Hi tigger mad

I get that. I have boxes of stuff to use. Masses of papers and things to use up. I like to save it all for best and then never use it up. This is the focus. I’m even being harsh and trying to then use up the things I make. It’s great to make journals and note pads or cards but then they need to get used up too or at least leave the house for some reason.

I’ve stopped using pads etc from work and have been taking in my stash.

Hope you’ve all been crafty and busy. ��

Go nimbo :T:T:T:T:T

Its great to see more people joining in and I'm loving reading all your progress.

I'm now up to 36 items made towards my what now seems impossible target


These include lots more sticker sheets and a photo collage picture frame I've completed just for me


Slowly my total is starting to move and the stash will go down (it may be 2040 but it will go down)

Hi - looking to join. I have loads of on the go projects that need finishing before I embark on anything else. Currently doing a wedding cake which has a deadline! The rest is paper craft or sewing so seems to slip.

I have so many papers I have saved for best that I don't have any papers that aren't for best!

Well done for using them up.

My focus at the moment is we are moving things around in our kitchen, filling, sanding and painting so paper craft has taken a back seat again!

I would like to join in please. I scrapbook,patchwork, knit and crochet and this year I would like to get up to date with my family/holiday photos so I can start on ones of my new great grandson. My patchwork is all hand sewn and I have 2 quilts on the go so they won't be finished anytime soon. I have just finished a small crocheted blanket for charity and I have started a knitted pullover for my OH. Don't know how I can record progress though.

Hello and welcome Sayschezza
Its great to have you onboard.
You don't have to have a figure in mind to join this thread if you don't want to.
As far as I'm concerned any progress is good progress so feel to post and tell us about what you have been up to.
I can't wait to hear your exciting updates

I'm just popping along to declare a further 40 items made -mainly sticker sheets again but also a couple of friendship teabags for friends as well

This takes my total up to 76/2019

Thanks for the welcome Craftingmad although I can't guarantee my updates will be exciting.
