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

Hi all haven't been around for about a week as MH played up pretty bad, but feeling a bit better now.

@Shaz51 @CheerBear @outlander @Judi9877

@Maggie yours is so colourful, what did you use and how you did that,I wouldlike to try it

@Former-Member your Marylin picture looks great

@Gazza75 Love your pictures, I think your owl is amazing

@BronH I love your teddy your niece will love it.

I finished doing a baby blanket for my sons baby, even though I still haven't been allowed to see him, he did say that I can see him before Christmas one day, so that's been part of my breakdown over the last week or so. Anyway I'm going to put it on here and could you all let me know if its ok for a baby boy and do you think i need a border around it.

All suggestion would be great please guys.Is this ok for a baby boy, does it need a border

Thankyou friends

Re: Craft Corner

@saturnzoon Your blanket is beautiful.😍😍

A simple demo that might help you get started. Once the first layer dries, you can double dot, and triple.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @saturnzoon ... can I just start by saying how lovely it is to see you again. 😊 Glad to hear things are on the improve for you.

Now your baby blanket. Love it! 💖 Colours are definitely okay for a boy baby ... equally so for a girl for that matter. All colours in it are gender neutral I believe.

Personally ... and this is just my opinion ... I would add a border to it. I'm not sure what colour to suggest though. Perhaps a bronze/gold type colour would go nicely?
