2025 - No Craft Spending - We WILL bust my stash and make pretty things!!!!!

10 more cards put together for charity but more importantly I have sorted out the club stash and my own into an organised manner. I have packed up a lot of it for another group member to carry on the task whilst I have the grandchildren to stay. Then we are off on our hols in September so knitting or crochet will be an easier craft during the next couple of months. Counting as 2 as they were so quick.

6 cards made, now up to 71/200. I can see a few more patches of desk!! I managed to restrain myself to buying the colours of card I needed, the gems I'd run out of, a Happy Anniversary stamp set (somehow managed not to have one in my stash) and two stamping mask things that will complement the enormous number of stamps and ink I already have. It was both tougher and easier than I imagined! By not generally browsing, I didn't feel to tempted, but also a bit sad that I couldn't splurge. Perhaps next year I will have made enough of a dent that I can splurge a bit!

@greentiger, that blanket is absolutely beautiful. Well worth all the time you've spent on it!

Made this little elf today. Craft group will be making them tomorrow ready for our Christmas fair. He was very fiddly to do with a strong thread so we will use pipe cleaners to thread the buttons and beads .Great way to use up buttons and we can sell them for a £1.00 each

I’m hoping it’ll be cool enough to sew tomorrow morning.

It doesn’t seem to have been promoted much at all. I’ve been searching for it since Easter and only saw one article from the Radio Times shared on a sewing group on Facebook.

Another 12 cards made, all from the baskets of bits- one of toppers, one of strips of paper. I've used up one sheet of die cut toppers (hurrah!) And I can see a dent in the amount on my desk (double hurrah!). Now up to 83/200.
