I'm an actor. I do community theatre, and every now and then, I get a paid gig. My DH travels Mon - Thurs each week permanently, so I'm only able to do this when the stars align just right. I do an average of two shows a year. If it's summer, I can get a sitter to watch DS in the evenings when I rehearse. If it's the schoolyear, it's harder, and so these have to be low-maintenance shows without alot of props or scene changes (hence, less rehearsal) or improv shows. Performances are always weekends, so that's not a problem. My parents and good friend help out when needed. I don't do any shows that require more than 2 rehearsals during the Mon - Thurs time period, unless it's a real big deal. Like I was in The Laramie Project and had a major role, so I made that work. But that's one show like that in the past three years.
I also write a monthly newsletter for my Star Trek fan club. However, that's really gotten lax. Monthly is more like quarterly now. DH and I got to monthly events/meetings for the club and usualy bring DS if it's appropriate. If it's not, we get a sitter or we just don't go. We used to be in charge of the club, but it got too hard with DS, so we stepped down. But we still go when we feel like it, if we are able.
I make hand-made boxed cards. It's not an every day thing. Every now and then. There's a holiday boutique at my son's school this year, I may try to do that. We'll see. Show has to come first, if that happens.
