I've made another quick card using a topper I have had for donkey's years  

I found a pile of toppers and backing papers whilst I was tidying the spare room for Christmas guests so I am going to focus on trying to use them all up so I can get the drawer empty ready for when daughter moves back home after Uni as it is most likely going to turn into her room.

I'm up to 7/2024 makes now

Woe is me!
A dull miserable day here so I have managed to spend about £50 online- more doggy  & Christmas fabrics-whole metres, 1/2 metres & fat quarters, plus 3 balls of Goldfingering from 2 different suppliers. Telling myself it is all cheaper now-, well it is a bit cheaper! the real bargains had gone already.....

Please note my target is not 400! It is as many as possible which may (or may not !) be the same thing.......

Next week I hope to be able to total up just how much I raised last year for the charity. I'm thinking about £300

Hi everyone, I will properly join the challenge this year and give myself a target of 100. I am always busy but have no idea how many things I do in a year. Some things take me only an afternoon but other things especially my knitted stuff can take up to 2 months. So 100 is just a wild guess.

Years ago I added a little label at the bottom that appears on every post. Can't even remember what it's called. I'd be really grateful if anyone could remind me how to do that.

@craftingmad I am so sorry to hear of your sad news at Christmas. Thinking of you ❤️

Happy crafting xx

I keep getting error messages when I try and add a photo but I found a skein each sparkly red and sparkly white yarn so made a hat with a pompom. It's a bit Where's Wally meets The Grinch but never mind! I think I could make at least another one with what I've got left.

If you look on YouTube for Sentro knitting machines (other brands are available ) you should get a good overview. I'm desperate to knit, I just don't have the patience for it. Made a beanie hat in an hour at the weekend 😅

I’ve got a cheap version of the Sentro. Plan on making some hats for shelters. There are some videos on YouTube I plan to watch to help me. Wish me luck!! Won’t be doing it for a while yet as just, this evening, started making multi colour granny squares for a winter jacket for me.

Welcome plumduff and thank you x

I am quite lucky as I don't usually have the patience for long projects so if I put my mind to it and find time I can usually knock out quite a few things each day - whether I do or not is another matter though as it appears I get distracted quite easily  

Whatever you make with your stash is a bonus and the rules are very lax in this challenge so whatever happens you will succeed in my eyes - promise  

To get the little bit at the bottom of your posts you go into My profile (right hand side of screen in quick links) and you have the option to add a footer. Just type whatever you would like, save it and it will appear each time you post. If you need any help just shout me and I can talk you through step by step.

Happy crafting x
