Quarantine Hobbies?

Has anyone been learning new things while dealing with lockdown quarantine? I've been working on my languages but not as much as I should be!!

 

I was trying to upstart a photography business when quarantine hit like a sack of potatoes. So I wound up taking photos of jumping spiders. lol. It happened completely by chance when I came across this spider (she is now my pet named Francis) and took photos of her. I've learned a lot about macro photography in a short amount of time. It's been a blast!

 

That's a beautiful photo! I'm not a fan of spiders but that one's actually kind of cute.

I started getting into punch embroidery and my flatmate's been getting into knitting and macrame, so between the two of us, there's a lot of strange fabric around the flat these days.

 

It's not so much that I started new hobbies, but I've been returning to old ones. Roleplaying being the biggest one that I've gotten back into afte being on a hiatus of, I don't even know how many years. Additionally, I've been baking more and gotten back into photography.

 

Understanding the vast and chaotic world of Linux. It has become the ultimate quest...

 

I've played more games in 2020 than I have in the last 3 months combined.

 

I actually got back into writing because of quarantine! An 8 year hiatus?

 

I cannot say I have really been learning anything. I have been reading, gaming, and painting Pathfinder figures. lol

 

I have definitively been playing more video games and writing more since lockdown.

 

Surprised no one has mentioned Animal Crossing in this thread yet! It was released at the perfect time for dissociating yourself on to a tiny island, hah

 

More play-by-post rpgs! This hobby was made for quarantine.
I've been meaning to learn the tarot for years, so my new lock-down hobby is pulling three cards every day and trying to figure out what they mean.

 

I've been super busy with my job this year actually so not a lot of free time, but I recently got into miniature making. I just finished a ridiculously long project for a holiday living room scene. I had to build everything from scratch - the couch, the lamp, the lights, the rug, presents, Christmas tree, etc. It was crazy, but I'm so proud I've finished!

 

Making new roleplay sites, photoshop... much the same as before but with so much more time for it. I love it.

 

Forum Roleplay and Genshin Impact for sure!

 

Valheim--AKA Viking homesteading simulator.

 

In terms of life, I've technically been under the quarantine life since I was 17, but I mean, during actual quarantine, I did the obvious thing and made bread. Just normal white bread, from a bread maker, but still. Oh, and I've picked up reading again. Proper reading of novels and stuff.

 

Between recovering from the 'what in the h..." mood when I got sent home and then laid off when the lockdowns started... and getting reemployed around the time the vaccines were available, I really got into amigurumi. So I have all kinds of little crochet critters and objects around on my desk at home and now at my job. :P

 

Writing and playing various games. Not at all too different than what it was pre-Covid!

 

This isn't a new hobby, but lately I've gotten back into my dolls/miniatures hobby... Photography and crafts and stuff. It's certainly kept me busy, but I'm a bit of a shut-in to begin with haha. Still, nice to get into it again...

 

Well I started drawing, but I'm visually impaired so I'm not very good XD I have been working on my quizzing though! I'm really hoping to be a contestant on The Chase one day so I've had a lot of time to practise and I've been taking full advantage of it!
