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

Hi @saturnzoon I do diamond painting too, have been since last Christmas. I find it can help to relax and focus the mind, and often do it with music on. I am doing a wolf in snow at the moment that I hope to finish maybe tomorrow (depends on the day I have). I look at it as like a type of mosaic

Re: Craft Corner

I have some diamond paintings I bought on special that I haven’t started yet ..... I bought them hoping that my D2 (daughter no. 2) who has significant physical and intellectual disabilities could do them with a little support, but things have been a bit too hectic to pull them out and give them a go.....

Thanks for the reminder @cutiepiekitty ......

They might be just the thing for you to do together @Faith-and-Hope. They don't have to be perfect, especially the ones with round bits which seem to be the more common ones. I. Am newbie so not sure on that.
