Finished my first project of 2020: Kitty cat toy for a baby. A very simple and quick little sewing project just to jump start my year of crafting. :heart:

That does post a smaller image but it’s not a clickable thumbnail that leads to a bigger photo?

Ok, I tried gg’s seahorse and it does open up. Nice!

Cute teething ring, rlynn!

Those are great journal covers, Reinikka! I love the fabrics you used, especially the math one.

I made four hanging baskets to hold our Winter accessories that are currently in use ('cause you know I also have a big bin of handmade hats and scarves). These just hang on the same pegs as our coats, keeping hats/scarves/mittens organized and off the floor (and away from a dog that would happily eat them).

My boys are finally getting baptized, so the one who doesn’t have a jewelry phobia gets a handmade jade rosary. My other kiddo gets a wooden rosary - no metal, no problem.

The math and letter ones I’ve been oogling (like some others as well) as they were snatched up so quickly in the ebay sale. I never even saw them!

Just finished my second LGT swap item, third is almost done too!

I did these for years at Craftsters and aced it 3 years running but about 6 yrs ago I got sick…then stayed sick, (yay fibro :neutral_face:) and slowly just couldn’t keep up.
I am working hard to reclaim my motivation and drive and to feel more like me.

So I am going to try again

List soon to come

This along with the other craft a longs arr going to be my jam this year! Right now I am eorking on my first project that I started this year. Its a shrug for myself. I love the colors, they feel vintagie to me. Now mind you, the key word here is “started” in 2020. I finished a sweater I started last year and have a ton more wips to go! Lol

This is a great one! I’ve been debating if I can justify keeping books I have ogled and drooled over but as yet not made anything from them. Real estate is at a premium right now, I better get crafting’ if I’m justifying keeping them.

I had that goal for several years…finally, when I moved last year, I took all the books that I never used and donated them to a recrafting store…it was freeing! Most of the books I have now are knitting or crocheting that you can use over and over…it is a good goal!

I have a very small selection of books, I too donated all that I wasn’t making from & have the goal to use the rest more frequently. I did just order an embroidery book but that’s a craft I’m hoping to focus on more this year. I’m a non-monogomous crafter, sort of dabling in everything. I’m hoping to refine what I do, go deeper in a couple most-loved things rather than being spread thinly over the entire crafting universe.

I have been a craftster member for years, but I have never been active, so what better time than a new year to change that and finally start posting… it took a new platform too, but hey, here we are ;).

I guess 50 projects is a recipe for failure in my case :sweat_smile:, so I’m going to limit myself to finish at least 12 projects this year. 1 project per month seems at least doable ;).

And also completely following @jemimah to stash bust for once and for all and not buy anything new (or at least try… we all know how that mostly turns out :roll_eyes:).
