2023 - No Craft Spending - I WILL bust my stash and make pretty things!!!!!

Thanks @plumduff55. I hope you have the most wonderful day today. I cant wait to see all of your purchases. I wouldnt mind betting that just a little bit of wool might slip into your basket. 

I dont know what the wool was called as it had a blank label round it. It felt like part wool as I made it up but cant be sure. I am always amazed at how multi coloirs like that come out as pretty stripes no matter what size the make is.

Enjoy your day.

 Love the makes. Especially the baby cardigan, but I have got babies on the brain,with first Grandchild due this year. I am waiting to know what type of Grandchild before I make anything. My Pinterest board is overflowing with ideas.
 I almost made some curtains. I am having a break from them,they are massive. The door curtain is fine, the window curtains are measured too long so I need to reposition the header tape. I have made slight progress with the crochet granny squares for the hot water bottle cover.

I'm guessing human
What about a couple of things in a gender neutral colour to get a headstart?

A friend gave me a tunic top that she had been gifted. It was too big for her and me but I have taken it in today and have a new top. Really good quality material too. Whilst the sewimg machine is out, I have mended 2 pillows and cut out a new peg bag using my old one as a pattern. So I am adding 3 so far. Wont add peg bag until it is completed.

Love the knitted mitts.
Actually crafted today. I made 2 felt bunny bags - to raise money for Salvation Army - they contain Easter chocolates and marshmallow shapes.

Oh I love the bunnys. They are so cute. Did you have a pattern? What a lovely idea.

Hi, I had a great day yesterday even although many of the regular stall holders were not there - maybe that's why I managed to stick to my list and only buying one £2 ball of wool extra. I also treated myself to a tunic top. I never buy clothes there as I usually spend all my money on fabric and wool. Here's my purchases
400g blue flecked Aran wool to make dgs3 a hoodie for his birthday in May.
200g fawn flecked dk for a jumper for dgs3 for Easter.
100g black glittery dk to make dgd1 a hat for winter/Xmas.
And the extra was 100g brown dk - this will make 3 pairs of fingerless gloves if I add in another colour.
And a lovely deep red tunic with a matching scarf. 

I was very happy and exhausted last night but managed to start the fawn jumper. I wasn't sure of the yarn as it 100% acrylic but it's knitting up a dream.

 Cute bunnies, love their little tails.
 Sumptuous colour tunic.
 You are right,I could do some baby makes in white. It's my reluctance because pregnancy hasn't been plain sailing for them.Dil  can do no crafts but she appreciates anything handmade.
 I am still fighting with the curtains.

Wow everyone has been so busy!

I just caught up on 10 pages, I didn't realise I'd been gone so long!

Soontobeoap - I found a pattern on Pinteres. I varied it a bit to put my own spin on.
I had planned to craft today but it didn't happen.
