Used some adia and threads from my stash to stitch this, chart was also amongst the ones stashed. Will sort out the cushion pad and fabric and finish it in the week.

So my total is now up to 23. Still of target by a bit - but it's a a start.

Decorated some notebooks and downsized some notebooks - taking out only what I needed from them... Managed to finish off 5 rolls of decorated tape - not counted the finished craft items just the finished projects...

I have counted my still not fixed sewing machine as one item - as I spent virtually 2 days trying to fix it... (yes it's sad but at least I feel I accomplished something in the two days... haha)

everyone has been busy - I love the cards and I will remember my log on for flickr soon - and once I figure it out i'll start loading up some photos again....

Thanks everyone, yes it is an ambitious list, but I have to do that otherwise I won't achieve anything!

I've made some more knitted squares today and last night, used up a bit more wool. I'm concentrating on them this week as my friend needs some more to sew into blankets and I'm seeing her Friday.

So total now 66/600

mrs-m, your stitching is lovely.

morsbags are on my hit list top; like you, loopychriss, I've got labels and -of course- fabric!

I'm declaring 5 more makes


I've finished two pages of Project Life and thanks to Mrs Moneypenny I've also made three strings of bunting using an old Twinkle annual someone gave me ages ago


So my total now stands at 56/2016

Oh that takes me back crafting mad, I had twinkle comic when I was a little girl and my uncle always called me twinkle because of it. Thank you so much for bringing that happy memory to the surface and making me smile:)

I'm up to 29 / 500

It's still going slow. Made two denim pencil cases. Used a decorative zip on one but the first I tried to use kind of shredded when I tried to unpick it. Can't bring myself to use leather yet - don't want to knacker my machine - but really want to get it used up.

Added another pencil case. Denim again - added some ric rac. And managed to downsize some oversized storage boxes too by unpacking some pens into it.

They're not masterpieces - but they'll do the job. I need to make several more - for me but it's nice to have made a start.

I think I came to the conclusion I needed to make 6 - some for home - some for work. So they'll keep me occupied for a while.
I think I may want to add mini bunting to the next ones.

I realise I'm currently not on target for my target - but I'm hoping I get there.

I'm loving the photos from everyone - kind of keeps me motivated. I will try to figure out my Flickr logon.

Also finished off a pen. Small win but it counts. Haha

4 makes today, I spotted these old books in a pile in the chazzer store room when I last dropped some stuff off, I mentioned they would be great for book folding lady said they couldn't be sold to read as they were old and fusty, but if I wanted to fold them they could sell them on the Valentine craft table they were having. I took 6 to start with and have folded and covered 4 so far. Hoping to drop them in at the weekend and see if she likes them.

Total finished so far 15 items

Everyone is doing fantastically well done on all the brilliant makes.
