Art.
Even if you do it badly (like I do), it is very therapeutic.
Great choice. I like that.

I make greeting cards. I have been collecting the various tools and materials for several years. I've now got so many supplies I could probably stock a small shop!
I try to mix the various methods of papercrafting to add interest. I really enjoy making cards but I wish I was better at colouring in stamped images.

I dabble in artsy stuff. All you really need is a pencil, an eraser, and some paper. Or just pen and paper if you're a rebel.
Drawing is fun
If you're interested in knitting or crochet those are options too! I also enjoy some windowsill gardening. Plants are great.

I made a Fisherman's Wharf in a shadow box. I use 1" x 2" wood for the frame. It was 18" wide, 12" high and 2" deep. There was the fisherman's shack, a pulley lift for his boat, yes I made the boat. Crab traps, a fishing net (yes, I made it), a pole light, fishing gear all made by me and other odds and ends. The roof was aged wood shingles I made and aged with strong black coffee. Took me about 2 months working on it now and again. All of it was made out of balsa wood
EDIT: I forgot to mention I wired it for electricity that used batteries for power. Even the pole light worked and, of course, the inside of the shack. I don't have it any more. A friend told a friend who lives on a beach about it. He bought it from me. I quoted $30.00 for it. He gave me a $50.00 bill and told me to keep the change.
That sounds wonderful. You are a miniaturist!
I've dabbled in making miniature scenes using 1/12th scale miniatures I've bought and making some items myself. Many years ago I did a wizard's fireplace scene for one of my sons. I had great fun making an ornate gold high backed chair from cardboard and a wizard's staff from a bamboo kebab skewer.
A very talented friend made me a room box of a steampunk workshop as a thank you for helping her during a difficult time. The back wall has a boiler and pipes. The ceiling has "iron" supports with "rivets". There's a workbench with a gizmo on it, a rack of tools on the wall and there's a "time machine" in the centre of the floor. The inventor wears a white shirt, checked trousers, a leather apron and a top hat adorned with goggles and gears. He has a friendly little robot in the corner. Its amazingly detailed and I love it!
