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 😉
Thanks @Maggie Have a pile in the wardrobe. Just have to get one out to start. Don't know which one yet

Re: Craft Corner
Love all the crafty happening here 😍
@saturnzoon congrats on finishing a blanket! It looks great and very cuddly. I like putting borders on my blankets because I think they help keep their shape, but it looks great without one too. Well done 👍
Love the diamond painting @cutiepiekitty. How long did that take?
@Maggie this was my face seeing your latest dots 😮🤩 That is bonkers awesome! Looks like it would have taken a while too. So cool ❤
Not much craft happening here for me. I started a cross stitch and got as far as finishing the letters/words before realising I didn't have the right colour to add the rest (some flowers around the letters). I've also been working on a C2C crochet blanket for a christmas present but it's not something I'm really enjoying making so it's taking me a while to get to. Will keep chipping away though.
Love sharing the craft feels, even when I'm not making anything myself 😊

Re: Craft Corner
@CheerBear . Thanks so much. That is actually very simple and only took a few hrs, with drying overnight. I’ve found an excellent dotter online, Kristin Uhrig, worth having a look at her work if you get some time. Maybe picking up your dotting tools????💜💜💜

Re: Craft Corner
Thanks @CheerBear Took about 4-5 weeks. Would have been a lot quicker but too much going on and not able to concetrate on doing it
