Hobbies Current and Gone

I went through the phase of painting rocks. It didn't last long! So now I have a small collection of rocks sitting in my office in my way, totally unpainted and I don't want to throw them out but I don't know what to do with them.

I figure if I am going to spend all that time painting, making a mess, having to clean it up, I may as well be painting pictures which I can either sell, keep out to enjoy or shove into a box under my bed. (I do have limited storage in this small apartment).

I wonder how many 'hobbies' I have started only to soon stop. Tons! Do you do that?😀

But, I do stick with a few things that really catches my interest, like blogging, painting pictures, writing, journaling. And, once, my quilting. But, I had to stop that one due to arthritis. 

Oh, and my newest hobby, Instagram. You all oughta check out my Instagram posts @accidently_aging.

So, today, just for the heck of it... and for Blue Monday here is a rock I painted, back when I was 'into' it.

  1. There's just something about holding a small smooth rock in the palm of your hand that is calming. (or makes for a good weapon ;) I'm headed over to your Instagram page. I just started there myself last week.

    It is only by trying new things that we learn what it is that we really enjoy
    Have a great week!

  3. It's the blue on the rock that makes it rock!

  4. Isn't it interesting how fads, styles and our tastes change over the years. When my girls were small I was really into cross-stitching. Rock painting somewhat re-emerged here 1 to 2 years ago when people painted them then left them for others to find. I never did get into that. Have a wonderful last week of August!

  7. You forgot to include porcelain doll making, crochet and knitting in your list of things you've been "into." :-) And we've probably missed one or two other things as well. Variety is the spice of life!
