@avant-garde that's beautiful ❤️

Yeah I think it’s pretty big on Roblox @rav3n  which unfortunately is very popular. Lots of books… novels and graphic novels. 

oh they look great! Including your budgie! Love the colours. Kmart bring out some really nice paint by numbers. I have a stack under my bed that I happen to grab when they were on clearance. Yeah even the pricey paint by numbers that I get I have to do a couple of coats of paint.., which is so annoying! You’d think for the price they would use quality paint. Wish I could show you the photo paint by numbers I have done. You can upload a photo and they turn it into a paint by number. I got some cheap ones off Temu too.

@avant-garde just noticed the roses in the butterfly wing!! love it 💗

oh! didn't know it was popular on Roblox too, i tried Roblox once... i didn't get the hype but my sis loves it @Bow is D a fan of Roblox?

thank you! ahh sucks that even the pricey ones need the extra coats!! i didn't realise how many amazing craft stuff there was at kmart... i was sooo tempted to just grab everything i saw. my sis ended up getting us some gem art which was fun too. and i got a crotchet kit (but i didn't understand ANY of the instructions so will have to dive into it later). oh yeah i remember you mentioning how you can create your own paint by number!! you've made a few for others right? do you still do that? i'd love to do a harry potter one, specifically the scene of the castle at night. might look into getting that created one day.

Yeah my D loves Roblox @rav3n  I wish she didn’t 

Yep Kmart is great for craft stuff. They have all sorts of things too. I always enjoy wandering the isles to see what is new. 
I have one photo paint by numbers in my cupboard it’s of my mum and step dad. No massive rush to get it done, but will be nice for my mum to have that painting. I did one for someone at church and they now want another one…. But if I do it I really gotta increase my price! I only charged them $200. The kit cost $70, and there was well over 40 hrs work in it. And while I don’t do it for the money, that $3.25 hr! 

you could probably find a Harry Potter one online. I find them good to have there for when I’m just in the mood. And if I’m going inpatient I usually take one with me.

Hello @Oaktree @tyme @rav3n @Gremlin24 @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Ru-bee @ENKELI @MJG017 @StuF  @Jynx @Snowie @RiverSeal @Jlol and all forumites here. I am really enjoying all of your projects and hobbies - such a wide and diverse range of different things. Great job!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been knitting squares for a new blanket for myself which use different knitting stitches to make pictures. I’ve completed 9 squares including a flamingo, a sun, a dolphin, a rose and a ball of wool with knitting needles in it. I’d like to post a photo but the files are too large for this set up here in the forums unfortunately. The patterns are from a website called ‘Daisy and Storm knitting patterns’ for those that are interested in this type of thing. I’ve also been knitting more beanies - both adults and babies - for charity and Ambulance Victoria. 

I’ve also rediscovered my love of cross stitching again and am now working a 4 set picture designs of cats that I found whilst cleaning my bedroom. I’ve found that the hobby is relaxing yet challenging and creative all at once and I’m very happy to get back into doing this once again. 

Take care.

Oh, a pity it's not possible to share a photo.  It's great that you're doing the beanies for such great causes.  It seems like a big win for everyone!

@Judi9877 I just had a google of those Daisy and Storm knitting patterns and they look awesome! What a fun way to use some simple stitches to create a pattern! I'm going to have to give those a try soon
