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

@CheerBear those Harry Potter blanket are amazing, I love the looks of the C2C, I know what you mean by the number of threads you need, that's the thing that puts me off trying one as my patience isn't very good and I would confuse myself to much, maybe if I come across one that only has a couple of colors I might try it.

@BlueBay all your blankets, scrunchies and others look so nice and warm, it must be nice to have your daughter help you, unfortunately my daughter moved to Newcastle and im in Adelaide so I miss her heaps.

@Ali11 @Hope4me @outlander @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Owlunar hope you are all doing well

Re: Craft Corner

Amazing @outlander! Those buttons look really challenging.

Re: Craft Corner

I missed this yesterday @outlander. It looks great! It reminds me a bit of a "quillow" which has me thinking about what could be crocheted like that 🤔 What is it stuffed with? I love that stitch 😍

Re: Craft Corner

thanks @Ali11 it wasnt to bad really. it was the only buttons i could find so they will have to do!

thanks @CheerBear
its actually a little pillow on the inside.
what is a quillow?

In response to: Re: Craft Corner

Re: Craft Corner

Thought it may be a little pillow inside - very clever @outlander 😊

A quillow is a quilt that folds into a pillow. They're pretty cool. @BlueBay you might be interested in these for your A or your online store?

(I'll add an image below)

Re: Craft Corner

Tricky to show in a pic but here's the idea. It's a blanket with a pocket that the blanket can be folded into to make it a pillow 🙂
