2024 - No Craft Spending - I WILL bust my stash and make pretty things!!!!!

The crafting mojo disappeared again, but it reappeared in the last few days. 4 cards made, 15 necklaces and a t shirt for my son. I've part made another as a PJ top, and waiting for a new laptop charger to arrive so that I can print the trousers part of the pattern in the correct size. Now up to 81/200

I have spent about £20 on more crafting odds and ends though- needed something christening related that wasn't "new baby"-ish. Found a beautiful church die and stamp set. And then bought more of that range as it was such a joy to work with. I now have a pair of blue tits sat on a branch, and a lovely village scene. Unbelievably, the christening card didn't sell at my last fair- I'm always being asked for them normally!

To do:
- trousers to go with PJ top
- another t shirt
- a dress and top for a friend's baby
- the mending pile (currently 3 things)
- a pair of knit fabric dungarees for small boy
- ask my mum for her dog coat pattern 😂 
- print out the free vest top pattern from Waves & Wild and use up last bits of jersey floating about.

The pile of fabric to use up is starting to shrink, thankfully feels very reasonable now. It probably isn't, but nevermind.

I love this!!! Have you looked on eBay for button stashes? I might try something similar with my son if we need a rainy day activity over summer 😊

Excellent!  Where did you get the turtle stamp from?

@keepcalmandcraft it is a stencil from Temu on a 12x12inch canvas. I have got a lion, a ballerina and an owl too. Used Posca pens as I have found that they dont run when glue is added. I had so much fun sorting through buttons. A great activity for old and yooung alike.

Love the button turtle! Very clever! I bet it's pretty weighty (for its size)
