    Hurray! I've finished my first project. The bunting for my nieces birthday is done - just in time for her birthday on Monday. Going to make her a card - again from my stash. Then onto the next project ....

    Well done, kat. It's a great feeling to get something finished - and to use up some stuff.

    One more birthday card done. Hunkydory is a great "go to". The kits seem to be never ending too!

    This should be the last of August's cards. I have none planned for September, so I hope I'll get cracking on Christmas again.

    Nothing completed here however I have been quietly crocheting away and I am close to finishing my shawl :D I had a bit of a panic when I couldn't find the balls of yarn that I had set aside for it but they turned up at the bottom of a pile of yarn I had forgotten all about :o

    Once that is finished I will need to decide on my next project based on the stash that I have, hmmmmm decisions decisions!

    I love the card agree tiger. I tried a hunky dory pack last Christmas and, as you say it seems unending. I finished second project yesterday - a knitted t- shirt for myself - very happy with it. Hope to finish boys tank top today.

    Boys tank top complete - knitted scarf on go now - this will take a little while. How is everyone doing? It's been quiet on this thread for a while - have I missed something?

    Well done to everyone on the stash busting. I've been busy clearing fabric stash by sewing clothes....maybe I'll get another card done tomorrow.

    I found myself browsing online stores for watercolours after seeing *Jellie's* card on the other thread but talked myself out of buying any. Will have to wait for Santa:rotfl:

    I have added some more things here and have figured out how to add a signature so have updated that accordingly.

    Well done on resisting temptation!! I read a blog by Alisa Burke (love her painting). She thinks that you can do a decent job with cheap watercolours like crayola so when it gets to Christmas maybe a cheap set is the way to go!

    Well done on the finished projects :D

    Things have been quiet on the crafting front the last few days as my arm has been aching when I try and crochet so I am sensibly giving myself a break for a few days. It is so frustrating and I have loads that I want to do.

    Rummer- hope it stops aching soon.

    I didn't get round to a card today- still sewing!

    Glad to see people are still beavering away.

    I got another 2 Morsbags done today. And I fixed the hem on my trousers - didn't count this even although I used up some thread, lol.

    I have to confess to buying some wool and some glass beads - will have a go at making a beaded scarf (2 if all goes well with the first one, lol).

    And I spent £20 on a groupon voucher which gets me £40 of fabric - just need to get into Glasgow to use it now! I had been going to ignore it but my daughter sent me an email about it too, and I am so weak willed ....

    Changed my target to 300 things now. Does that make up for my weak will?
