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

It's so beautiful @Gazza75! I'd love to be able to do something like that.

My guess would be a lot of dots haha! I can't imagine counting them all to run a comp like that!

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear, I think its just a 'bigger' version of what you have been doing. It won't be long before you are doing stuff just like it. 🙂

I agree, it would be one heck of a job counting them all LOL 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

I don't think I could ever do brush strokes like that @Gazza75. I feel very awkward with a brush in my hand. It's like I'm using my non-dominant hand whenever I go near one.

I'd get lost counting after 50 I reckon 😆

Better fly and pick up the kids. Would love to catch up with you properly sometime. I feel like we bump into each other a bit but I don't know much about you and your story/stories (not that I need to know but more that I'm interested in hearing if you are interested in sharing). Hope your afternoon goes well 🙂

I am still doing my hexagon 6 of each colour for my blanket

Sorry I 've tried to send a picture of some of my hexagon colours I've done but the photo thing on here keeps telling me my image is to big and I've spent 30minutes now trying to reduce it but don't know how.

Re: Craft Corner

Hey @saturnzoon. How much have you got left of your blanket? It looked like a big one in the photo.

I have similar trouble with photos from my phone being too large. To get around it I take a screenshot (then crop out the time etc- but you don't need to do that) which must reduce the size of them as I don't have issues uploading if I do that. Might be worth a try if you'd like 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear @Gazza75 And anyone who might be interested. I received my new dotting tools today. They are sizes 1-16 and really are easy to use. I will insert a pic.

Re: Craft Corner

@Maggie, they look very cool! Look forward to some new designs from you soon 🙂

In response to: Re: Craft Corner

Re: Craft Corner

They are seriously cool @Maggie and look so fun. Is that 1 - 16mm?

Have you used them yet?
