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

Looking good there @Gazza75 ... nice and bright. We all need a bit of brightness in our day, after all.

I finished my latest diamond painting project yesterday! The Flowers one. I have run a rolling pin over it already, and have it under a couple of heavy books now. I will take a photo one day soon and post it here.

That's great that you have finished your flowers. I look forward to seeing it when you get the chance to share. Have you got another painting planned?

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @Bunniekins .. i've noticed I have been missing a few notifications as well. I'd say it's a fair chance you might be missing some from other people to.

Re: Craft Corner

@Gazza75 so it's not just me then I might have a grizzle to the @Former-Member about our missing notifications because I love hearing from my friends and seeing what they are all up to particularly in craft corner it was only by chance I thought I would have a look that I came across your post.

Re: Craft Corner

Hey there @Bunniekins, yes unfortunately we have had ongoing issues with the platform. Our tech team have been working in the background but it appears to be a trickier work around than anticipated. I know it is very frustrating, we will let you know if there's any improvements. Thank you for your patience, we can understand how disappointing it must be to miss a post.
