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

Ok so still not completed my may list. Haha

For June

1. Set up printer or at least try. Carried over from April.

2. Complete steam punk junk journal. Carried over form May.

3. One sewing project. To be decided.

4. Actually get the bagged up leather etc over to my mothers. This will count as three when completed. Haha

5. make some glimmer mist stuff and try it out.

So I am up to 138 / 500 so far. Covered some books and used up some note pads.

I'm achieving some stuff. Slowly and small bits. But I'm plodding on.

Morning all, finishe a pair of socks on dpns the first tine I've ever managed this so really pleased with myself. But the 2nd looked so much batter than the first and I realised I made a mistake and didn't follow the pattern properly in the heel flap of the first, so I've pulled it down to the and going to redo the heel and foot part. I'll count it once I have a pair I'm happy with.

Morning all.


Made this from 3 flags, a zip and a bit of gingham for lining, I did have to buy 2 new flags but everything else I had in. Today it's street party day at work in celebration of the queens 90th birthday. I may have gone slightly over the top with the wear something red white and blue brief we were given.

well done, mrs-m.

I'm seriously loving the dress. Haha.

I'm loving the fact that tomorrow I have a whole day off. I treated myself to some drawer handles for some small craft drawers with my birthday money so I intend to decorate the drawers and attach those tomorrow. I think. Hopefully.

Catching up a bit at last.

A couple of cards, one for s-i-l and a spare for charity.

I have decorated my IKEA mope drawers. Used some decorated paper and the handles. Took ages to drill the holes for the screws mostly because I couldn't fond the shed key - my boyfriend usually hides them.

In the process I threw away some junk as I came across it. So I have completed 3 things to count. Not ones on the list but getting there.

Glad to see all of the things people are making. Xx

Another sundress for Emily; it's a pillowcase style but with a shirred waistline. This one used a bit of a duvet cover - a couple of years ago I bought a cheap one to cut down for a strange sized Ikea quilt and kept what I didn't need.

I had a teeny length of plain pink fabric and I used this for the hem band (needed the length) to make bias binding for the armholes, ties and belt. If it hadn't been for faffing around with this it'd have been done in no time.

And I still have the reverse to use. It's stripey so will do another sundress. Just need to decide on style to suit and I'll probably have to hunt out anpther coocrdinating remnant.
