No Craft Spending in 2020 - I will bust my stash this year!!!

craftingmad

So after my failure this year I am most definately going to try really hard to bust my stash in 2020 so have put myself on a self imposed craft spending ban during 2020. I originally thought of 20 months of No spending but thought given my last feeble attempts I thought I'd start with just a year and see how I get on.

So the rules are I cannot buy any new craft supplies except for adhesives once mine have run out, supplies for orders (for items which I already make) or crafty storage.

Other than that I hope to use only things from my stash and not get tempted by the new shiny objects which keep being released.

My aim is to make 2020 items during the year.
This will be a mixture of cards, scrapbook pages, project Life (I will class each page as one item), handmade items - in fact a real mixture of things as I'm sure I have all the supplies I need to make pretty much everything I can think of!

Would anybody care to join me?
The rules are simple - there are no hard and fast rules apart from what you want them to be. The aim is to use our crafty stash without buying more but of course if you do weaken and grow your stash just come in and confess your sins and you will be forgiven

You can set your own target of how many items you would like to make using your stash or just a certain number of time you want to not buy for. Whatever works for you is ok with me

Hi

Please can I join for 2020? Have got assorted craft stuff between my mum and I, including wool, fabric and paper crafting stash. Will put my initial target at 150 items to make but hope I will smash that target.

Please can i join. I think i did one a couple of years ago bit was to unwell to craft last year. I'm now feeling motivated again. Can you put me down for 35 please. Not a high target but due to chronic illness I don't want to put to much pressure on myself x

kathrynha

Count me in. Not promising to buy nothing, but just to buy replacements for stuff I've used up.

I'll go for 52 makes. One a week. It fits in with my doctor encouraging me to make sure I have quality me time, and encouraging the stress relieving-ness of crafting.

Wraithlady

I'll join as well, if I may - I still have far too much fabric.

I will set my target as 25 - OH has been promised a waistcoat or two for his birthday so 2 a month should be do-able.

I'd love to join in. Need to use my mountain of craft stash and not add to it!!
My aim for 2020 is to make 150 items from existing stash so that's around 3 a week. I always make about 80 Christmas cards so the other 70 items are realistic.
I will allow myself to buy consumables such as card blanks, white card, glues when I need them.

I don't want to waste money this year as I have lots of lovely supplies already.
