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

@Gazza75 I started painting stones for that very reason, to give people a smile. So thank you, it warms my heart.

You can start using pins stuck in eraser pencils, toothpicks , the tips of pencils, that’s how I started, then eBay have cheap dotting tools. I’m teaching an 83 yr old lady atm, it’s contagious. Look forward to seeing yours when you do some.

@CheerBear Good to know you could smile even beirfly. I know it’s tough going for you atm. Thanks for liking them.

They can take a few hour s or a few days, depending on how many layers and drying time.
