    Wow your off to a flying start craftingmad . I didn't realise you had such a big target but looks like your on a roll. You've reminded me I'm halfway through making Christmas decorations that were meant for last year �� i must finish all my unfinished projects this year x
    Comping for christmas x

    I'm another one starting off the year doing christmas crafts. Every year I start christmas projects much too late and they end up getting abandonned uncompleted in a cupboard, so I have lots of half done christmas projects. I think working on them now is the best bet for getting them completed at some point.

    Thanks magical. For some reason I always set myself HUGE targets - never reach them but hey ho -maybe this year will be different :o;):p

    I am the same so am also making it a mission of mine to finish all those started projects and also make things I have been meaning to make for ages - that's why I bought lots of supplies in the first place!

    Good luck x

    Me too :D This sounds like a great plan though so I too am going to make my Christmas items now so they will be finished in time for Christmas this year (although there is also a risk with me that I will then put them somewhere and totally forget where come December!) :o

    I'm just not feeling crafty today for some reason but can declare one more make towards my target taking me up to 17/2020.

    I've added the finishing touches to an angel I made for friends for Christmas (haven't seen them yet so hence why present was not finished) :)

    Hope you are feeling more inspired than me today :D

    Just made a frame for an order received yesterday so that's another one completed towards my total.

    I'm now up 18/2020 and I've used up a photo frame, a sheet of cardstock, 12 wooden tile letters, two heart embellishments and a hot glue stick all from my stash :T

    Every make is a step closer to a tidier house :D

    So today i have gifted 22 sewing patterns and 17 sewing magazines to a sewing group that are run by a friend. Thats a huge destash for me as i hoard my patterns and magazines. I have now stopped the buying the magazines as it came to nearly £18 a month for nothing as i barely glanced at them.
    So that's 41/50, so i will up that to 150, so total 41/150.
    Crafting mad where did you get your reindeer pattern from?
