    I'm back - did you miss me?
    Sorry for my absence - life and my business got a bit hectic for a while but the good news is I've got lots of makes to declare :)
    The bad news however is I have also fallen off the wagon and succumbed to buying some dies and glitter mists from Create and Craft and then I also went and bought even more dies and a few embellishments from Printable Heaven as they were such a bargain :#   
    In my defense I do have 210 makes to declare though (mainly thanks to a large order received this week) so can I be forgiven?
    So my 210 makes are made up as follows:-
    7 x cards (for nobody in particular - I just felt like making them)
    1 x friendship teabag for an Etsy order
    101 x wish bracelets for an order
    101 x magnets for an order  
    So my total now stands at 454/2020 so I'm now over 20% towards my huge target and I promise I will try very hard to buy no more crafty supplies during March :)

  • Loving reading about, and seeing everyone's makes.  Will have to learn how to quote and post images sometime, but not really very IT literate.  Have been temped by some dies and stamps this week but so far so have managed to stay on the wagon, BUT do feel the need some fabric for a cushion for my niece - can't believe I don't have something suitable amongst all the fabric I have.  Have completed a case for my redwork lampshade covers and a redwork heart this week, as well as carrying on with the 12 days of Christmas and elephant quilts.  PJ bottoms just need hemming.  Like to make these as only a couple of seams and hemming - no darts, no real fitting and long enough. Next week will carry on with the quilts, some redwork and finish my PJs, then make plans for what next.  Also want to sort out and find a home for some watercolour pencils I never use.

    I do enjoy all your posts,and I post what I intend to make as it makes me accountable.I laid 3 kings fabric out on the floor and turned my back.pic to follow.
    I was surprised how easy it was to add a pic and I am completely un technical.
    I am intrigued by what you all make.
    Crafting mad you have to speculate to accumulate as they say!
    spoke too soon,having trouble adding a pic!

    I have sewn in some more name labels and that's about it! I picked up a book last week and that was it, no crafting done. I do have a tower of books next to my bed to read, so that's still a good use of time. 
    I didn't even get any crafting done on my day off as I went to the gym and then did a spot of shopping afterwards (non-craft related, hurrah!).
    Make £2025 in 2025- £751.88/£2025
