That is depressing. Mrs. Genesplicer and I actually have hobbies that we can do at the same place and time, usually in the studio we have at home. We have a work table in the center, benches around the walls and storage cabinets above. I build models, do papercrafting, draw, paint, build things, mold and cast, do electronic projects. On one wall we have a TV, so we can watch shows while working. During the summer, when we don't have time obligations, our schedule looks kind of like this:


1200: Get up, move to couches
1200 - 1400: Read books on the couch, enjoy breakfast
1400 - 1600: Routine household tasks
1600 - 2100: In studio, doing art/crafts/hobbies
2100 - 2300: If anything interesting is going on, move telescopes into back yard, do some astronomy, otherwise continue in studio
2300 - 0400: In studio, doing more art/crafts/hobbies

Some days we may have school work in there, but we can usually do that in the studio while the other person is doing arty stuff, or working on school, as well.

The advantage to our studio is we have plenty of space to spread out (500 square feet), so we can work on multiple projects at once. When paint is drying on a painting, you can be soldering a circuit board. It is great!
