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 🙂

Not too bad @Shaz51 I tested positive for covid yesterday so feeling a little worse for wear atm. I've clocked up my four covid jabs so hoping I'll come good soon. Meanwhile isolation in my little box room is interesting 🤔

Hope you are fit & well 🤗

Re: Craft Corner

@Shaz51 and @Judi9877 I taught myself how to crochet! No photos yet, but I'm so proud!

I've been knitting for a while and I just couldn't make heads or tails of crocheting. I couldn't figure it out no matter how many videos I watched or instructions I read.

But finally, on the last weekend, it just CLICKED! I was so frustrated at myself for not understanding it even though I was trying so hard. And now all I want to do is crochet

It was this video that really did helped.

Anyway, how are you both? ❤️

Re: Craft Corner

Hi all,

I love that there is a space like this, I am sort of a jack of all trades when it comes to craft, I sew, knit, crochet, loom knit, embroider, long stitch, short stitch, cross stitch, write novels and poetry, resin crafts, colour in, pattern draw, polymer clay jewellery, void painting (might not be actual name), origami, watercolour painting, diamond dot painting, lego painting and beading. I'm also currently looking at starting wire art or mosaics or both.

But I love to see what others do and I might in the future post pictures of my works

Re: Craft Corner

@Twilightsomniac Wow you are one very busy person! Never a dull moment? I guess craft has been my therapy over many years ; a chance to deflect my attention from bothersome things albeit for short periods. Now I sew, crochet, knit and do other things because of the pleasure it gives me to create and achieve. It’s a wonderful way of life really 😊
