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 read that lovely news elsewhere a week or two ago @Faith-and-Hope 😀👼💗👍 but never said anything coz you said it was ssshhhhh secret. 😇

But ... if the cat is now out of the bag (so to speak) .... yay .. happy days Grandma to be. Due date? What a lucky child they will be to have you as their nanna. 💗💗👶

Will you be known as nanna? My grandkids call me Grandma Sherry. They have several sets of grandparents due to blended familys etc.

It definitely gives you a perfect excuse to get productive with the wool.

Re: Craft Corner

itll be a good accomplishment as you finish each one of those projects your working on @Judi9877
yarn destashing is always good!
I get very bored quite quickly too so I tend to make different smaller things in between larger projects too

Re: Craft Corner

Yes, the news has come out now @Former-Member ..... not sure of my nanna-name yet (lol) but I think my kids might have clear ideas about what they would like it to be.
Due date is in October.

Re: Craft Corner

That's great news @Faith-and-Hope, wow, life has a way of moving forward anyway.

i find repetativ hand-to-task projects very therapeutic. Winters the time for knitting. Bunny rugs is about all I'd manage though, or maybe little squares joined together lol. Don't feel so guilty watching tv, if I'm doing something. Keep us up thto stspeed with it all..
