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 🙂

Yes @CheerBear natural stones.

I haven got the patch up hole stuff yet. If counsellor is up to a Bunnings trip on Friday, I’ll get it then, I have found another mandala artist. She paints on different surfaces. Miranda Pitrone. You might enjoy a look.

Thanks for liking these @CheerBear . They look a bit better today, yesterday I thought they were weird. 😜😜

Re: Craft Corner

Hey @Maggie ... I love your latest creation. Delicate, precise, colourful, cheerful, creative. Well done.

I finished another Diamond Painting project during my week and a half off the forums.

This one is my "Walking by the Lake on a rainy evening" picture. Hope some of you like it. It took ages to do. As usual with these things, the picture doesnt do it justice. I am actually really happy with it 'live', but it loses a lot on photo. Not sure what I will do with this one. I didnt have anyone in mind when I did it. Perhaps this one I will keep for me? Will wait and see.

Anyway ... here it is. @Maggie @CheerBear @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Sans911 @Bunniekins @Former-Member @Gazza75 (if you drop by) @Shaz51 @NatureLover (are you a crafty person?) @Former-Member @Judi9877 (big congrats on your new Guide role) @outlander (have you had time to do your DP cat yet, or are you too busy with your business these days?) and anyone else browsing.

Re: Craft Corner

Waiting for image @Former-Member @ I've done a lot of mending, and crochet anzac poppies (which I'm adapting to attach to quilt and maybe send in cards). I like needlework. Those diamond paintings sound interesting 💙🌿

Re: Craft Corner

Yes I gathered you were a dab hand at sewing @Former-Member , you have mentioned a few things you've created in the past. Perhaps you could post a few of your creations here for us to admire? Did you see the other DPs I posted here a page or two back? The latest 3 are 30cm x 40cm in size, so there is a lot of work in making them. But mostly I have been quite happy with the results. Most of the ones I have done I have given away as gifts ... Christmas, Birthdays and Thankyous. They are generally well received, which is nice.

Hi @Former-Member @CheerBear @Maggie @Former-Member @Former-Member @outlander and all crafty friends here! Long time no visit for me- sorry! I love all of the things you have been creating and doing everyone- keep it up!
As for me, I've got several knitting projects in the go at the moment, including a colourful blanket I started when the libraries shut here in March, a kids jumper for charity that's got the front, sleeves and neck to do, a blanket for my housemate, a new 4 squares blanket that I decided to start a few weeks ago- 6 squares down out of at least 64 to do! - and finally, I've decided to knit myself a jumper at long last, again, barely started and something that I haven't done in a long time! I've also got several crochet blankets in various states on the go as well. Add to this, cross stitching is also in the mix but I have trouble with starting things but not finishing them with this craft at the moment. I'll post pictures of some of my projects shortly. It's like I've decided to use up lots of my wool stash for various projects but get bored very easily!
Have a great day crafting friends!

Re: Craft Corner

I'm gonna be a Nanna later this year, so I bought some wool online this week and going to make a start on bunny-rugs.
