Some of those things can look nice if done right but i have seen some terrible looking attempts as well, maybe the person doing them was just starting out

There seem to be two types that might be what you want:
Mosaic stepping stones

and stained glass stepping stones

Hello Crazylizzy, I was also looking for a hobby, and it took some trying of different things(perfume making, crocheting, knitting) until I found something I truly enjoy doing, and can spend hours at it.
Scrapbooking or more like making memory books.
Here are a couple of video clips if you would like to see some of my work?

Once you do make your mosaics, I would love to see them.
Happy crafting!!

That is very true you can even buy the things you need in the cheaper store for half the cost.
