Crafts?
Hi my name is kimberlee I just joined the group. I'm going in for shoulder replacement on the 12th of this month. I love to crochet but I don't think I'll be able to do it. My question is does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how or what is a good craft for someone with the use of one arm.

Coloring! I did that when I was recouperating from a surgery. I took my time and even framed a few and gave away.
Hi Kimberlee, I had 2 hip surgeries in the last year and I totally understand limitations. I have several projects on my website that you could do with one arm, and I'd love to invite you over. If you need some addition direction, just email me through my website :) https://chascrazycreations.com/
Hope everything goes well and you’re back to 2 arms fast. In the meantime painting or drawing can be done singlehandedly.
Hi Kimberlee, you could try diamond painting, or even coloring. Here is a link with several crafts, hopefully a few that can be done one handed

Does it have to be a craft? What about mind expansion with solitaire, suduko, and free jigsaw puzzles on the computer? Got to also agree with painting. Could be simple water colors. Dipping in paint and water would be easy. You may surprise yourself with talent yo did not know you had.
What about a paint by numbers project? The new ones are beautiful!
Hello Kimberlee,
You might be able to continue crochet if you hold your arm close to your waist and just use your wrist! When you say one arm (WHICH ONE) Are you left or right handed?
Thank you I'm right handed
How about picture puzzles or even Legos?
