Hi all,

I was just wondering, for all you out there who aren't very mobile and your hands aren't too good either, have you found any good hobbies?? Besides the obvious like reading!! ;)
LOVE EMMA X

    I play games on my PS Vita.
    I'm also trying to teach myself to crochet :roll: Not an easy task with fingers that don't bend, or are permanently bent, can't grasp, and won't do as I ask them :lol: My daughter says she's never heard such language. :shock:

    I started making greeting cards, but ran out of celebrations to make for and then I got bored with it. The older I get the more difficult I find it to get really *into* something, my attention span seems to be getting shorter!!

    I enjoy reading (Of course!!), jigsaws on the computer like jilly and doing word searches.

    I am doing (slowly) a tapestry. :D

    and I love my garden - even if a fair bit of it is me telling my husband what to do :lol:

    I enjoy pottering in the garden but am looking for something to do when I can't do that. I'm trying to get back in to reading but can't get interested enough to stick with the story. I'm like you Numps, not got a very long attention span these days. Online jigsaws sound good.

    I've come late to this discussion but I was just about to ask everyone the same question. I've started painting and drawing again and I also make candles ( although I've had to stop as I've made too many ! ) Candle making is very easy on the joints ! I'm wanting to learn a new craft hobby that isn't too taxing on the hands but as yet I've not found something. I tried crochet but it was a disaster ! :oops:
