@Former-Member you spoil me rotten. Thank you I didnt like to ask .... Will have a good watch. I seem to be doing extra stitches so those lifelines sound brilliant. Thanks again.:)

Please do ask sweetie, please. It's a pleasure to teach someone who wants to learn something different! It's an honour actually.

I can't always remember well enough all the details and we all learn differently. I was rather upset with myself that I had missed that point. Glad the info will be useful though. 

Keep up the good work,cos you have done really well, and I don't think I said that enough either as I was so intent on finding an explanation to help. 

Must go, you have an excellent night.

awesome @Former-Member looking forward to seeing the pics

Thank you @Former-Member - many say they would not have the patience for such intricate work. Funny thing is that I am not a patient person in many things - I just love the art so much.

Thank you for the inspiration - the rocking and crocheting sounds so relaxing......x

@CheerBear I've getting into jewelery making and macrame weaving I've been making macrame-style stone pouches for pendants and necklaces and making rosary-style necklaces. I can also draw, and when I'm feeling really bad sometimes, I try to draw out my feelings.

Hi @CheerBear, I wish you all the best on your mission to take over the world with crochet ⭐️A wonderful goal!

I’m impressed that you taught someone to crochet here. Well done, you really are committed to your goal. Lol. The crochet owls sounds like it turned out brilliantly.

Hi @Former-Member, thank you, I’ll keep that in mind. Your crocheted slippers look great! Fun summery colours 🌸🌺

Hi to everyone else too 🌼💐

Hi @Snowie. Thank you for the lovely welcome 💐 I love your avatar. I’m yet to upload one. Plan to do it though

@Former-Member your cross stitch is amazing. That would have taken so long to make. Beautiful and love the frame ❤

Hi @EternalFlame ☺ I had little look at macrame pouches this morning. So cool! Do you they take you a while to make? They remind me of a little bag/pouch I used to have a set of worry dolls in. Drawing out your feelings sounds like a really great thing to do.

Hiya @Pepperpot - nice to see you again ☺ Hope you're doing well.

I'm going to use something crafty as motivation to do some housework this morning (so I can guilt free play). Hope the day goes well for all.

Hi to everyone at the craft corner. Does restoring furniture and/or decorating it count as a craft? I’m going to a church garage sale in two weeks time to look at buying my first project. Wish me luck. This will be something completely new to me, an outdoor activity for my creative juices.

Indoors, I knit, cross stitch, long stitch, draw, rubber stamp, but I have yet to learn to crochet. So far, all attempts to learn have brought me to tears. I don’t have anything to photograph for you to see, but I knitted a blanket for my niece when she was a baby, and when she moved to a “big kids” bed (that is, a normal single bed), I made it bigger and even cross stitched her name on it. To give you a hint, her favourite colours are pink, purple, red and blue. The cross stitching was done in black 8-ply knitting wool.

Sure does qualify as craft to restore and decorate furniture @Annabelle4 .....

@Former-Member was working on a chest of drawers last year.
