Cross stitch. It's a slow craft but is so relaxing . But a copy of The world of cross stitch it will come with a free kit for you to try. I didn't realise how little crosses can make beautiful pictures . I did these using patterns in The world of cross stitching. The mice took a week each,dragon 3 months and my owl 2 months . That's what I need it's slow .
My sister in law does needle felting .
I'd like to try something new as a form of relaxation and am thinking of taking up a craft of some sort. I must admit I'm not good at practical things involving using my hands, but I admire people who can make things. I've tried knitting and pottery painting, without much success. I usually do pilates and creative writing to relax.
I'd be very grateful for some ideas from creative grans.
