oh wow, Rummer, I wish I had the patience for shawls, Did one once that was quite enough!

They are my go to make so I have loads of them Also keen on making toys as they are quick. Blankets however I do not have the patience for, I made one a few years ago and it has started to unravel in many many places even though I seemed to take forever sewing in all the ends and it is so dispiriting! What do you make?

Can declare 5 more makes from my stash 5 patchwork blocks, total now 26/200. These blocks maybe turned into a wall panel but until more are blocks are sewn, i will then decide.
Have found some fabric flowers that i started last year but remain un finished, decided that they will get finish over the next day or so. Loving the different makes a talented bunch are we not.

I have used up three cards - chucked another 2 - they were for very specific events that have now passed so got rid.

I have another set to write to colleagues when I leave my role but want to wait a short while to see what's happening with redundancies at my work place so they cards dont seem really heartless if I mention staying there etc.

73 / 500 so far.

Finished 6 stemmed fabric flowers bringing my total of makes to 32/200. Flowers standing proud in a vase on my window sill.

Morning all
Looks like everyone was busy over the weekend, some beautiful makes.

Finished the pullover for DGS and used up the remaining wool from the 2nd ball to make a matching hat. Just need to sew the hat up and add a button to it.

37 items complete.

made a trio of cards. I used up 1 sheet of toppers (almost), 1 sheet of printed cardstock, 1 card insert, ribbon, ds tape, foam pads, glitter card, 3 envelopes & 4 cards (I wasted one, but it still reduces my stash, lol).

Hi all,


Love the cards greentiger - guess what I think I've got that topper set somewhere in my stash


I'm declaring a further 28 makes. I've made another 24 magnets using my badge machine and also completed 4 more Project Life pages so I'm now up to 121/2016


Still a long way to go but I think I am starting to notice a small difference in my craft room. I've just finished giving it a quick tidy up (had no choice - hubby is back tonight for a couple of days and before he left he told me in no uncertain terms that if it "was still a tip when he was next home he would hire a skip and it would all be thrown away". Some people just don't understand what it's like to be a crafter Anyway after my tidy up I can now see my floor again and I also have one whole shelf of a unit which is clear. Admittedly its a very small shelf but its still a shelf


My bank balance is looking a lot healthier too


Together we shall bust this stash

Have complete another 3 patchwork blocks which brings my total makes to 35/200.
Love all the makes shown, well done to you all.

I have embossed some card scraps and posted them to a friend who enjoys journalling......not much used but it's something!

I've machine quilted the sashing and bound all the edges. I'm going to count this as finished but will possibly hand quilt all the individual squares as a winter evening project later in the year.
