Finding a Hobby

So Jackie’s been sitting at home with Ian for 4 months now and is incredibly bored. All she every does is read. I suggested a hobby, but she doesn’t really have any (except scrapbooking, which is expensive)- So what I want to do is get some ideas from all the people who read my site. Here are the base rules:

• cheap- no more than $25 start up cost and that must last 3 weeks.
• work from home- Jackie doesn’t have a car during the day
• Not computer-related
• Space limited- it’s a small apartment, so Float-building is out.
• baby friendly- Ian is still a factor since she’s home with him all day:
  • baby safe (no toxic fumes, molten metal, etc)
  • drop/pickup easily (Ian gets hungry/poops often and unpredictably)

I’m sure there’s more little rules, but those are good enough for now- Here’s what I’ve thought of:

• Carving:
  • Wood figurines
  • Plaster figurines
  • Soap figurines
• Painting:
  • figurines/miniatures
  • small statues
  • ceramics
• play with electronics (we have a 100 in 1 electronic experiments board)
• Music:
  • Learn to sing
  • Learn Keyboard (have one)
  • Learn Bass (have one)
  • relearn clarinet (she has one)
• making puppets/muppets/marionettes
• find a work-at-home clerical/dataentry/paperpusher job (what she’s currently looking for)

Any suggestions guys? I really need some help with this one.
