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

, @Gazza75 That’s great. I love the colours. You must have a few finished now.

Thanks @outlander it’s a very simple Macramé bracket, you would have no trouble doing it.

@Former-Member Looking forward to seeing your crochet sometime.🧶

@Judi9877 Your crochet blanket is amazing. Have you seen @CheerBear blanket journey thread. Sounds like you might be doing the same kind of thing. I’m caught in a housing problem situation also, so feel for you, though I don’t know your circumstances.🧶🧶

Re: Craft Corner

I'm glad you like them @saturnzoon . They are pretty slow going, lots of time to think about things and friends here. These are my next two. The ship will probably take me a few months to complete. It's my biggest one so far 🙂

I really enjoy reading and watching all of the craft here as well 🙂

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @Maggie , that one had 41 colours in it which is the most I've had so far. I think I am up to number 8 so nearly into double figures! It feels like I've done more LOL 🙂
