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

@Maggie .. the pic has arrived.

Although I love them both, I particularly love the big one. The edges are so dainty and delightful. And of course I like the Irish colours.

Beautiful, as I knew it would be. Hope to see something from you later too @CheerBear

😀👍💖

Re: Craft Corner

Thankyou @Former-Member . I too hope @CheerBear gives us a show and tell.

Any more diamond painting on the go at your place?

In response to: Re: Craft Corner

Re: Craft Corner

I do, but waiting on some replacement diamond drills. @Maggie . They sent a wrong colour with the set. Has to come from China .. so takes forever with all the restrictions and lack of flights etc. But its all complete bar one colour. Of course its a colour with over 2000 little drills. So still a bit to do when the replacements do arrive.

Re: Craft Corner

Oooh @Maggie! They're so beautiful 😍 They are so incredibly neat! Do you have a stencil for the twirly pattern? I tried and failed dismally without one. Also tried and failed at the little swipe stroke things.

Very impressive!

I've had an incredibly chill day playing with my stone (and practicing my patience 😉). I'm getting there. I tried something very colourful and busy and think it's looking kind of cool. Waiting for the paint to dry to finish some tiny dots then gloss it up. Wishing I had some resin but one day...

@Former-Member how annoying with needing to wait for replacement bits. I hope they come soon. Looking forward to seeing it when it comes.

Dusted off the knitting needles and plan on knitting this jumper for one of my niece's kids. (Sorry, photo from pattern book not the best).

Re: Craft Corner

@Maggie @Former-Member and any interested, here's my show and tell today. I'll varnish it tomorrow so it will be shiny then but here it is for now. I challenged myself to use toothpicks and skewers. I need practice but it was good to try.

And here's one I did recently. All metallic 😁

They are so much fun to play with and so calming to do (when they don't annoy the :pile_of_poo: out of me haha!)

@Former-Member very cool to pick up some knitting. I got myself very tangled trying knitting. That looks very tricky! Hope you enjoy making it.
