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

I think joining the squares is a great idea @outlander. You could make a cat blanket and then buy a cat - that's like a double win that way 😆 A lap blanket without the cat is cool too though 😉😊

Looking forward to seeing your pic later @cutiepiekitty. It's great when you start to see a project getting close to complete and you're happy with it! 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

Sewing is the one I found the easiest and quickest I think @outlander 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

im not a sewing person so I don't know much about that one either 😏 I guess it would be like joining the sides of a pillow cover though wouldn't it @CheerBear

Re: Craft Corner

I'm not a sewing person either @outlander. This isn't really sewing as much as it is stitching maybe.
