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

I have recently started rag-rug weaving and it is a great hobby for in front of the telly or while listening to an audiobook or podcast. I only started after I had already given all my cottong sheets to the bushfire crafts for animal pouches, so my rug is not as pretty as I would like and I can't stop up on better fabric at the moment, but I definitely enjoy doing it, and I should have a nice big circle rug for my cold loungeroom floor (eventually!).

My only picture is from the day I went to the workshop to learn, so it is still very small here (mine is the blue and white one on the right)

I have now finished sealing my latest Diamond Painting ... this is a field of Poppies and Cornflowers.

Also not sure if I ever posted my completed previous Diamond Painting ... Irises?

As promised, I am tagging @Maggie @CheerBear @Sans911 ...

Possibly @Bunniekins @Octopoddie @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope may be interested too.

@Gazza75 are you still around? 🌼 I miss seeing all your latest projects. Hope you are okay.

Sherry 😊
