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 🙂

I spent nearly all day put this up on my lounge wall! They are from Wish. The butterflies I had for a few years so I added it to it.

Re: Craft Corner.Number 4 attempt

Wow @Maggie

It is absolutely beautiful 💙

Blue is my favourite colour. Do you sell these, you should! Just stunning. I would like to try but mine would look more like an infant had painted it.

Re: Craft Corner.Number 4 attempt

@Anastasia Thankyou. You are so encouraging.💜💜

I do sell them. They raise funds for my favourite charity.

There is a demo showing how to start earlier in this thread. I will check out the page and let you know where it is.

Its not as difficult as it looks, it’s just practice and patience. It actually gives my mind a rest from the internet critic.

Thank you,

I think I will try this after my diamond painting obsession has worn off a bit. Lovely Christmas presents x
