Cupcake tell me about it! I live in a National Park,it's like Picadilly Curcus. Hundreds of cyclists whizzing past my door and ramblers with rucsacs. They are not local and I am sure they can not have walked,cycled here and be back home within the hour.
Did anyone see kirsty's lock down craft show today?
I am crocheting a large blanket now,using up stash of wool.I have also taken some wool to my Mum with her shopping today,she is making a blanket with scraps of pastel wool.Wool does seem to be breeding in my craft cupboard. just not feeling the love for sewing atm.

Hello all, and happy weekend. As suspected, I've had little time to craft this week as I've been back to work. However, I've managed three quick projects - one pair of undies (Kwik Sew 3167), another zipped project bag and then because I was fed up of getting the big ironing board out, I made a little ironing pad thing (I'm sure there must be a real name!). I'm really pleased with it actually because I used up a cotton fabric I had on hand, an old ironing board cover and some not-so-great wadding.

I have finally gotten around to sorting out the sewing room/home office, so now all of my fabric has a home, which should make it much easier to get going on projects quickly. The socks have fallen by the wayside, but perhaps next week!

I've been working on some teabag folding this week- found some papers a while back, and I've made them all up now. Forgot that I actually enjoy it, so I will probably end up printing more papers out again now 🤣 once I've used up a lot more stuff! As always, not counting it until it's on a card and all finished off.

I've been a bit quiet on here lately, been busy making things.

Vulpix, wonderful crochet blankets, I love the pink one.  

I've been making masks for health workers, there have been requests from care homes, doctor's surgeries, ambulance crew health centres so I've been making some for them.  32 in the last week!  Plus mask adjusters for the masks with elastic, the elastic goes round the buttons this saving the ears from getting sore.  I've plenty more to do too, they're very popular.  

I'm hoping my target to 250 now.

Total now 161/250

Stay safe everyone xxx

I made 9 cards this morning, all with odd bits from my "make next" box. It was overflowing, and still is! A couple are birthday cards for the future, and a blank greetings card I might pop in post to friends. I could do with making some fathers day cards next, as I've got all of my next birthday cards sorted.
I'm now on 34/52

Cloe well done for wearing your makes.I used to make clothes until I realised I never wore them.I did make a lot of stuff for my children back in the day.My daughter still has a lovely party dress with little bunnies on.It was a pattern my Mum used to make me dresses with.Think princess Charlotte style. That also reminds me I once made a lovely little dress with hand smocking before I had children.I gave it to the charity shop unworn.I regret that now.
Nice work Chris,I am sure they will be much appreciated.Lovely cheery fabric too.
Very close to your target now emsi and it's only April.I think time at home has given us all a boost with our numbers.I am thankful to have hobbies,not very exciting ones but at least ones I can do at home.Sewing,knitting,crochet,gardening,cooking.
I made most parts of an age 4 cardigan,realised I didnt have enough wool so have unravelled it.Started another little stripey jumper.

Another card and a postcard to report here, 36/52. Not as much done this morning, but I will be posting the postcard to a friend today, so an enjoyable make. I will keep totting up my makes even if I exceed my target, so that I know what to say my target for next year

Hi,nothing much to say,it's all rather "groundhog day" isn't it.
I have finished a little jumper but stalled at the sewing up.Started a little cardigan instead.
How is everyone?
