Her indoors , as we speak is sitting down at the dining table , with her colouring book . When did this craze start ?

I really became aware of it about 18 months ago and it's grown and grown

Ooh a couple of years ago.

I wouldn't do it myself, but if you need something to take your mind off your worries then it might help.
I used to do embroidery for that reason until my sister said "how sad" with a sigh.

When did it start for her indoors? I've been doing them for years, I see there's a related question from spudqueen from 2013. The adult coloring books are great to help users relax and de-stress

[Cloverjo]

I suppose it is a bit like painting-by-numbers kits. My Grampy always got one for Christmas even though he was quite a good artist anyway.

duksie - she started recently after I banned her from leaving the house and stopped her friends coming round

[choux]

Tired of living Bazile?

[ducksie]

slave driver, no wonder she needs to de-stress ;)

[mazie]

Yeah, of course you did Bazile..and if she ever read this you know where those crayons would be!

[choux]

Sharp ends first mazie?

[mazie]

of course choux :o)

[choux]

Well, there would be no point otherwise ;)

[woofgang]

oh quite a few years ago now

[Bazile]

Straight up - why don't you believe me ?

I saw some adult join-the-dots books the other day - thought I may get myself one but the numbers were so small I would need a magnifying glass at my age! haha ............

[silliemillie]

Where does she get the books from if she doesn't leave the house?
