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 🙂

@OhanaSystem

have you tried teaching yourself anything off of youtube?

In response to: Re: Craft Corner

Re: Craft Corner

yes i have, @Bella1978. unfortunately my brain doesn't work right for that to be something that works out for me! it's very frustrating sometimes. i can, with a looooot of pausing, follow basic painting tutorials but that's as far as i go. i even get lost watching tutorials on how to do things i already know how to do! lol

Re: Craft Corner

hehe @OhanaSystem .. i am very familiar with the pause button too haha ... i have to watch a video a few times to get the hang of it, and then i will watch other videos to see how other people do the same thing ... gotta cover all bases lol

progress pic on candle holder. so pleased with myself - i started this candle holder a couple of years ago and had just left it ... picked it up last night and have now finished gluing all of the coloured glass on it. will leave it to set for at least a couple of days to make sure the glue is all dry (that's the white stuff you can see), and then time to grout ... will keep you posted! 🙂 x
