❤️ the collage 🤩
Is it possible to keep the thread and change the title to reflect the New Year. I think this will attract more followers.I'm going to work out my colours and make a colour chart for the temperature blanket today. I was given a small wicker hamper at Xmas. It looked great untill I took the food out and the basket was obviously well used . I would like to revamp it to store the wool etc for the blanket. I was thinking of spray painting it. Does anyone have any experience of what's best to use.
Happy crafting xxDebt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order )2 -
I think plumduff's suggestion of an updated title is a good one. I think craftingmad would be able to do it as author?
Lovely to see the collage of pics.
As always, I start each year determined to craft more so I'll see how i get on this year. I'm currently making a mini album with handmade envelopes as a seed holder/organiser for a friend whose birthday is in March and she's a keen gardener. Plus a post it notebook in matching paper. I've also two hard note books to decorate for a friend's birthday but that's not until November!
Plus I have a Lilliput Lane cross stitch I've been making for my mum, as she collects the china but that's been going for 5-6 years due to complexity so maybe this year might be the year. Her birthday is also in November so have time .....
And a hanging wooden heart decoration that needs repainting to match a friend's kitchen (would be a present for her October birthday). Mmmmm, I'm sure I have other UFOs around as well.
Happy crafting everyone and looking forward to seeing all your makes this year4 -
Personally, I'd prefer a complete new thread - I find a huge number of pages offputting, when, e.g. I'm looking for how many I said I'd do and it's page 68 - or is it 79? type of thing and it may be confusing for anyone wanting to join in this year.2024 Fashion on the Ration - 10/66 coupons used

Love the picture collage.
No experience of spray painting wicker,sorry. I have spray painted other things though (metal and leather) and just used spray from my discount store and they have been fine.
I have researched a temperature blanket and am hooked on the idea. definitely on my to do list. When I have used my stash up obviously. Hahahaha.
I have done no crafting for about a week. perhaps it's because I am making myself do UFO's.

Wow well done everyone - you all made fantastic progress.
So sorry I went missing M.I.A - slight family emergency but all is good again now.
Well I didn't manage to meet my target but I am proud of myself as I managed to make 1749/2022 items which I believe is the most I have ever managed to make in one year.
More importantly I really did tame my craft spending and have not bought anything for personal crafting use for what feels likes ages
I still cannot see any movement of my stash being reduced though so I'm starting again for 2023.
Here's the thread if anyone would like to join me?
