Craft Corner

Craft Corner

A place to chat and share all things crafty!

What's your favourite craft? Is there anything you're working on at the moment? What would you like to create/work on (I have heaps of "one day" project patterns and ideas that I know I will probably never get around to, but it's nice to imagine)? I'd love to hear!

I have absolutely no artistic side to me and stick figures are the extent of my drawing ability, but I really enjoy learning and trying out new crafts. I learnt crochet during a stay in a prevention and recovery centre and it's something I pick up often when I am feeling blue, I need a distraction or I'm just a little bored. I've tried paper crafts too, although I didn't really get far with anything. Sharpies are some of my best friends and when I find my hands need to move I have a collection of smooth rocks that I draw on (different coloured circles) which often relaxes me. Sometimes I dust off the sewing machine and sew as well. I walk around spotlight for a fun outing 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all 🙂

Hey @outlander and all

I caught a post of yours on a wander around the forum, that said you were thinking of one day making some crocheted creations for charity which is awesome 😊 There's a really great website called Craft Ministry Australia which lists heaps of places you can donate hand made creations for charities and what each one is in need of. Some ask for really simple blankets for animal shelters etc (single crochet would do it!), some more complicated wearables or specific things. I thought I'd link it in case you were interested in checking it out some time.

Hope you are enjoying your new hobby! ❤
