Also, I LOVE embroidering!! Its so fun and relaxing to me. I'm working on a book cover for Christmas for my mom right now! If you like crochet, you'll probably like embroidering😊

I love to embroider vintage images onto those floursack kitchen towels as gifts. And they get a note that they MUST use the towels so I can make more for them!

I totally agree about having the mindset of not liking reading because I was the same way I thought I don't like reading because I don't like reading long books. Before I was like I could never read a 400 page book because it was so overwhelming to me, but then I realized that the reason it felt so overwhelming is because I didn't like the story in the book so I didn't have that dopamine to keep me going through the entire book. Now I found a book series I absolutely love and that series each book is about 400 pages but now I don't really care because I have that dopamine to keep me going throughout the book and it doesn't feel overwhelming anymore.

I love that, that’s so awesome! It’s so fun when you find books you actually DO enjoy reading - glad to hear you found some! Thanks for watching!

I completely agree that there is a genre of books out there for everyone. I never liked reading either until I turned 17 or so. Somehow I picked up a book about vampires and that’s where my love of reading began! Now 18 years later, and I still love reading and have a huge collection. That one vampire book changed my whole view on reading and has made my life better because of it. I also have a Switch Lite and love cozy gaming SO much. I just downloaded a demo of Fae Farm like a week ago. I thought it was really fun and was considering buying it. After hearing your thoughts on it I think I will buy it. Have you played Cozy Grove? I feel like it’s a very underrated cozy game! It’s so cute and cozy and honestly has some very touching stories and characters in it 🖤 I just started crocheting last June and I completely fell in love with it! I am SO glad I tried it because just like reading it’s completely changed my life for the better. I also suffer with anxiety and mental health issues and crochet dramatically helps with that. I actually read an article on the effects of crochet and knitting on mental health and the numbers were staggering! I think it was something like 85% of people who knit/crochet said it’s helped them with their mental health issues. That’s incredible!! 🖤👏🏻👏🏻 Great video! I’d love to see a part 2,3,4 😊

I do all of these hobbies except for origami! I have this cute book of scrap paper that needs some love and that sounds like the perfect use!

[@hooksandheelers]

Ooo I bet it would be so fun to make som cute origami boxes with it!! I think it’s so fun, I’m sure it’ll turn out great!! 😊❤️

I love video games, both cozy and zombie survival lol. Being a bit older, I gravitate more towards retro games I grew up with, so I have a handheld gaming device that I filled with Atari, Nintendo, and Playstation games. I do like Stardew Valley, except for the fishing!

[@hooksandheelers]

I love the retro style too! I couldn’t agree more, the fishing in Stardew is so frustrating!!😂😂

I got back to Crochet after 6 years. I fell in love all over again❤

One of my best friends has knitted for a long time. I restarted (for probably the 3rd time) last year when I became part of a meetup with my second bestie (who crochets) and a lady she knows who knits. I'm trying to learn how to crochet but keep getting flustered on certain stitches. My second bestie thinks crochet is easier to learn than knitting. I also read for enjoyment though I sometimes get in a funk where I don't want to read anything. I play video games as well. Nintendo (the original) as well as PC games and online games like farmville 3.

[@hooksandheelers]

I found that crocheting was easier for me to learn than knitting! And the same thing happens to me with reading- sometimes when I read a bad book I don’t want to read another for a long time! 😂 thanks for watching!

I am team Pokémon for my cozy gaming. I’m going to give some of the ones you mentioned a try! I also added you on Goodreads 😊
