I'd like to join in the 14 for 2014 Challenge - In memory of Soulie. Im a retired teacher who came back to crafting when I finished work. I then realised what I had been missing!!!
So far my list is:-
1) Complete a Fairisle tank top for me.
2) Wedding sampler for son's wedding
3) Finish off a cross stitch cushion cover started circa 1992 (it's on black fabric and so can only be done in the summer!)
4) Make all Christmas Cards
5)Make birthday cards - husband - done
6) prospective DiL
7) cousin 1
8) cousin 2
9) son
10) sister

11) Complete a quilted wall hanging, bought in California in 2009 when I finished work.
12) Complete a crosstitch Thunderbird kit started in 2007
13)Sew up cardigan finished last year (like others, I too hate sewing up
14) Knit something for charity projects



This thread is a lovely idea. Thanks FOS

Have now posted first photo on Flickr. It's was for my husband's birthday. I've finished another but won't put up the photo yet!
I've also nearly finished the fairisle pullover. Keep crafting everyone.
BTW the photos on flickr are really inspiring!

LOL thanks mrs-moneypenny - that text heart thingy took a lot of fiddling about to get looking good:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Finally have a commission, so I haven't been able to craft. Will see what I can get done in half term... Also have a few reports to write, think a bit of crochet will help with the stress!

What a lovely idea! I definitely want to join! I am (hopefully) getting married next year; we haven't set a date yet. But in the thrifty spirit I'd like to make a lot of things myself. So far I have:

1. Needle case for my sewing needles - DONE. No picture yet!
2. Gorjuss cross stitch kit rainy days - WIP
3. Gorjuss cross stitch kit 2
4. Holiday scrapbook 1 - WIP
5. Holiday scrap book 2
6. Brooch bouquet (mine)
7. Button or paper bouquets (bridesmaids - either 2 or 3)
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.

I'm sure as the year progresses I will come up with more!

I'm useless at keeping things updated! I'm also really busy so haven't been crafty much! Rainy day cross stitch is about 60% done and looking good! Been collecting brooches for my bouquet and bought one of those foam balls to practice putting the brooches I do have into a pretty pattern. I am struggling to settle on an idea/colour though. Will update further when I've stopped being so indecisive!

Another little thing from me, I think it will be for mum, it is a brooch so might find a little plain purse or bag for it to go on
