Hobby of Creativity

Hobby of Creativity: The hobby of being creative; seriously serious, or genuinely fun and relaxing. Maybe a hobby isn't a hobby when you compete with others. Prideful joy is healthy, especially if you have been canning jams and jellies for years, with little or no recognition, other than the joy it brought to your families tastebuds. Then you awarded first prize, a blue-ribbon at the county fair. Your hobby of making preserves, and to the best of your ability; is the reward. A beautiful deserving merit, from family, friends and if you're lucky a blue ribbon confirming excellence.

A sincere hobby gives something special, and it keenly promotes self worth. Is it your hobby to paint, write, woodworking, singing, crossword puzzles, crafting or is it quilting? As I mention quilts with much admiration. I can't help but think of an art installation I saw at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. This particular show featured numerous quilts, some were made many years ago, and some are more contemporary. As myself and others viewed these beautiful artistic creations, they became spellbinding. Their colorful compositions and the texturalness of the fabrics and their overall ability to communicate handmade creativity, were truly hypnotizing. When you think of art and what creatively goes into a painting, it's hard to imagine what goes on, and into the making a beautiful quilt.

The creative socialization of hobbies is perhaps one of its most glowing and rewarding benefits that we humans derive pleasure from. Think of the hobby of reading books, and reading clubs, where a bunch of people congregate in someone's home, have tea and cookies; have discussions about the books or book they all are reading, and in many cases, one of the participants will stand up and read out loud, to eager book aficionados, notable written passages. Then collectively everyone in the room can become philosophical... Then one by one, they play the role of the pontificate, lobbying for their opinions to be heard.
