The problem with all of these is that they require a computer. I need something I can do without sitting in front of a screen using a keyboard and mouse.  Here are a few ideas I’ve had or people have recommended.

  • Crocheting (it’s all the rage on Twitter, well that at knitting)
  • Wood Carving – I don’t have a shop so I can’t use power tools, carving things out of blocks of wood could be fun
  • Beer Brewing – I’m planning on doing this, I just need to get the funds saved to purchase a kit
  • Drawing/painting – I’m a horrible artist, but it could be worth trying to improve
  • Leather working
  • Candy making – If I started this I would have to start an Etsy store or I would end up being 400 pounds.
  • Pottery/Ceramics

Any other thoughts.  My criteria is reasonable startup cost(<$100), can be performed in an apartments, and can’t involve a computer other than for research/recipe/how-to searching.
