Empty nest and crafting to fill the void

[Starrycorn]

To the mums out there who still find them selves setting up arts and crafts stations even though your kids are at school or have outgrown wanting to craft and paint, don't worry about it if you find crafting and painting fun and relaxing go for it, just because we're adults doesn't mean we can't still have fun doing non harmful pursuits, think about it 200yrs ago women were encouraged to have innocent fun rather than going out and getting drunk or abusing drugs, so long as you remember to take care of bills and the who cares how we relax, everyone is unique so to those who think that belittling someone's idea of fun is OK well it's not that just makes you a bully. To those who still enjoy cuddling with a plushie or stuffies and enjoy watching Disney films embrace who you are and don't feel bad for being different, because everyone is

Absolutly

Well said! Crafting is very soothing - but the kids plushies, make me sad!

Yes, I often think that if I weren't crafting I'd be necking vodka straight from the bottle and snorting cocaine. 🤣

That said, buying craft supplies is almost as addictive as crack... 🤔

lol learning to crochet has saved me from being a phone addict and alcoholic!

There's no harm in buying yourself a plushie...after all they make giant plushies for a reason, I doubt that they were originally meant for children as most children of plushie snuggling age would end up smothered by a giant plushie, having children is just a great excuse when buying your own plushies

soupdragon you made me laugh! ( swigs vodka).

Soupdragon, you are so right! Snif. I mean. about. paint supplies. Snif.
