Need ideas for creating as I can’t build with broken finger 😭😭

[MsMinky]

I’m really struggling at the moment. With my broken finger and my hand not working properly, I can’t do any of my little builds, and honestly it’s making me so sad. Sitting there looking at my kits and not being able to create feels miserable and lonely. Building has always been my happy place, my comfort, and my way to relax my mind.

I’m feeling a bit lost and despondent without it. Has anyone ever gone through something similar? Or maybe has ideas of little things I could do while I heal? I’d really love some suggestions or encouragement, because right now my heart feels a bit heavy

I’m sorry to hear about your finger. How long would it take for it to get better? I hope it is really soon.
I would suggest for you to take break and focus on healing first. Perhaps, you can cuddle your cute cat when you feel a bit down.

I’m sorry about your hand, but everything passes, you’ll see you’ll recover.

I can recommend a similar hobby that you can build with just one hand, hehe.

They’re Lego bricks! They’re flat.

You can build and repair everything perfectly with one hand!

Or something similar but cheaper. Like the pictures they sell on Temu or AliExpress that have little rhinestones and you can use just one hand.

They come in every theme you can imagine, last for hours and days, and are very affordable.

That way your hand can rest and you can try some great hobbies!

I hope this helps!

[MsMinky]

Thanks so much for the great ideas. I will check out the diamond dot art and yes I have Lego so shall have a go at that

[MsMinky]

Yes I can rest up and not focus on my hobby but it makes me board and restless

[Grey74]

Sorry to hear about your hand. I understand the sadness for sure. I had to use the time away to reset and discover new hobbies as well. But as I’m sure you know nothing really compares lol. Hope you heal soon

I’m really sorry you’re going through this It’s completely understandable to feel sad and lost when you can’t do the builds that bring you comfort — they’ve been such a big part of your happy place.

It’s wonderful to have someone who understands me.

I am so sorry to hear about your hand. Maybe a jigsaw puzzle amongst the other suggestions above. You really have a lot of options given. I hope you heal soon

@MsMinky im sorry about your finger id be lost to ! I hope you reacover soon ! @sasa suggested a lego build maybe ?? Or diamond artvor a puzzle ot maybe a few crosswords ?

[Alicesharpe]

Awh sorry about your finger! Mine was damaged a few months ago from crafting i suggest going for a Softer kit..a super creator may i suggest?

[JDisaduck]

Aww Keri I’m sending you another big big hug! And lots of love! I hope you feel better and recover soon.

Like others I think jigsaw puzzles are a good option! You can use your non dominant hand and it wouldn’t require a lot of force. Plus you get to frame it after you’re done!

Sorry to hear about it. I can imagine how difficult for u to not able to do what u used to be. But at least your cat is with u.

If I am in your position, I might pick some tv series to watch, chill out and relax.

Hoped u have a speedy recovery

[Carmie]

You have the best medicine right there on your chest… Love of a pet. Could you manage doing a jigsaw… your finger shouldn’t be a handicap…

[Suzanne_Jones]

Sorry to hear about the finger. I hope the surgery went well for you.
Everyone has great suggestions for you. Did you know that Rolife have jigsaw puzzles? Hobbyco in Sydney have them.

[valleyggoo]

Ooooh please your kitty is there trying to comfort you this the cutest thing ever please kiss your baby for me and wishing you a speedy recovery

[Jill_Francisco]

Awww hugs @MsMinky I hope you will recover soon.

Why not binge watch a series while you’re healing?

[Tricia12]

I hope you get better soon. If you want to, then super creator kits would be the best option. But I think you should rest it well.

[Orangesareus]

Feel better @MsMinky ! Maybe paint by numbers or jigsaw puzzles! Or one of those colouring books by numbers as well. Praying for a speedy recovery

[joy.licerio]

I can imagine the boredom. I know it is hard especially if you have been doing it everyday then suddenly you have to stop.

perhaps some adult coloring book or making some poster using AI.

get better soon
