  • Morning all
    beautiful photos and updates. well done everyone, im sure this pants weather (i love snow:T) is helping us get more of our crafty stuff doe by forcing us to stay at home in the warm.

    I Finished the Trotters (anchor kit) over the weekend.
    ive changed the writing on it to personalise it to my mum and our family, so took a photo before doing the wordy stitching. just need to get it framed now ready for mothers day.
    Ill post a photo up later.

    Found a lovely little Jane Greenoff, butterfly kit in my stash its a peacock butterfly, ive stitched that on a bigger piece of adia and going to add some wording to personalise it for my little niece.
    butterfly is stitched but not the wording so its still ongoing.

    not part of my 13 in 2013 challange but I'm gonna add them as a 'spare' then if I am short I can count them lol.

    batman and robin capes made. I'll never win prizes for my sowing - esp with DS1 and 2 ontop of my the whole time, taking things, trying to kill themselves with scissors etc.
    also 20mins of wondering why the threads wasn't working properly (it was the threaded wrong).
    + I can't find the pins and the fabric is shiny.

    But............(and these look 200% better in the picture then in real life).

    I keep finding myself lurking on this thread so I've decided to join in if I may. Love what everyone has done so far. I'll put my thinking cap on and come up with 13 projects. I'm more in to paper crafting and jewellery making than fabric crafts though I can do some sewing on the machine. Mostly make things for gifts and currently working on a bracelet for a February birthday, also need to do a necklace for someone else.
