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 🙂

Hi @outlander @CheerBear @Maggie @mumto2 @Former-Member @CraftPoppy and other crafty friends! Thanks for the wonderful comments on my beanie- much appreciated ☺️! Here is another beanie I just finished this morning. I hope you like it!

I plan to get back into doing some cross stitching as I started a small kit from a magazine yesterday morning and I realised that I really missed it. That means it's a trip to Spotlight planned to get some cottons for another project or 2. I'll keep you all posted on how I go.

Re: Craft Corner

@Judi9877 Cross stitch is one craft I never could get the hang of. I don;t know what I do wrong but what I stitch never looks even vaguely like what its meant to

@CheerBear @mumto2 @Judi9877 @Former-Member @Former-Member and anyone passing.

The stone is a lot messy, but passable...maybe.

The canvas is ok.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @mumto2 I initially found cross-stitch hard and made an absolute mess of my first ever attempt - I was at uni when I was in my 20s and couldn't get the hang of the counting part of it. It wasn't until I picked up a magazine with a free kit a few years later that I tried again after taking the time to read the instructions properly and got it right. I've loved it ever since and I find that whilst I may make mistakes at times, I learn from it and it helps make me a better stitcher. Please give it another try! If you need help, please tag me and I may be able to give you some advice.

Re: Craft Corner

wow @Gazza75 ... that is really beautiful. Is this your latest creation? I posted a couple of my DPs a few weeks ago. About to start a new one as soon as I get a free moment.

That aside ... How wonderful to see you. Its been ages. How are you?
