The pleasure of all this idleness; not too painful for arthritic hands

This is a really fun set! I've done jigsaw puzzles, paint by numbers, diamond painting, etc. to keep me busy during all of this downtime at home, but I've never dabbled in these types of crafts (other than a passing interest in knitting). that my autoimmune arthritis ended abruptly). It was a fun project! It's pretty easy to follow, but I'd recommend reading, studying, and re-reading instructions and patterns before you begin. I'd rate it a 6/10 for ease of use (it should be fairly easy once you start, but it takes a little practice to get the hang of it, especially the finer details). I actually watched a few YouTube videos to make sure I felt safe before starting (I prepare too much πŸ˜„ but I also have some mobility issues so wanted to make sure I could handle it) . I like it because it's not too strenuous, but it requires my full attention so I don't have to worry or wander in my mind (similar to meditation). I plan to hang them up at my home in Arizona once I've finished both, but I started with the wordless first because the small details are more difficult. The good thing is that it doesn't tire my arms like knitting, so I can handle sessions of this activity with minimal pain as long as I'm not having a particularly hard impact. If you want to make something new, this is a fun project. I can't say I wanted to embroider much more than these pre-printed kits, but it's a nice change from other crafts. I also appreciate that everything I need is here so I don't have to go out and buy a bunch of accessories that I may never use again. It minimizes costs, waste, and clutter, making it a winner in my opinion. I would recommend it.

Pros
  • Gift: A fashionable and beautiful gift for your family or friends. Do-it-yourself embroidery will be a special and meaningful gift because of the long time and its peculiarity.
Cons
  • No instructions
