Well I did, but I wasn't good at it.</p> <p>@Goldilocks1107: I don't feel like it takes too much mental energy. Maybe I just do easier projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-143386 Tue, 01 May 2012 10:02:56 +0000 Goldilocks1107 143386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crocheting is my mindless activity because I don't really count my stitches :-)<br /> I like to cross stitch, but it takes more mental energy. And I've been working on this big lighthouse picture for my MIL for the last 2+ years. Good thing she doesn't know about it - otherwise she might start to wonder if she's ever going to get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-143297 Tue, 01 May 2012 09:27:03 +0000 Alivoo01 143297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to cross stitch all the time when I was younger. I would get so excited when I finished one and couldn't wait to pick out my next design. </p> <p>I used to sew all the time also. Curtains, pillow cases, blankets, etc. just for kicks and giggles. My mom was an avid sewing person so I picked it up from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142843 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:51:04 +0000 heffalump 142843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: I'm the opposite, once I start it I want to finish it asap. Probably best your way though, I go at it for so long my hands start hurting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142836 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:46:22 +0000 SleepyMonkey 142836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha, it's actually not a big project, i just pick it up so sporadically, that I've had a hard time finishing. i really do love latch hook, and I always liked the look of the back too - I think in a baby's room, it would look so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142834 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:46:08 +0000 heffalump 142834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: You inspired me! I'm glad I did too, it's very easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142832 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:45:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 142832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to cross stitch too! I'm glad to see you tried latch hook!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142818 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:36:58 +0000 heffalump 142818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Maybe when LO gets a little older that will be my next project.</p> <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Lol, I usually miss my stuff when I give it away! But I do love going to my friend's houses and seeing all of my artwork hanging up (usually paintings) and all the other crafts around that I've made them.</p> <p>@JessLC: What have you been working on for so long? I bet it'll feel good when you're done! My latch hook is for a babies room.... hoping it will look ok there. No way would I expect it to hang in a living room! I actually love the look of the back of it rather then the furry part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142807 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:32:27 +0000 sandy 142807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to crochet a lot...I bought a book of patterns to make small stuffed toys...I made a few for LO's room :).

But, I do it in spurts with long breaks in between. I've been working on the same project for 15+ years, haha! When I was younger, I also loved to do latch hook...i don't think furry looking wall hangings are in vogue these days though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142777 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:03:59 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 142777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I usually gave them away, too :D Usually I was more than ready not to stare at it anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142774 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:01:08 +0000 chopsuey 142774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: it's really easy! i would learn to crochet too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142773 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:59:05 +0000 heffalump 142773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: I usually just make things as gifts, like aprons and bibs.

I had a hard time finding patterns I liked, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142762 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:50:01 +0000 heffalump 142762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: It's hard to find time now a days! But it's so worth it when I do.</p> <p>@chopsuey119: I never learned to knit.

I haven't done it in ages, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-mindless-craft#post-142754 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:44:24 +0000 heffalump 142754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to cross stitch. It's easy, mindless, and you always get an awesome result. I'm in the middle of my first latch hook, and it's also very easy, but I'm not in love with the finished product. It's a gift though.... so hoping my friend likes it! </p>
