Comments

I made 8 cards yesterday! I would've made even more, but I had to do yet more work (up to 2 days off in lieu now), so had to stop. True stash busting too- ran out of room in a drawer after putting something else in, so need to use this box of bits up!
Glad I'm finally off and running- 8/100Make £2025 in 2025- £751.88/£2025

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.

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 fabricDeclutter challenge: List 312 things in 2022: 45/312
