| I grabbed this graphic above off Google and didn't know what "ikebana" is. So I already learned something new: it's Japanese art of flower arranging. (Hobby: learn a new word a day!) |
Hobbyclub.org is a simple website. But I think that is why it appeals to me.
It can be downright embarrassing not even knowing how to start a particular hobby. Just go into a knitting shop and ask about how to start and see what happens. You are either inundated with questions in languages you don't speak OR you are treated like someone with a recent serious head injury.
Hobby Club promises to take you through a year-long journey, one month at a time, via an email newsletter, with a new hobby. Basically a tasting menu of twelve different things. You may only find one new hobby, but at $12 for your investment, it might be just the thing. And they specifically say calligraphy and balloon animals are not on the list, so I am immediately at ease.
They started in January so now two months in. I've signed up and will keep you posted. I"ll see if I end up adding another hobby to my life; one of the others being this blog :)
