Well I've managed to finish one item so far so that's 1 /14 completed.


I've also started project life scrapbook (although as this is a weekly record this will not be finished until the end of the year) and I've also got all my 6 x 4 photos printed out ready for the Disney project life scrapbook so will be starting this very soon


Still trying to think of other projects to complete my 14 things but as I am signed up for the stash busting challenge on here I am sure that I will keep discovering things that can be used to make things for around my home which will inspire me

well done on completing your 1st item.

the project life scrapbook sound interesting id love to have a go at something like it but wouldnt know where to start. is it like a journal?
i did get two diaries this year so could do something different with one of those

I'm glad your not intending to drum people out for not completing all of their list. If you were I'd need to leave now

Tgroom - your button for he comps sounds interesting. Is it easy to do?

I'd also like to welcome all the newbies, there's some interestingly items on the lists.

Hi, please can I join 14 projects for 2014. Last year knitted 14 red apples for Incredible Edible Friend RUTH.
Also sent 10 Knitted Babies items to Salvation Army.
This year have a pattern to make baby dungarees, proceeds to go to MND in aid of "Northern Star".
also to make "owl" kit, and "felt Desserts" kit.

thanks for that idea, i was thinking of maybe doing the back a contrasting or toning colour but hadn't thought of a panel. I'll quite possibly go with something along the lines of that idea.
its a tangerine silky fabric with a picot cotton overlay on the bodice and sleeves and a decorative band made from the silky fabric so ive got a bit to work with, i was about 7 when i was their bridesmaid so it should be a longish length of fabric once i start unpicking it. i stitched panel would work well i think.

isnt it lovely having all those new people coming in to join us.

Thank you for doing a sterling job of welcoming all the lovely newbies. It was a bit of a shock to be gestured in the newsletter but in a nice way and it will be wonderful to have lots of members sharing a huge variety of projects

Welcome. Interesting list. Love the idea of the bunting and hope you'll be able to share photos soon

I have started doing a crochet scarf for myself. It will allow me to practice the basic stitches and still have something I can use at the end.

This is the first time in months I have picked up any sort of craft work and it felt so relaxing to do it. It helped me to turn off from work and I feel less tired than I have felt all week!

I will also add to my list:
Make lavender bags
Make peppermint lip balm
Make facial oils
Some of these will be for myself and some will be for birthday/mothers day gifts.
