Re: Craft Corner

Wow @CheerBear  loooove it. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I do understand the colour thing though, 

Shades can change the who,e look of something.

Yey to the diamond painters. 😁😁✔️✔️✔️

Re: Craft Corner

That pic came up super quickly thanks to whichever mod is behind that 🙂

Thanks @Maggie 😊 I'm tempted to do a white blanket with the flowers all being only the colours above (in the centre flower). But I love the colour mash when lots of colours mix together too. Decisions decisions haha.

The diamond painters are heaps of fun. I was so surprised Little got in on it. I think they really liked the focus it took, plus they felt very grown up writing colour codes on tiny bags and having proper craft tools etc. 😉😊

Re: Craft Corner

It is a big decision @CheerBear because wool is expensive, and $$$$$ Are few. It will be very beautiful, whatever choice you make. No doubt there. 💕💜💕

Big smile to the diamond painting crew, with grown up feels. 😁😁😁✔️✔️✔️

Re: Craft Corner

Love it @CheerBear  you’re so talented. Love the colours. This is a silly question - what is diamond painting?

 

Re: Craft Corner

Thank you @BlueBay😊

@Gazza75 might be able to explain diamond painting a bit better, but from the little I've seen it's a sticky canvas with a printed picture on it that you then place little diamondy kind of beads with a stylus tool to make it a sparkly art work. It's kind of like a combination of colouring in and cross stitch maybe. I found them in Spotlight and a couple of $2 shops and heaps on eBay, so they're around and easy to pick up. Might be something you're interested in 🙂

Hiya to @TheVorticon who I see around (so good to see you!) 😎 Any crafting happening for you lately?

@BlueBay, here's the one I'm working on at the moment.  If you go back a few pages, there are a few others one I have done.  Your projects are really nice to.  Glad that you shared them with us 🙂 Heart

@CheerBear, glad the crew enjoy the diamond painting 🙂  Really nice work with your Sophie circles to.  I would trust your intuition with your colour selection, everything I have seen by you looks terrific.

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @CheerBear 🙂
Sadly no crafting happening here. I'm in the land of 'Don't Deserve To Do That Until I've Finished Chores And Home Projects That I'm Procratinating On So I'm Actually Not Achieving Anything'. I'll have to take a trip away from this particular land when I find a working vehicle. Smiley Frustrated

Re: Craft Corner

Thanks @Gazza75 🙂 Your latest painting looks so fun! I was really tempted to 'share' one with the kids yesterday 😆

Oh dear @TheVorticon! So much life stuff interferes with my craft stuff too and causes lots of shoulds 😏 Right now I should be going to the supermarket, should be tidying up, should be heading home to feed the cats etc. but right now all I want to do is crochet. I'm now playing here instead, getting none of the above done 😑 I found some awesome eeveelutions for 'one day' 😁

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear that is so pretty, your blanket is going to look amazing im sure of it!

@Gazza75 loving your owl so far

good morning also @Maggie @TheVorticon @BlueBay @saturnzoon @shaz61 @Judi9877 and all crafters

Re: Craft Corner

Hi @outlander @CheerBear @Gazza75 @Maggie @BlueBay and all crafty critters here! I’m loving the works you have all put up here. Well done. Everyone is so creative!

 

@CheerBear I love your Sophie’s universe. I can’t believe you frogged the first one- I really liked it! The second one is also great! Maybe I’ll have to work on my skills to build up to this! 

 

@Gazza75 the diamond dots paintings are going really well. I love owls and want to cross stitch one but haven’t really found a design I like. I did find out though, that you can actually do cross stitch patterns from diamond dots paintings as the diamond dots colours are actually DMC thread cotton colours. Bizarre yet interesting huh? Maybe I might have to explore this option in future?!

 

I finished off the first strip of my blanket earlier today which I’ve decided that I’m going to keep for myself. I’ve got to make 9 strips which is 20cm wide and 180cm long - I want to make a double bed blanket. I’m using 4mm knitting needles and 40 stitches using garter stitch which means I don’t have to focus - I just change the colours whenever I feel like it and use a measuring tape to keep an eye on the length. I’m calling it a ‘Crazy Blanket’ as the colour choices and yarn is so random with no real thought put into it but at least it will be unique as no one will have one like it as it’s all mine. See below for the photo! I’ve got another 3 strips on the go in various lengths as I tend to forget that I’ve started one and then start another - weird huh? At least I’ll get there eventually. After that, it’s sewing them up and going from there. I may or may not put a border around the blanket. The blanket strip is curled in a circle as I had trouble loading it on here as a photo in 1 big long strip! I hope you like it!4E64BCA3-5145-44BE-A47E-7590E7D20DBB.jpeg

Okay. Time to go and do some uni study. I’ll try and pop back in later to see how everyone is going. Have fun crafting and creating whatever you may be up to😊
