington, D.C.
