... Right then who started something - made something - didn't finish something and it all went wrong then?? ...

2 years ago I started a free cross stitching kit I got on the front of a magazine to make a wrap that goes around a cake. Got 2 reindeers in and didn't finish!! I pulled it out this year and got 2 stitches in and got no further! ... So i'm going to sit and do some now in the hope its ready for next year LOL
:rotfl:

So come on then ... What else did you start and no finish? Or finished but it turned out pants or went wrong along the way?

  • well a good number of years ago I got the stuff to make framecraft's twelve days of christmas decorations.....the intention was the first yearI would stitch the first day of christmas decoration and give them to 'selcted' people instead of cards, and then the following year do the second day and so on.

    Needless to say I've never even done the first day.....could 2014 be the year that it actually happens????
