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

@Jupiter I think I need to practice a bit more before I think about selling them. I need to learn to put them together a bit better to make them child safe. Don't want some kid swallowing a giraffe ear or something! 😆

Re: Craft Corner

@Phoenix_Rising This is the first chance I've had to respond to your Gerald - apologies for the delay - emergency health care (stomach infection that went critical) got in the way and even cancelled out the apnoea testing for last night too. I'm able to walk today so that is a good thing.

Your Gerald is priceless. You have gained such excellent skill in a very short time, well done you. I can see that @CheerBear will have a co conspirator in her efforts to amigurumi take over the world now!

You did so well with the placement of the facial features he has such a sweet face. Massive congratulations on a job well done.

@CheerBear I found the Sophie info and to where the patterns are thanks to your instructions - but I can't get just a printable pattern, it's soooo soooo detailed with images and notes and stuffs (which is good, but ... ) and besides I'm too ill to be able to make sense of anything right now.

I think I will have to shelve the Sophie-a-long just now, but I will seriously consider it again after this infection is under control.

I may end up using the Rings of Change for a mandala vest if you'd be okay with me doing that instead.

Re: Craft Corner

@Former-Member it's so nice to see you ☺ I have been wondering how you're doing. I am sorry to hear you've been unwell like you have. Far out that doesn't sound good at all.

Shelving Sophie-along sounds like a sensible idea. I have a feeling I'll be Sophie-ing for quite a while (mandala madness took six months plus each!). I'd love to see Rings of Change as a mandala vest

❤

Re: Craft Corner

Good morning everyone ☺

@Shaz51 how's that puzzle going? I was vacuuming this morning and remembered to take a photo of ours for you when I saw it rolled up in its mat.

If I can find a way of stopping a furball with a puzzle piece obssession from stealing them, maybe we can actually get back into it 😆

Hope you're going ok enough @Former-Member. I finished one unicorn yarn sock/slipper but want to wait to check the fit before I made the second. The colour pooling meant it has two completely different sides which I think is pretty cool.

They'll match a beanie I made a while ago as they're made from the leftover yarn from it.

Hope the day ahead is a good enough one for all ☺
