2021 - No Craft Spending - I WILL bust my stash and make pretty things!!!!

loopychriss

Today I made another couple of cards, a birthday card and a thank you card.  Still not fully into it, my mojo disappeared, but I've made the odd couple of cards.  The intention is there, but I don't really feel like doing anything.  

I have tentatively sorted through some fabric and pulled out some troll fabric for bunting for a friend and some for face masks.  Might get around to starting these tomorrow!

Lovely cards Loopy Chris. A lady once showed me parchment craft I think it was called. Similar to your cards, beautiful.
I am knitting a baby blanket so that has slowed me down a bit.
 It maybe lockdown fever but I am fancying making a quilt. Will I never learn. The pain of a hand stitched quilt fades with time, like having a baby!

9/75- I made a doll nappy for my sons favourite Teddy bear today. I also finished putting together another t shirt for my son too, just needs hemming (won't count it until it's hemmed).
I cut out a wool coat to make my son (!) which I'm slightly apprehensive about doing, but I want to try to push my skills forward a bit more. I want to finish a shirt I have cut out for a friends new baby first, and do another one for another friends baby, and then I will do the coat 😬 and hope that it will still fit him when he actually has somewhere to wear a wool coat to 🤦‍♀️

Well, nothing more made here, still not in the mood.  I did sit and watch a live video from my local fabric shop, but was very restrained and didn't buy anything.  I was tempted but a little voice in my head kept asking me what on earth I would make with it if I bought it!  If I feel like making anything I'll go and shop in my fabric stash!!

Finished the tablecloth today, 10/75. It was a disaster day today, as anyone will be able to tell from the tablecloth- one hem is on the opposite side to the other. I also massacred a shirt which was supposed to be a gift, so had to recut more than half of it so that I can start again. I've also cut out the rest of a pair of PJ bottoms for my son, and half a mask (because I only did half the first time I cut it out apparently 🤦‍♀️).

Glad these cards were for a happier purpose. Xx

I've made five candle holders. I will see how these turn out and make a few more tomorrow. And maybe paint or decorate these ones tomorrow. 

I need to collect a pan tomorrow form a click and collect order and I will the. Fix a candle from last week which may have dipped significantly.

I've made another 8 candle holders. They were all super simple but I’m still pleased. They need to dry and these ones have already been decorated. 😁😁😁

what I’ve managed hasn’t exactly busted loads of stash but I needed some candle holders and now I have several to chose from. 

Emsi sorry you had a mare of a day yesterday. Xx

loopychris - well done for staying strong. Xx

Hi everyone

@craftingmad  - can I join please? I promise to try harder than the last year  , my stash has grown and I really need to get my crafting mojo back. Nothing made or de-stashed yet but have plans for making a start tomorrow.

I'll aim for 52 (for now and hopefully be able to achieve that and more).

Catch you all tomorrow with an update.

 Hi everyone, hope you are all ok.
 Blanket finished. It is a bit plain so I may put a crochet border round it.
 I found a cardigan that I knitted for myself and never wore. Have started to unravel it.It is destined to be another blanket for Africa.

Nothing to report here Vulpix. I do need to crack on with a few cards and baby gifts, so hopefully this weekend I will get some time to myself to do it. I have planned two of the cards, found some bits in a drawer that would be perfect to use up. Always means the making is quicker if I'm not just staring blankly at supplies wondering what to do 😂
