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 🙂

Wow @outlander you are doing well.

How do you set up a business online, only if it doesn’t identify you, and if you want to share. ?

Thanks for liking the letters. 💙💙

Re: Craft Corner

do you have facebook? @Maggie

for mine all I did was create a facebook page and I advertise my premade items, new creations (ie different products I have available) and also advertise that I can make to order. ive had a few people enquire within my page asking if I can make different things in crochet version like the wine glass holders and beanies as well that I hadn't thought of in their chosen colours.
for you you might choose to just make your own pieces and not change them for anyone or you might give them the option of picking ie asking for a Letter to be made in a specific colour theme .

Re: Craft Corner

That's great @outlander!

I've been working on not giving away my children 😉😆 Obviously kidding but, no I haven't been doing any of my crafty stuff as it's a bit less fun without quiet chill time here. There's lots of kid craft stuff though (they are going bananas with slime making as we speak) and Nintendo has a chunk of my/our spare time at the moment 😊

Re: Craft Corner

haha @CheerBear I think lots of people are in the same boat with their kids!
im glad your kids are amused though, makes things abit easier when they aren't wondering around saying they are bored.

Re: Craft Corner

its nerve wracking @Maggie but I have faith in you if you were to do it. its also an exciting nervous energy. each customer that enquires often gives an exciting buzz (but also that 'oh my gosh ive got to get it perfect!" feeling 😏
