I love that you're doing something for you! It's so important that we give our brains a rest from our obligations and let ourselves have time to decompress and create/play/read purely for pleasure.
I love this! The last few years I've taught myself crocheting and sewing! Crocheting is perfect for keeping my hands busy while watching movies or yt vids, and sewing my own clothes that fit me is awesome!
I got into crocheting flowers for a community project The Purple Road - paving the way to positive ageing. I have now done 165 and still counting...best thing I have done in years
Omg I love this. I’ve been knitting giant blankets that take more than a year to complete. It’s fun doing something just for the doing, more than the finished thing.
i rly enjoy sewing! for the holidays i asked all my friends to pick an animal and i made them stuffed animals with the animal they picked! and i gave both my grandmas homemade pillows with “merry christmas, xoxo” embroidered on!
Cross stitching is one of my favorite things to do. Unfortunately, my hands only allow me to do about 200 stitches at a time now. It breaks my heart. I've been on the same project for years and have another one waiting. I would complain about how difficult it has become to find cross stitch kits, but I will probably spend the rest of my life on the two I have. I'm 32. Repetitive factory work destroyed my hands. I can't even mow the lawn on a riding mower because the vibration of the steering wheel causes unbelievable pain. I didn't realize this until I bought a house with 5 acres of grass to cut.
I have also recently taken up cross stitching and am currently working on a picture of David Tennant. 😅 also can i ask if you bought the scissors because they are the ones used in over the garden wall? because i have the same ones and may have been influenced by the show. 🙈
I have shamefully yet to see Over the Garden Wall, even though I'm sure I'd love it. So no, not inspired by that. Just cool and were on sale! Good luck with the David Tennant picture! Big fan of that goofball.
Ok, first of all - crossstitching rules And then it's literally a thing ive been doing to relax about half my life now and it's fun to see people discover it ^_^
YOOOO NO WAY!!! It’s not cross stitching, but I’ve recently gotten a hobby of that variety as well just kinda to deal with things :D normally I’d make art, animate or write (which is all stuff I tend to share on the internet), but recently I’ve mentally just not been able to, sooo I got into sewing! Like the making ur own clothes kind :3 and that’s kinda also just for me atm It’s nice to hear from other people as well that it’s okay to just do things for you Btw the few our flag means death ones and the Jurassic park stich are EPICCCC!!
Sewing your own clothes is awesome! I learned to sew as a kid and have always meant to get back into it. One day... It's so nice to have outlets that *aren't* online. And thank you! The OFMD pattern is from stitchquestion on Etsy and the Jurassic Park one is from HappySlothPatterns on Etsy. The only pattern I designed myself so far was the Queens one, based on a sign in my neighborhood :)

Stoked to see you found a thing that’s just for you. I also find that stuff really grounding.

I crochet, counted cross stitch, and seed beading. Sooo happy to see a young person doing it too!
Cool. My mom used to do that all the time, until her hands got too bad to do it anymore. Does a bit of crochet still from time to time.
Oh that's fun. I've really gotten back into crochet this year and it's been great for my mental health.
Great advice. I needed to hear this.
Thanks.

it was definitely time consuming but i enjoyed (almost) every minute of it!
Those all look great!
😊 you should do a bunch of content on your cross stitching I'm here for it! I mean if you're ready to leave the realm of it being just for you!
I love crossstitching. Its so fun and soothing
