      No, :-( i have found that i can do miniature painting as it requires much smaller movements. I miss sewing and baking though and just wondered if there were any gadgets or tips to help.

      Thanks for the suggestion.

    I have started look knitting which I love. It's basically wrapping the wool around pegs with your fingers and casting it off with a hook. I find the round ones easiest as I put it in between my legs whilst sitting. Turning the wheel as I go. Tutorials are on you tube. I have arthritis in my fingers so find this achievable. 

    My husband also made me a tea tray. It's a wooden tray on legs that you can put over you. I use mine in bed. My husband covered it with green felt so nothing falls off it. I use mind for all sorts and it is big enough to rest your arms and hands on too xx
