Continue ShoppingTwenty years from now when we look back on the turn of the second decade of this century, a lot of people will have fond memories of their “side hustle”.
Sure people have always had hobbies and things to do, but the isolation of the last two years has rocketed home based side hustles. Some created web based companies or simply learned to use the web. Still, others took an existing hobby and were able to invest in it. More time, more creativity, leads to more things being created. I know this because my brother is one such person.
As a front line worker, his affinity for woodworking comes from engaging a different part of his brain to destress from a busy day, let alone a pandemic. We can all relate to the need to do that, as most of us have increased the size of our gardens, or number of plants to escape our new routine.
Having a creative outlet is important for people. My brother is also the DIY type who finished his own basement and did all the carpentry and drywall by himself. But something was still missing. Until he turned his attention to charcuterie and cutting boards. All of a sudden, friends and co-workers are lining up for his side hustle. We have been selling his creations at the farmstand all summer. He has responded with new designs and shapes and my favourite, by artistically weaving epoxy through walnut to produce the most talked about item in the kitchen.
Day 11 of our 24 days of giveaways is one of JZN Woodworx finest walnut charcuterie boards. It is 30cm wide and almost 50 cm long. And can be used for display or serving. Sure it’s conditioned for cutting but who would do such a thing…

I like to sell cuttings of my houseplants online, they go for cheap but when you have a whole bunch it amounts to a good side hustle!

My flower garden, of course! Dreaming that someday it will be more than just a hobby. I also make cold-process soap, which has turned into a small, side business.

My husband makes lip balm using the beeswax from our two hives — it’s not for sale, but it’s a really sweet gift for friends and family and I’m so proud of him for taking this on!

My side hustle is my flowers, very organically my hobby has turned into my hustle and it’s amazing!
