    Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well.

    Once again I am losing track of time this year is just flying past I am sure someone has time on fast forward. I havent gotten anything else done on my list and The Gruffalo is proving more time consuming than I had originally anticipated. I need to have a serious think about my list as it's nearly September and I now have to start concentrating on Birthdays and Xmas.

    Well done on all the finished projects so far beautiful work as always.

    Soulie - I hope you are feeling good as can be.

    Mrs Moneypenny - wowee your completions are brilliant well done on your hard work.

    Sweercarer - your Sandy Hook hearts are beautiful and bring tears to my eyes everytime I see them such a beautiful thing to do. I love the bears too I want to steal that design ;)

    Well I will be back soon once I sort this list out x

    The Bag - not quite right but had no patter or instructions just the old bag to try and copy.

    The Chair backs - basically a pillowcase style - but now got to design seats for them as they are going too

    I did shorten a dress and make a covered alice band from the remnants, and did the picture using stamps - but that looks awful so may need some advice once I post a picture onto how to make ti better

    Well it is official I will not have time to finish the projects on my list. I have too many craft fairs to attend in the next few months as well as online orders to fill. If I'm lucky I'll be able to knit the jumper I've started. However I'd probably not have done half the things on my list if I hadn't joined this group so thank you very much for giving me the shove I needed to get on with some stuff x
  • What a brilliant idea for a thread! I wish I’d seen it earlier in the year, I think I’m too late to start this year’s list, but will join in for next year (if there is one!).

    I’m between houses/countries at the moment so the earliest I’ll have access to my craft gear will be early Nov, maybe my list for this year should be what to put on next year’s list!
