Morning crafty people ❤

@Gazza75 that owl is awesome!!! Definitely my favourite diamond pic I've seen so far. Looks big and tricky though.

The video link you sent was great and super helpful thanks. I enjoyed watching it. You can sense her enthusiasm through the video which was almost catchy enough to have me try it! I also went to Spotlight and bought Middle a little painting. It's a pack of three magnets and was on clearance (always a fan of that). And I spent about 2 mins in the store and didn't pick up anything else - yay me haha!

@outlander your squares look great! Love, love, love those colours together and can see how beautiful it will look once it's finished. Do you make one who square at a time or do you make a bunch of the centres, then add the middles etc.?

I managed to fly through my Sophie centre take two and have almost finished it. Just have the overlay petals to put on. I'm much happier with the colours of this one. I'll put up a pic when I'm done 🙂

Happy crafting to all who might be doing some today ❤

Hi @CheerBear @outlander @Gazza75 @Maggie  I’ve been really lazy. So many things I could be doing. I just don’t have the positive motivation at the moment. 

The squares I crocheted ages ago is still not complete. I’ve got heaps of material to sew bsby blankets too. 

And heaps of wool. 

I feel pretty useless when I see all your beautiful things you are all making. 

[Maggie]

@BlueBay  Would it help to try something easy that you would like to do? I often don’t have the motivation either, but pick up a bit, stitch by stitch. I understand it might also be stressful though. Would you feel ok about sharing something you’ve done in the past? No pressure at all though. You certainly are not useless @BlueBay  💜💕💜💕

I don’t think I’m in a good headspace at the moment @Maggie 

I’ve put some photos of bsby blankets I’ve sewn. I’ll see if I can find one for you

[Maggie]

Oh @BlueBay  They are beautiful.😍😍😍 I understand not being in the right head space. Your walking is such a good ‘ creative ‘ activity. We can only do what we can. 💜💕💜

your blankets are really lovely @BlueBay

I tend to make a few centres, then round 2 on them all , then round 3 etc @CheerBear it seems to go quicker that way and I don't have to change yarns so much just the square im working on atm. I have 4 I started abit earlier but only got to round 2 on them. once ive done these 4 ill have 24 in total. I think ill aim for 30, lay them out and see what I think. I think ill be doing more though...
Nice to hear you've been working on yours too and your happy with the new colours now.

Morning all 👋❤

Hugs @BlueBay. Sorry you have the useless feels 🙁 I don't think of you as lazy at all, but I get how it can feel like that sometimes. Your blankets are so lovely. They look so cuddly 💜

Sounds like a good idea with working on a few at once @outlander 🙂

Hey @Shaz51. Nice to 'see you' 💗

[CheerBear]

Sharing this one. It's the re-done Sophie centre (tagging you @Maggie, @Gazza75 and@outlander). I'm happier with this being the centre flower and hopefully it will motivate me to actually finish a Sophie 🤔 I'm getting sooo stuck with working out what colours to use though. I'm way too indecisive and it's taking a bit of the joy away from it at the moment 😏 Its a start at least.

I also had three diamond painters yesterday 😁 They loved it, Big particularly who has already asked for a big one for a December gift 🙂
