    My plans for May are -

    1. Wash beach glass collected at treasure beach. Completed.

    2. Try to set up printer - carried over from April. Still to try.

    3. One junk journal - steampunk. Started still not finished.

    4. Cut up brown paper - IKEA completed May.

    5. One sewing project - Completed. A skirt. With shirring. Not a massive fan. I'll leave it for a bit and see if it can be tweaked to make it more wearable. I can't decide if it's the length or the the waist that I'm disliking.

    134 / 500.

    The points about my craft room only being tidy when I've not used it are fair. Haha

    I hope everyone's doing well.

    I have a craft room to mucky up and a journal to finish. Haha

    Glad to see some of [STRIKE]us [/STRIKE]you are still getting on with the crafting. I'm a bit stuck at the moment - too much footie, but that's it finished today for a wee while.

    Finished two more makes so up to 104 completed now

    We are doing an experiment at school of how different materials hold up to the elements and what types of things are most suitable or durable for various things. The children have made paper houses at school. I've me a wooden one and a fabric one, some one else is making a paper one and a laminated paper one we are going to leave them out in the elements for a few weeks and see what happens to them

    Well done, mrs-m. I used to do things like that when I was teaching too.

    Made a dress to wear tonight when I go to see Adam ant in concert.
    It's a bit too big, think I should have made the next size down as I can get it on and off without undoing the zip. But I think it looks ok.

    Made a patchwork tote bag for a friend, used up lots of tiny scraps of fabric lucking in my stash. Total up to 57 /200 now, slow but sure.
    Hope you all have a great bank holiday weekend. I will try to catch up with some sewing jobs over the next few days.
