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 🙂

That pic should be up now - and wow, what amazing work @Gazza75 ! @Maggie your bracelet looks lovely too.

Always so impressed by the amazing work that everyone posts in here, craft is such a theraputic thing sometimes - do you find that? I love to crochet! Loving the encouragement that happens in this thread too 🧵

Re: Craft Corner

Hello @CheerBear @Gazza75 @Former-Member @outlander @Bunniekins @Former-Member @Maggie and every crafty person here! I’m sorry I haven’t been visiting recently- too busy with housing inspections. Long story and don’t really want to go into it right now. All I’ll say is it’s been very stressful so I’m very lucky for my iPods and my craft hobbies! I’ve included a photo of my current crochet blanket that I’ve been working on which has been a real comfort to me during this period. It’s on 4.25mm crochet hook and is a basic granny square blanket. I plan to add blue, red and purple to it- I just crochet all the balls of yarn out til I reach the end and then move onto the next colour. I was planning on giving it away to charity but this blanket has become special to me so I’m going to keep it. I hope you like it.

I started out with Moroon colour and then it’s changed to white and yellow and now orange so far in case all the colours didn’t show up properly!

I love all the crafty things that have been posted recently- dot paintings on rocks, diamond dots and everything. Well done and keep it up!

Re: Craft Corner

It looks really nice @Judi9877 , sorry I forgot to tag you in my earlier post, I knew i'd miss someone! I'm glad you are keeping the blanket for yourself. It looks like its getting fairly big so you must have been working hard on it. I really like the colours. 🙂

I hope you and your flatmate can secure a place soon, fingers crossed bigtime. Lovely to hear from you and see the progress of your crafting 🙂

Take care
