Good luck, everyone, for the coming year - hope to see all your wonderful projects again.Sewing 88/COLOR]Woollies 19Card s 91Reading 37/400 -
Love everyone's photos and updates, I've still been crafting but not really had time to put photos up or do updates. Was thinking earlier, I'm looking forward to someone starting the next years thread so I can get my list planned.
Hoping to sort my time and craft stuff out so I can plan more home made gifts through the year.
Sweet carer I do love your twisted band and am so looking forward to seeing it finished and farm up.
I will miss the updates of it.SPC~12 ot 124

I've just received a "Project Life" kit, so I'll be counting that as another item for my List.
And how could I have forgotten that I'm making all the stationery for my son's wedding in April!Sewing 88/COLOR]Woollies 19Card s 91Reading 37/400 -
I'm not going to make it with my original list (although that's been changed too!!), but should do with a revised one. Will post an update on Weds or Thurs when the final standing will be revealed for us all!!
I don't think I'll be up for a 15 in 2015, but it's been a good challenge here.Elizabeth

Hi Flower of Scotland and Mrs-Monneypenny.
Is there going to be a challenge for 2015 and would you like someone to do it? If so please just ask and tell us what we have to do?
I've really enjoyed the challenge and reading and seeing your updates.
