    I am doing the same @nimbo. The room is  a dumping ground but full of lovely supplies. I emptied a lot of the bags full of mixed stuff a few weeks ago but have not got much further.

    I hope to take out a set of draws and put in a day bed so I can have visitors by the end of this month. 

    Keep at it. you will get there.  :smiley:

    I'm finally off the starting block and have been busy during the evenings in my craft room now everything has been put away and all is where I want it to be, finally. 

    So far I have made 2 oven "thingys", not sure what to call them.  Going to count them as one item as really simply made. Nothing special just cut a bath towel into squares and whizzed up the sides on the sewing machine. Great for putting hot pans on too so really useful for us.

    I have also altered 2 pairs of dungarees, in fact, I'm in the middle of a 3rd pair at the moment. The two I have finished now have pretty pockets on the front, I have taken them in at the sides as they were too big for me, also turned them up, and I have altered the straps on them both. I have more than a few pairs of dungarees to alter so I have started on my gardening ones first. I will post pics soon!

    So that's 3 out of 25 for me so far.

    Well done everyone on all of your efforts and great pictures.

    Morning all. I love how we all struggle for space. 🤣

    I have managed another 2  So 54 / 250.

    I’m a bit annoyed. I thought I had a pack of pmc. So had booked a course to learn how to use it properly. Did the class. Made two pendants. They’re pretty. The pmc packet was in fact filled with fimo. I am not impressed. I loved what we did. And now want to shop - which is not the plan at all. 

    Not spent any more so still £22.87 / 250. Only adding to keep track.

    I've not spent, but I was the beneficiary of some free fabric on a local declutter group. Doesn't fit with my declutter goals, but does give me free fabric :)

    55 / 250 

    I have cleaned a brass photo and hung it. Counting this as one. I know it’s not a lot but I have done a small thing at least.

  • I've been battling a cold and a lot of other things needing doing so not much done, but a few more rows of the shrug. £1 spent so far, which seems not too bad.
