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 I like the “ get through it list “.

You might find you introduce others to the art, be prepared!!!!!

I meet with an 86 yr old each sat pm. She told me four mths ago she had no creativity at all. I always love that kind of a challenge. She watched then asked if I would show her. Our meetings go like this...... what colours would you like to use ....a bit higher, to the left, no down a bit....yes!!!!!! It’s slow going, but sharing the joy of her finished stones and pride is quite a privilege. 😁😁

Saw this one facebook.

@CheerBear- I haven't done any more dots since last weekend. Hope to do something soon though. I think my post got taken down.

@Maggie

Re: Craft Corner

Sorry to hear your post did a disappearing act @Gazza75 . If it was taken down you should have received an email. Sometimes they can accidentally get pulled also. Looking forward to seeing your pic when it's up and hope you can get some time dotting soon if thats what you'd like to do 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear, no i forgot to mention I found it on facebook. It was a competition to guess the number of dots. I put that on my original post.
