    I would like to join you, if I may.
    1. Finish red knitted snood.
    2. Learn to use sewing machine & make a peg bag
    3. Make a pom pom hat
    4. Make jam
    5. Make bunting
    6. Make Christmas decorations
    7 to 14 I will think about.
    What a great thing to do and for such a good reason
    Thanks

    What a lovely varied list


    My SiL wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine and although I was able to show her the basics we don't live near enough for me to teach her much so she went to a beginner's day class and learned loads of things in the time she was there. She has now booked onto a more advanced course about stitching home furnishings so well worth the investment in time and money

    Hello everyone

    Thought I would post my list as I have been tidying up my list in 13 in 2013.

    1. Cross stitch journal cover
    2. Parts 5-16 of learning sampler
    3. Address book cross stitch cover
    4. Blue sampler - part three (do it at work)
    5. Part one of herb alphabet
    6. Part two of herb alphabet
    7. Part three of herb alphabet
    8. Part four of herb alphabet
    9. Part five of herb alphabet
    10. Start twisted sampler
    11. Baby sampler for Claire at work
    12. Wedding sampler for Iain at work
    13. Wedding sampler for Marty at work
    14. Wedding sampler commission for Fiona at work

    So think I have a fair amount there - no doubt more will creep into the list and it will need adjusted.

    So go forth and craft fellow crafty buddies,

    sweetcarer ;)
    :j cross stitch forever, housework whenever :j
  • Hello all, have just printing out my xmas/ birthday planning lists for next year just need to fill them in with what I want to make/ buy them and hopefully (although it has never happened before) I can try and buy some over the year.


    still not made any decisions on my 14 for 14 list but thought if I came on I might get a flash of inspiration !

    According to my rules - the first one of which is that there are no rules - you can change your list at any time so maybe just add some ideas on there and then adjust during the year :D

    1. Crochet a square a day for a granny square blanket.
    2. Knit a hat for my son
    3. Start a journal/scrapbook for my craft projects.
