dollsahoy:

back again encouraging people to start using the hobby stuff they’ve been acquiring for years

reasons to start can include:

• the hobby industry wants only for us to keep buying and never use, so using the stuff pushes back
• some hobby items do not survive long term storage
• if there’s some craft or hobby thing that you want to do but feel your skills aren’t up to, consider that those skills won’t improve if you don’t practice on other things
• using it allows it to move from the hobby hoard to the [whatever you made it into] hoard, where you may be more likely to enjoy it more often than just when you specifically look at the hobby hoard
• making things is good for the brain

curious to see what other reasons people might add
