I've planned my sewing, but the cards are a bit more ad hoc generally! I do have a lot more card stuff than sewing stuff, so really do need a few sessions of just making some cards up. I made a lot of the same design of card last year which helped make a dent in some supplies, so ideally will do that again this year to continue the using up.Make £2025 in 2025- £751.88/£2025

I too am on with facemasks at the minute nimbo. My husband (barber to the stars, as he calls himself) cut my hair Saturday, so now my snoods don't stay up by themselves. I've tried a new 3D mask pattern with nose band which seems to work OK with my glasses, so I have one mask done, and 4 more cut out to do. I have used up 1 stray fat quarter, and some of a fat half (or whatever it was, odd size!).
I've also made some cards, but they aren't totally finished yet so won't count them yet. 11/75Make £2025 in 2025- £751.88/£2025

Baby blanket finished.
Hope you are all ok. The weather and lockdown are pants. I have done some more work on the Ercol chair that I stripped of white paint last year. Will definitely count it as stash used up when it's done. It has taken many hours to get to this point. I think I could say that restoring/upcycling furniture is one of my hobbies. There are several pieces of furniture in my kitchen waiting for "the treatment" but they in turn require better weather to do the work outside.
I wish my husband could cut my hair! I look like Worzel Gummage!
