Creative Ideas Wanted

12:15 pm - 03/08/2004
My best friend and I get together every Sunday afternoon to craft. This winter, it's been primarily crocheting, with a bit of collaging and soap making thrown in. My husband has shown an interest in participating with us, for the social aspect as well as expressing his creativity. I have had a horrible time, however, finding a craft that is inexpensive and that I think he'll enjoy doing -- both with us, and on his own. He was in an accident a few years back that shattered his right arm, so that makes any repetitive motion (like crocheting) impossible for him.

Any ideas?

There is a gal who crochets that runs http://www.electrickat.com/ that crochets with a prosthetic limb. I just thought I would throw that out there, because she makes amazing stuff.

Does your hubby need any adaptive equipment, or is it just that the repetative motion becomes painful?

I was going to add this to the FAQs, but I don't know where would be good.. Oh goddess, please tell me *bows down*

I added it to "crafting with disabilities". I love that we have a growing section of that!

Perhaps we can get a new faq with regards to crafting as a couple???? I know I've been trying to find stuff to do with my hubby, so it's awesome to see some ideas.
