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 🙂

@CheerBear that is beautiful, the colours are amazing, you are so talented.

Hi @outlander @Gazza75 @Maggie @Zoe7 , I'm making a hexagon blanket for my sons bed I'm still a beginner sort off and when I saw one of those blankets, my son said he would like one. So I've looked for different patterns and am really winging it and I haven't figured out how to do a boarder yet as I want it to be square border, this is what I have done so far, I'm not good with choosing colours and have trouble sorting out what would look good together.

I don't know how to rotate pictures on here so had to do it longways

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @outlander 🙂 Have you had a go at one during any of your arty/crafty adventures?

I spent my morning doing some crafty stuff at the school helping make some props for the kids' concert. Lots of tulle and lots and lots of fiddly annoyingness. I was busting to get home and have another go at some dots but decided to go for a rock hunt instead. I went to a garden centre that sells huge truck loads of rocks and stones. I told them I was after some for painting, but not a whole truck load lol, and they were so nice. They let me wander around and take a few 'sampler'. So glad I asked @Maggie 😊

Re: Craft Corner

@saturnzoon, blanket looks great! Not sure you need a border on it 🙂 The colours look awesome to Me and I'm sure your son will love it. I bet it will be nice and warm to. Thanks for sharing with us.
