thats what i love about threads like this one, hearing about other peoples ideas and plans (and seeing photos) its so inspiring and encourages others to try different things

Don't you mean it encourages others to buy lots of other craft items, lovingly look at them but never get round to doing them - or is that just me:D

you do have a very valid point there.
everything on my list shold be completed without having to buy anything as i really do have so much stashed away

someone on the 'knit a square' thread coined the acronym
SABLE - Stash Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy.
i will have to live a very long time to use all of mine up:rotfl:

Now I know I'm definitely in very good company here, another SABLE owning up .... but don't you think it's fun unearthing hidden treasures that you'd forgotten about:D

Evening all, just wanted to come on and say I have finished the first of my 13 for 13 wahoo, I apologise for all the pictures but im really pleased with how it came out, it’s the first time I have designed something and made it. It is supposed to be my mums xmas present but im not sure if I canwait that long to give it to her J so it may well end up as her mothers day or birthday present. It is a folder thingy so she can carry her sewing with her all the time as she like to holiday and this wont take up to much room either in her luggage or in her camper van
