Re: Craft Corner
Hugs @Rubyrose1 ,
At least you have us 🙂
My family are interstate. I haven't heard or spoken to them in over a year. I think we only speak once a year.
I used to hate Christmas and NY. I spend most of them in hospital.
Nowadays, I plan things for myself. Things that will be helpful for my recovery.

Re: Craft Corner
@tyme since going no contact at times it feels like a huge weight has been lifted and I’ve been able to start painting more and return to some of my other creative things but some days I really struggle even to get off the couch , I get stuck thinking about anything and everything, social mead is has become a real trap for me lately as well cos it numbs everything . Anyway here are some of my recent paintings, I’m just learning as I go

Re: Craft Corner
Yea, social med can really be a trap @Rubyrose1 . I'm not even signed up to them. Not worth my time or energy.
As for the paintings, lovely! Is it watercolour on recycled paper or something?

Re: Craft Corner
- Hello @Rubyrose1 nice to meet you 😊 I love your paintings of the countryside, you are very talented.
- My father used to paint outside scene's all the time as well when he was here.
- using cotton rag paper sound's pretty hard, it's good when we find things that we enjoy to occupy our minds.
- I try and crocheting and diamond art when I can, I have had to cut-down a lot from doing it everyday for hours as I have double vision now and can't see what I'm doing properly close up and miss holes or stitches and then I ĝet angry with myself.
- @tyme @CheerBear I have not been on this thread for a couple of years forgot it

Re: Craft Corner
Hey @saturnzoon ,
Good to see you. I can see how frustrated you can get from missing holes in cross stitch.
Hang on, I’m sure you can get a stand up magnifying glass. Why should you be deprived of something you enjoy? Also, do you know why you have double vision? I know someone who had double vision. After getting all the checks, all they needed was special glasses.
