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'll wait for the picture to show up and get out the magnifier @Former-Member 🙂

You might just be a few drills short in that colour, i was one short in the planet one I did and also quite a few in the starry night. Its possible you placed a few in the wrong spot, but, I have the feeling you are rather careful and diligent with it.

Sounds like a very nice way to spend weekends with your sister and enjoying the outdoors. I was blown away by the night sky when I got my farm, so much more to see than in most places.

I enjoy all of the football codes, but, less so league since my brothers injury. I played soccer my whole life, but, never really followed it besides my 'local' team which won the last 2 NSL comps, but, weren't good enough to be included in the A-league.

Wow, the Jets!! Don't bump into too many people that supported them. 🙂 The doggies have had some good teams over the years. I used to go for Parra and they were very good rivals. I really liked Stewart, Brad Cylde and Chicca F from the old raiders team. I was never a big fan of Meninga and thought him a little over rated. Not sure how he got away with playing with his arm so heavily protected for all those years. The ABC did a 'phantom call' where some of the old teams played each other, it was fun hearing the old raiders team. From 1-17 team there weren't any weak links + they had a pretty solid darn coach.

I won't be too far away from the ship, i have a feeling it will end up in the room where I do most of my painting anwyay 😉

I think Marilyn would be fine in one of those tubes you can get, but, I do understand it would be nicer to give it to him in person. You will figure it out 🙂

She's looking great @Former-Member, I can't see any bits that look out of place.

Re: Craft Corner

Okay thanks @Gazza75 👍

When I say I have misplaced 4 drills, I base that on how many drills of each colour is actually needed. My kit included a checklist of each drill code and the actual number of drills needed. Got heaps of spares though. I started with a few of the drills where there are only small numbers needed, like under 100. So I counted them as I went. It reassured me I had them all. Obviously I didnt do that with larger numbers. But this second last colour I know how many were meant to be used, and akso how many I placed. Sadly .. 4 less placed. I think its likely another similar coloured drill with near same code. Argh! But the good thing is that its most likely not obvious. Just annoying to me.

Anyway .. Just hard yakka now .. the bulk black background. Will just plug away at it when I have the time.

Heading out now. Catch you later.

Re: Craft Corner

This is my finished soft toy. The process of making it was much more challenging than I thought to put it all together and it's come out a bit lop-sided. I'm choosing to love it regardless. My neice is coming over from Perth this weekend with Thomas Charles the new baby. I'll give it to her then.

Thought I had posted 1 of these 2, but, looks like it was my imagination. The book is really nice, however, my photo is not. They were both fun and quick to do.

Re: Craft Corner

Very nice @Gazza75 .. you are so clever with this stuff. I finished my Marilyn this evening. Want'a see? Like you, I am not happy with the photograph, but I am happy enough with the completed Marilyn. I expect you'd be heading off to the farm by now. Enjoy your weekend.

@Maggie @CheerBear @outlander @Shaz51 ... @BronH I think your soft toy looks gorgeous .. well done.

Sherry 😊
