So beautiful @Maggie 💜

Thank you so much @Gazza75 .  I am on my way to uni now, so I will check it out in my break time 👍

I've missed some crafty goodness over the last day or two! So great to see and hear about all the different creations happening 🙂

@Serenity1do you and/or your little one enjoy any kind of craft?

@Judi9877I really enjoyed reading your post and how much your cross stitch helped you find some calm. Such a cool idea with the freeform shapes and colours depending on your mood. I came across a crochet mood blanket a little while ago and thought it was a great idea (I'll see if I can find it and add it below). I think it was something @outlander was looking into also? If I was to make a mood creation I have a feeling it would be very scattered and mixed up at the moment 😁 Housing issues are awful. I hope you find more calm moments in all of the stress ❤

Your diamond painting is very, very cool @Gazza75. Have you always been a crafty kind of person?

How's your blanket going @saturnzoon?

@cutiepiekittywould love to see a picture of your diamond painting if you'd like to and can share (no pressure though!)

@Faith-and-Hopethinking of you often while I get my paint (and mess) on 😉😊

@Maggielove, love, love your cave creations. Those metallics 😍 All the understanding feels thinking of what paint and dots can bring to cave kind of days.

Hope there's some good or peace in the day ahead for everyone ❤

Editing to add a picture of a mood blanket I found online @Judi9877 . Very cool

lovely @Maggie

yeah @CheerBear we were talking about blankets before and come across those mood blankets, kind of similar to the temperature blankets too.

I thought so @outlander. Another "one day" one maybe. I swear my hooks are asking me when the "one day" I'll pick them up again will happen 😆

[outlander]

another 'one day' one @CheerBear sounds about right for me too. ive barely done any crocheting either. not sure if that's because the blanket im making is for pop but the things happening here aren't making me very motivated to make anything for him or whether im not up for it in general.
your dot paintings seem to be your feel good thing atm and the are very pretty though i wonder what you do with them all 🤔 when i was making pour paintings i wasn't all that sure what to do with them so ended up giving them away!

[Gazza75]

Hey @CheerBear , hope you are well.  Glad you like the diamond painting.  I'm pretty pleased with it and quite enjoy doing them.  More than 4000 bits in that one!  I haven't been all that crafty besides doing baskets for about 2 years before I ran out of pine needles. I would like to get back into doing those if I can track down some good resources.  Might have to visit @Maggie down in Tazzie lol 😉

[CheerBear]

Wonder why that image above has a strikethrough 🤔

You lost your crojo @outlander 😉 It happens and it will come back (hopefully). I haven't really done that many dot paintings but I did buy some acrylic paint paper so I didn't start collecting canvases 😆 It's definitely a feel good right now.

@Gazza75 those baskets of yours sound very cool. I think we should all head to Tassie for a visit 😉 4000 is a bonkers number of bits and some serious patience!

[outlander]

i cant see your pic yet @CheerBear but it doesn't have a strike through it for me, just the triangle..
hmm maybe, once i start im ok. its a fast working pattern and its a double bed size piece so what it makes up for in a quick stitch it makes up for in size :face_with_rolling_eyes: i actually done have a lot of yarn left except all those yarn cakes that im using and a few bits and pieces here and there. i could try to join some squares up that i have laying around. ive still got them from that piece we were working on together with all those differen size squares. i think it could make a lap blanket, theres about 12 8rowed squares. what do you think?

[outlander]

ive got quite a few canvases but not paint @CheerBear id send you mine if i could, have around 6 of varying sizes
