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 xComping for christmas xThankyou to all posters0

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.Zebras rock0

I knitted and decorated a trauma blanket today, so another one to add to my list.

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

Me tooThis 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!)

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)

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

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.
