I would like to join please.
2023 went downhill for me from March - not a lot of crafting done - Mr F was ill and in hospital for 12 weeks. On the day Mr F comes home by ambulance - my eldest Dd tells me she has cancer. We lost 4 members of our Salvation Army Corps and in December my youngest Dd was hit by a car. Mr F is currently black and blue after a fall on a bus which moved before he was seated.
2024 - I want to aim for 224 makes.
I started today - made a Birthday card for my youngest Dgd.

Hello,
I, too, am guilty of collecting craft stuff then not even trying to use it. I decluttered lots to the charity shop last year but have bought enough to fill the space again...
I shall set a target of 100 items.
I look forward to seeing all your makes.

I've been waiting for this thread to start - please can I join? I've found th decluttering thread great for motivation.
I have a huge stack of fabric and half started projects I need to work through, because they're redundant sat in drawers and cupboards. I also got a crank knitting machine for Christmas and have a few projects in mind to use the mountains of wool I seem to have! No specific goals at the moment, just getting through the stashes.10 -
Hi all,
I hope the new year brings about some positivity for all. XxxxxxI’ve been off the boil for what seems like ages.I am hoping to jump back on the band waggon. I’ll be counting things made, decorated and destashed. I have a spare room I can barely move in a garage of things and masses of ‘stuff’ knocking about the house. I need to do something as I basically cannot move.I’ve just decorated my bedroom and need a new curtain pole. I’ll allow myself essential spends such as this but will be doing what I can to avoid any money being spent. (I won’t manage this - but it’s the overall aim).I hope you all manage some rnr and crafting.Target 150.

I am guilty of buying craft stuff in the sales - but ordered and delivered in 2023.
I have lots of wips around my house.
After I made the Birthday card this morning - I was inspired to do more crafting so I finished one of my wips - 18 beaded pens. All the ones I made before Christmas sold to raise funds for my SA corps. I am hoping these will sell for Mothering Sunday/Birthday gifts.
I had to use a small table to work on as my craft one is covered in stuff!

Hi there, I’m also interested in joining this challenge if that is okay?
I’m a knitter and cross stitcher, with rather a lot of unfinished projects and quite a large stash. My plan this year is to try to either finish or frog all my current wip’s and try to reduce my stash. I’ll aim for 12 projects completed this year, not counting those I frog.
I also plan not to spend on supplies this year, with the possible exception of knitting patterns to use up my stash. Hopefully that is doable!No craft spending in 2024 - still spent nothing!Stash-busting challenge - 1/129 -
