@CraftyRach, great cards.

 @daisy_1571, those are fab cushion covers.

  

And I STILL haven’t got my crafty mojo back ☹

last week I fulfilled my new years resolution and learned to knit. Can't stop me now
 Busy knitting elves to raise funds for our community club. You won't believe how excited I am. Who says " you can't teach an old dog new tricks" I have made 10 so far and am practicing different patterns and stitches as I go. I have only dropped stitches once too! 😊

@Soontobeoap - fantastic job learning to knit!  I love those little elves.  I plan to knit an “Izzy doll” before the end of the year.

@soontobeoap, looking at those fabulous wee elves, I cannot believe you have just learned to knit!   They are wonderful.

 And I have not got back to ANY crafting yet.   I'm hoping that when I do start, it will be like a dam bursting!

Hello

I would love to join this group….. I am mostly do embroidery and crochet, with occasional patch working thrown in. 

I have designated this year as the year of reducing. Having had a manic few years doing a masters. I want to get back to one of my first loves which is crafting and use up my stash at the same time. We want to move in a few years time and that means I wanna lose a lot of my storage space and I kind of want to get to the point where I can go out and choose which new project I’m going to do next rather than having cupboards  full of ones that I bought over the years…. 

So I have set myself a target of 25 projects to complete. A budget of £150.00 to complete those projects. Hopefully that’s way above what I need. I haven’t got a clue! 

I do go to an embroidery group that is paid for class with kits, run by a Royal School of Needlework  trained young woman who I like to support. So those costs will be on top of my WIP complete budget! 

Looking forward to hearing all about your makes

No real makes to report but for the first time I used my diecut to cut shapes out of Christmas cards before storing instead of just popping them into a box for "later". 

I wish I'd done this years (and 2 moves) ago! The amount of space saved is astonishing 🫣 even if I haven't made anything with them yet! 

I also started 2 (and finished one) kits I got for Christmas from my mother-in-law. Not really my thing she just saw them as "crafty" but I appreciate the idea! Thought it best to crack on with them rather than leave them on a shelf for another day as the packaging is always most of the space. The one I finished was wax melts so I'll give her a pack for mothers day 🤭

After mis reading the pattern TWICE 🙄 and redoing the sleeves, I have finally finished this baby cardigan, which uses only 50g of my yarn stash 😊
