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 🙂

That looks like heaps of fun @Maggie (and a new use for dotting tools too!). Thanks for sharing!

Love your other one too. Will you put them on a chain?

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @Zoe7 @Shaz51 really appreciate your posts. 💙💙💙

@CheerBear I’m not going to get chains as they will be for another fundraiser. Some don’t like chains, so just a waste of money.

Hows you new project going??💜❤️💜💛💛

Re: Craft Corner

Just watched the video @Maggie I think I might have to try some of those myself, Would be good to keep up my sleeve for the older grades if I get to teach Art later this year also ...you have inspired me

Re: Craft Corner

What a cool idea for a fundraiser @Maggie . So good of you to be doing another too ❤

Here's part 1 of my project. I haven't done any for a couple of days as I've been busy but it's off to a start at least. It will be rainbow (probably)

Oh golly gosh @CheerBear , that’s amazing. I really love it. Looks complicated. 😍😍😍

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @Maggie 🙂 It's not as complicated as it may seem. Just changing 2 colours each round. Definitely needs some concentration though. I might chip away some more if I have a chance today 🙂

Yes @Zoe7 I think I will! I love craft and art! Only one project at the moment - a colour by numbers watercolour canvas. It's slow .. but fun and relaxing

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear I’ve finished, but really disappointed with the end product. I mixed tiles and broken chine. They are not the same thickness, and some don’t rest straight. The gaps are too wide. They didn’t look that wide before the grout. Sigh. Put it down to experience. 🤨🤨🤨
