Hello ladies!
I got completely addicted to this thread last year and made quite a few things like sock monkeys, flannel reaindeer, vinyl bowls, skittle vodka, retro sweet boxes, perfect man gingerbread...
But with redundancy looming money is very tight this year and I tend to get carried away and buy everything crafty in sight so I have set myself the challenge of trying to make as many presents as possible out of only things I already own!! no trips to Hobby craft at all, oo it is going to be tough!!!
Please wish me luck and I will try to keep you all posted as much as possible but can't log on very often.I think I am going to start with chalkboard magnets/gift tags and damnit dolls.
Good luck with all the ideas I've seen on here- you are all so imaginative!!

crazychatter - stardrops is right...........have a rummage through cupboards and drawers.........you're bound to find something you can transform. I've done it and get a real kick out of making something for nothing (well almost nothing).I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

Well I finally got round to making a Dammit Doll:j It's not great, it was a lot more difficult than I thought sewing round the outline of the doll
