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 🙂

Hi @CheerBear @Maggie @Gazza75 @BronH @Sweet_cheeks and every crafty person here! I’ve been off the forums for awhile- studying, family stuff, MH stuff, etc, but I’m back and I used to love this thread. Thanks for putting it up @CheerBear !

Right now, I’m back crocheting a blanket- a big granny square one with different colours, - but I’ve also got some knitting on the go in the form of teddy bears and a cable scarf! I

did venture into Big W on Monday to get some colouring books and on Thursday, I picked up some cheap rock painting kits on clearance as well as a unicorn diamond dot thing that was cheap and I want to have a go at. I got the idea of rock painting from here so thanks everyone!

I really love your cross stitch @Maggie - is that a kit or your own design? I do cross stitch as well when I’m in the right headspace for it and would love to do a Heaven and Earth design chart- they’re massive with like 89 colours and over lots of A4 pages - and that’s a challenge but we’ll see! I also have an idea to do a free form cross stitch picture using black and other colours in a random shapes type thing.

Okay! Have fun crafting everyone and I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful craft works☺️ 🧶

@Judi9877 Welcome back. You sound very busy. So good to have craft therapy.

Yes this is a kit design cross stitch. I prefer free style and let it develop, but this caught my eye. It’s been on the go for a while as concentration gets difficult, and I’ve been side tracked by rock painting. Welcome to the dotting mania.

If you ever feel up to sharing a pic, we would all like to see some of what you are doing. No pressure though, only if you like to.
