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

Hey, guess what? Finally got phone and internet service back on this arvo, after being without during the bushfire emergency. Fire conditions have eased today thankfully, permitting some catchup sleep during the day.

Oh dear .. unsure where to start with my near 100 notifications on Sane. Need to start to work my way through.

But where better to start than here on the craft thread?

Really like your light from the weekend @Gazza75 ... Dots galore! I think Maggie and Cheerbear will love this one too.

I have started a new diamond painting on the weekend. Its a 30x40 size, using square drills, and has 50 different colours. 😯 Its a flower pic in colours I love, and one I am quite excited to be working on.

Hi @CheerBear @Maggie @cutiepiekitty @Bunniekins @Shaz51

Re: Craft Corner

Hey @Former-Member ,

Really glad that the fires have eased in your area and that you are back online. I'm very happy with how the light come out, its fun working on smaller project and I'd encourage you to try a 'special drill' one at some point.

I'm stoked you have a new painting to work on, it sounds really good with all those colours. That's a good size to work on, I think it's about the sweet spot for square DP's, not to big and not too small. I look forward to seeing progress or when its finished if you can share it with us.

@Judi9877- Hi Judi, just letting you know I have some clay on the way and I hope to do some experimenting with it in the next few weeks , probably over christmas. I'm a little nervous about baking it .. i hope to put it over plastic pens. At least if your doing your needles they will be less prone to melting! lol 🙂 Hope you are well and have a good day 🙂
