    Can I join too please?
    So far plans include a jumper for me, a knitted blanket for me, a mixed media piece of the New York skyline for dear friends and although not exactly a project......I was lucky enough to get an embellisher cheaply at auction so I really need to start using it!

  • Can I join in next year? I enjoy cross stitch (though no time usually) and hope to teach myself to knit next year so will hopefully spend a few evenings knitting Christmas gifts before next year is over!

    I think Soulie would be pleased to see this continue.

    Please may I join - have not got a clue what I am going to make yet but am busy trying to destash (I have so much which really must be used).

    I'll update later once I have thought about 14 things I could make :)

    2. Make a blue sock monkey for baby Jack.
    3. Make a patchwork quilt from the old jeans that everyone has been collecting for me for ages & ages and that are now overflowing from my cupboard!.
    4. Remake the cover for my youngest granddaughter's beanbag chair.
    5. Make some new cushion covers (patchwork?) for my lounge.
    6. Make new curtains for my kitchen.
    7. [FONT=&quot]Remake daughter’s old waitress aprons into a woodworking apron for OH.[/FONT] DONE 02.01.14 (will add photo later if I can persuade OH to model it! ;) )
    8.
    9.

    I'll add the others later.

    I'll join, no idea what I will be making yet though. I tend to go with what I feel like making rather than plan ahead too much.
    I think it's a lovely way to remember Soulie thanks for doing it flowerofscotland, I'm sure she would be pleased to see us all carrying on.

    Make as you go obviously works for you. Well done on achieving 13 in 2013 and good luck with your 14 in 2014
