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

@Maggie Your rocks are magnificent. Have you always painted rocks or when did you get started?

Re: Craft Corner

YouTube is a great place to learn crafty skills. You mentioned that you leave them around the city, do you ever know if anyone finds them @Maggie? We've heard of websites where you can log where rocks have been found and wondered if you also participate in that?

Re: Craft Corner

Love them @Maggie! They're so detailed. I love the idea of something that looks so delicate being painted on to something as bold and strong as a rock.

How long do they take you to do?

Thanks for sharing them with us. They gave me a big smile to see tonight.
