Good work on starting something new :D I haven't done much more work on my sampler yet. I did get an adult colouring book for Christmas and I've kind of been doing that instead, especially as I got some new gel pens to use with it XD *such a kid*

Jewellery making sounds fun, I don't have any experience with that. The closest thing I ever did was probably putting some nail polish on chopsticks to make hair sticks out of them :D
Do you have something specific you'd like to try out if you had the time /energy for it?
Is there a reason why you don't do as much crafting as you used to? Lack of time? Lack of inspiration?
Thanks! I'd probably do necklaces/chokers since i do enjoy neck jewelry, and earrings are pretty interesting, and i slowed down on crafting cause it was one of my coping mechanisms and i guess i don't need it as much as i used to, but even if it was, it was still enjoyable.

@Driver (is it ok to shorten your name to that? Do you have a short nickname you prefer? Or would you rather I always spell it out?):
Necklaces are nice :) And I really like chokers, I think they can look super cute with the right outfit. I was pretty happy that they got back into style a short while ago.
Earrings I've seen a lot of fun looking tutorials/diy videos for, I feel like there's a lot of stuff you can do with them. Only my ears aren't pierced, so I'm not tempted to actually make any :D
Hm, maybe you can get back into it just as a hobby, without using it in that way if you did enjoy it? :) But not needing coping mechanisms anymore sounds generally great, so congratulations on that! :)
@jacob:
Awesome :) I don't mind waiting, you know me, I'm bad at this myself... ;) I really should take a picture of that crochet-back top... :D I've worn it quite a few times this summer, but somehow never thought to take pictures

Now isn't really the weather for it, though :D

Thanks! and yeah i might pick it back as a hobby, also your ears aren't pierced? why if you don't mind me asking, and thank you, i'm glad i've gotten to the point where i don't rely on to many coping mechanisms.

Well, I just never got them pierced and see no particular reason to do it.
I mean, it's a thing that hurts and costs money and would cost me even more money down the line, because I know there's sooo many cute earrings out in the world that I then couldn't resist buying, so... Why should I do it, really?

Is it very uncommon to not have pierced ears where you live?

It's quite uncommon here, for women anyway.
