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 😉

Re: Craft Corner
I don’t understand @Former-Member What sort of notifications have upset you?

Re: Craft Corner
I had done that, but it didnt' seem to stop it - maybe it just takes time to filter through - have emailed the Team too. Or maybe people now understand over there and have stopped 'likiing' my request to not tag me. It seems to have stopped now and the notifications are farther down the page, so that is working. Thank you, I just can't stop the shaking and the tears yet though.

Re: Craft Corner
Thank you for asking @Catcakes being tagged and notified in the easter thread. It seems to be under control now.

Re: Craft Corner
Morning @Former-Member and all.
I have thought of the word drool when I've looked at Sunkissed and Cotton 8! You have great taste in yarn 😆 Can't wait to get into it and share the Sophie love as she grows. I have a green and yellow for flower leaves and centres, a red and orange for brightness, shades of blues, purples and pinks for the main colours, and I am planning on using a grey/white to kind of offset all the bright (though I'm not so sure about this and won't be until I see the yarn). Do you feel like joining in with some Sophie's Universe CAL?! 😁
Thinking of you this morning SunShower. I read that you wouldn't be around much/at all today but I wanted to send you a crafty (hopefully) feel-good notification. Hope there is gentle and ok enough in your day today ❤

Re: Craft Corner
I love cardmaking, and I'd love to learn how to knit. I tried years ago, but wasn't very good. Hopefully my mum can teach me again!
