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 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

lol! cheerbear

yep im pretty sure i want to do the reverse shells for this one, it was the first one that come to mind and has stuck with me so i think its a sign i should do that one.

yeah thats what im thinking, i dont want to end and theres quite alot of purple more so than what 2 rounds migtve been.

maybe i could make a granny square (obviously not to small soi can establish that pattern properly) in just purple and white and try both out and see which one might look better?

i am so close to finishing now!

Re: Craft Corner

So great to hear you finished a blanket @BlueBay! That's a lovely gift 💗

I think it's a great idea to sell them and a really reasonable price too! Hope they go well!

Can't wait to see @BlueBay!

You're dedicated @outlander! I'd probably just give it a go and undo it if I didn't like it. Yay for being so close to finishing! That's a super exciting stage to be at with a big project. Woohoo!

Oh @BlueBay it is beautiful! That fabric 😍! I can imagine how soft it would be! Great idea to sell them. I'd definitely buy one if I had a tiny person and saw them!

Re: Craft Corner

lol @CheerBear ive been using the magic knot since its gotten larger, when i was sewing the ends in they kept popping out and was worried it was going to come undone. im not sure why they were coming undone though so i just went onto the knot.

im a little picky when it comes to the things i make, after making my aunts blanket i wish i hadve made the border wider so im trying to pciture what it might look like both ways but im not having much luck so if i whip up 2 smaller granny sqaures then at least i might have an idea...
