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

Thes are the diamond paintings I wanted to try from Amazon, but, the postage is too expensive. Bit bummed about it as I really like underwater pics.

@Gazza75 They are lovely. Sorry about the postage.

Re: Craft Corner

@Maggie. Glad you like them. 🙂 How are you today?

I went to the shop and got a basic bee to try along with a slightly bigger butterfly one. Postage is over $20 on amazon about the same as each of the paintings ughgh. It's annoying when they say free postage for over $50, but, then they don't actual do it.

I love the bright colours. Pity about the postage.

I hope that you can find something similar.

Re: Craft Corner

I know @Gazza75 I just checked Wish, I only found some dolphins for $5, but the postage would be about $6 I think. Nothing like the ones you like.

I’m not doing well these last few days, but push on hoping the black dog doesn’t bite too hard.

How are you travelling?

Re: Craft Corner

@Maggie, thanks for having a look for Me. 🙂 I'm sorry you aren't doing so well the last few days. Happy to listen if you want to talk about it. 🙂

I'm travelling pretty good, work is feeling more and more diffucult. My neck and shoulders aren't improving much. In short I think age is catching up with my rather rapidly.

Have doctors appointment this arvo, talking to him about reducing my meds, I've already taken my own actions as he wants to go to slow. He's not worried about diabetes or heart problems. The side effects are doing more harm than good. I think I've been misdiagnosed.

@Former-Member, glad you like them. I like the bright colours to. My favourite pictures are where you have underwater and above the water in one. Be really cool to find one of those to do.

How are you? What are you getting up to today?
