Yeah I had grandparents too. Going to market for 4 hours is a work. I have good time working fairly often too and it is still work. I went to business trips, we chatted and had good time and it was work.
Decorating cloth is work. It just is and was. Nor something you can avoid and something you are judged on. I listen to music when coding and to podcast when doing repetitive work. Does not make it not work.
You know why we girls don't don't anymore? Because it is boring repetitive chore to large majority of us. And I actually did some embroidery - it is cool in small amounts. Emphasis on small.
And it was not all relaxing either. You are talking about period with huge pressures, periods of lack of food due to wars.
In generation in between, there are people who cant relax. They feel guilty and will badge you if you dare to sit and rest.
