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

Not quite as cool as unicorn socks @outlander, though that does make me wonder what kinds of unicorn socks could be made .... 😁 It's a yarn called unicorn yarn, probably for the colours. I think @Phoenix_Rising and I decided that unicorn yarn is maybe made from the fleece of unicorns though haha!

Have you been working on any art or craft at the moment?

Re: Craft Corner

Oh my goodness @CheerBear they are lovely, just lovely and go with the beanie so well too. the colour pooling is interesting on differently sized things isn't it. It's a really lovley yarn! I do enjoy multi coloured yarns myself - quite the sucker for them at times!

You puzzle looks interesting and quite difficult too, a good distraction. I must take some images myself. golly your furball is a cheeky thing! No telling what they'll take a liking to running off with is there!

Thank you CheerBear, @outlander @OhanaSystem for your kind wishes, the mega anti biotics have gotten control of the infection this time and I'm a whole lot better today, thank goodness. Narrowly avoided a hospital stay, which would have been soooo much worse. Anyway today is a better day, and I hope a much nicer one for everyone else too.

Those socks in the third pic are really something CheerBear. Gosh so bright and happy. Oh my, so smiley.

Here's to a day of solace and self care, hopefully for us all.

Re: Craft Corner

Thank you @outlander, you're very kind. I think it was my reaction to the suggestion of hospital that was teh deciding factor! I hurt my hand today, made me think of you and yours (which I hope is getting better) so not too much crafting going to be done. Started a new thread --------->, feel welcome to join in, didn't tag anyone as not sure who might be interested.

I did get my parcel of new tatting shuttles in today so that's really cool, now I have working bobbin shuttles again.

Crafting goodness to all who pass by.
