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

Thanks for the compliments about my recently finished diamond painting project.

@Gazza75 I tried to photograph my painting under lights, but I kept getting the shadow of my camera. 😵

I received the previously missing drills for my next painting today. Pleasing that they did as they said they'd do, so that reassuring for any future orders I put through them. Very excited to get started on my next project now. It is the Marilyn Munro painting for my Dad. Dad turns 87 in just over 4 weeks. So my aim is to give him this one for his birthday. Hope he makes it through to then though. He has been quite unwell the last week or more. And this week he suffered a mini-stroke according to his GP. Not unusual after a major stroke just on a year ago. Little they can do though, as he is already on blood thinners. Just a matter of keeping an eye on him I guess, and hope the mini-strokes dont build up into another major one. 😢 I sent a picture of my last project through to him via a mobile phone (not his) and he said he liked it. So now I will do his Marilyn, and hope he likes it too.

Has anybody else been doing any arts or crafts lately? How about you @Gazza75 ? Jigsaw puzzles perhaps @Shaz51 ? In between everything else you've had on your plate lately. 💕
