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 🙂

Hmm. Not getting notifications.

@outlander

I made one similar to yours years ago. In blue and white wool.

I threw it out in a big clean up. Ugh. Regret it now. Took me ages to crochet it.

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @Maggie I wasn't heading anywhere really- I must have been tagged- but I am not getting all my notifications- so I am getting a bit mixed up & I hadn't come across this place before- I am still finding navigating this place tricky- thanks for the clarification- maybe I'll stop by again- if I can figure out how lol 😂

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear I love to do art - although I have not for some time due to a neck injury-
If I could figure out how to post a pic I could put some up- but not sure how?
My daughter is an amazing artist- she is really advanced for 8 years in her sketches self taught- what crafts do you enjoy?
