I also recommend knot work. My favorite books are Ashley's Book of knots, Handbook of Knots, The Hervey Garret Smith Dover Pubs and The Sailmaker's Apprentice
Start with getting good enough making gaskets with 3 strand braid that you can teach children to make their own. Perfect the Boatwain's WHistle Knot/Lanyard knot/Diamond Knot and put it on all your landyards. Make your own buttons and toggles with Crown knots.
Find nice fine cotton and braid yourself a turkshead bracelet, or better yet make one for you SO or family members. Don't size it too tight as it will shrink with daily wear.
Buy some 1/2" Manilla/Hemp cordage and work on reeving your own door mat, go from there. Working fresh coiled cord from the pack to something workable takes some time. After this you can work on model sailboats and getting the rigging just right.
I bought a book of knots and tied my shoelaces in all sorts of fancy ways.
