It was my Christmas present about 4 years ago. I really don't use it as much as I should, so my challenge is as much about using the equipment I have as well as using my stash of craft stuff.

What a great gift

I am really bad at buying tools and equipment and never using them so I too am making it my mission to start enjoying them - first on my hitlist are my silhouette cutting machine and the foiling pens from We R Memory Keepers :D:D

Hi all -

I’d love to sign up again.

My aim is 400 for the year again. Didn’t manage it last year but I’m hoping to this year.

I’ve manage three today. Fixed a table which did require a £4 spend on wood filler - but I love that table and it’s well worth fixing. ��used up some screws I had knocking about. I need to sort out some other stuff I took off the table too.

Hi nimbo, its great to see you onboard :j:j:j

Well done on fixing the table - I love it when we can mend our old favourites :T:T:T

Cannot wait to hear all about your other crafting adventures

I'm declaring further 2 makes today as I've just completed two more pages of my Project Life album filling it mainly with photographs of my son's poorly foot but I've used up 4 sheets of photo paper and lots of stickers plus a little scrap of cardstock so hopefully little will count. :D:D

My total now stands at 84/2020 :j:j:j

Have covered a rubbish bin that had become grubby, with a piece of fabric from stash. Looking quite smart now and serviceable for a bit longer
Nice to see some old names back and well done to everyone.
Total 44/150.

I have a grubby rubbish bin too so this idea sounds fab. Was it easy to do rosie51? My sewing skills are barely there! :o:o

Well done on another item. You are absolutely flying towards your total and putting me to shame! :T:T:T

I'm declaring further 3 makes towards my total which I have completed today.

These are:-

5 sheets of stickers for an order (counting as one make as all the same)

100 3x3 inch thank you cards for an order (counting as one make as were just print and cut but did use up 17 sheets of cardstock) :j:j:j

1 x sheet of stickers

So in total I have used up 17 sheets of cardstock and 6 sheets of stickers :T:T:T

My total now stands at 87/2020 -I'm edging slowly to triple figures :j:j:j

I have knitted and decorated and sewn up another two trauma blankets yesterday and today. I was going to have a rest but I guess I'm addicted! Did use up the last of a couple of balls of wool though, and loads of bits that were sewn on them.

I'm delivering the 16 I've finished on Wednesday and picking up some more that are knitted and need decorating. This is likely to be ongoing so I'll be using up some bits and pieces every day.

21/100

Wow everyone has made so much so far this year.

Am still at 0/150 but knitting a new long scarf which seems to be never-ending at the moment - am hoping I might be able to get it finished by the end of the week. Then want to do something different for a couple of weeks...

Keep going everyone, you’re all doing amazingly!!!
