I'm at March 2020 levels of needing an active craft project at all times to dissociate into or else risking a full blown mental breakdown.

I've done five (5!) of these kits - they're just the right balance of guidance and "idk you, do what you want" for me

Exactly what I've been doing, prizes for village fete lucky dip to fit inside 2" boxes. They have world events to thank for this!

More merit badges for Simon? Will he need a second sash at this rate?

lauriemuchnick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Just ordered a Bargello throw pillow kit.

emilylhauser.bsky.social•3 days ago

! I've never heard of these - now deciding which one I want to get started on!

It's so soothing—and I still have a pillow I made at summer camp circa 1978. https://hellobargello.com/collections/bargello-kits/products/gloria

Only 'an active craft project' and not several?

Yup, just started a new crochet project. When I get bored with it, there’s always knitting, needlepoint, and cross stitch. If necessary, I’m not above macaroni projects.

I'm thinking about crocheting my sign for a Tuesday protest.

dikeller.bsky.social•3 days ago

Love this idea!

jessbarnes.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just bought a paint by number kit 🥴

I am baking daily now to disassociate from the train wreck. Do i need 5 loaves?? No but it keeps my mind busy

markyarm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mine's napping.

maryvarshini108.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is fair, just line up the projects!

And somehow we have 4 years left, rather than 8 months.
It's going to be a long long ride.

The way I’ve been making sourdough twice a week like it’s March 2020

erinjeanwarde.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have 3 color by numbers paintings on the way

withane11.bsky.social•3 days ago

I use several apps for color by number - I could seriously do those ALL DAY LONG!

cece714.bsky.social•3 days ago

I do the diamond dot painting kits. Just the right amount of creating.

emewm.bsky.social•3 days ago

With you sister

frogprof.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, me too! In fact, I have unfinished active craft projects all over the house for that very purpose.

carinr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Me too. In late 2022 I ordered an embroidery kit and then I packed it up when I moved out for a remodel, and I have no idea where I put it. Which I guess means I need to pick something else entirely. I have curtains to sew, but that's not fiddly enough for my brain's needs.

Can I recommend the floral Lego kits? This one got me through election night in (barely) one piece.

purpleprince89.bsky.social•3 days ago

No way to dissociate from this reality unless you are using hard drugs.

junesally.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m coping by creating life;)) Propagating, seeds, just making babies. Same as during the pandemic! Highly recommend.

darkfloors.bsky.social•3 days ago

Here's one: could you knit me a gf? Money no object! ❤️

inventreinvent.bsky.social•3 days ago

LEGO!

torchlake2843.bsky.social•3 days ago

Puzzles with Simon...and you too, Sophie!

I am considering taking up primitive pottery making because I have an abundance of clay, sand, and dry firewood on my property. I realize your circumstances are different, but I’m sure you can buy pottery clay and visit a pottery studio with the proper kilns in NYC.

I crocheted an entire sweater this weekend while I watched Zero Day and Toxic Town in their entirety. That’s how I spared myself a mental breakdown.
