Hi!
I’m new here.
How does this work?
Do I have to post a list or can I just post as I go?

mellybelly81 · January 6, 2022, 1:03pm

Welcome!

You can keep track however you like. Some people like to just keep track of what they have done, some like to make a list of things they want to make and then tick it off. Some do a mix. There are no rules!

Sleepless-Ghost · January 6, 2022, 1:07pm

Ok
Thank you for answering
I’ll try to make a list then. It will probably keep me motivated.

Click on the square icon under your post so you can find it again to edit and add items as you complete them.
You can keep track however you like, it’s your list after all! I made each of my project description a link to it’s own post as you can see here. Some people added thumbnail photos. Lots of options!

TheMistressT · January 6, 2022, 1:27pm

Welcome! As said by others, track and share as feels right for you! I’ll reiterate @Magpie 's recommendation to bookmark your comment so you can find it easily to add to/modify/update your “list”! This topic gets lonnnnnnnnnnnng!

There are some patterns in my stash(been there fo some time ) that I will tackle this year

T-shirts
Granny square cardigan
Bucket hat
Sewn socks
Potholders

jemimah · January 8, 2022, 4:11pm

Can’t wait to start my craft projects this year

Reserved for my 50 projects list…

TheMistressT · January 9, 2022, 3:46pm

Ok. Now it feels like a new year, because I just put my first FP on my list after giving it its own topic last night. WOO!

poetrylover828 · January 9, 2022, 5:40pm

So I don’t have a list up but I did decide to start noting down my projects so now I will know (if I remember to write them down XD) what I have done this year.

I did two this weekend first up I made a couple masks for a friend and I to wear to a live show for NADDPOD last night. I don’t have pictures of my friends but I love how mine turned out. I used some iron on vinyl and my cricut to do the quote and potion bottle.

And then I had a couple small picture frames and some photos I got from work last year at my old job. So I did want any child would do and made favorite grandkid photo frames with my picture. Again I used my cricut to cut some vinyl. I tried some dollar store vinyl and I think for a dollar pretty decent. (I did share this project with my friends and one said that the photo looks like I’m super uncomfortable and honestly always in photos). I maybe should’ve done a different color vinyl or trimmed the photos a little but I think it’s fine.

poetrylover828 · January 10, 2022, 2:36am

This was my weekend I guess as I got two more projects done.

First a bowl cozy. I wasn’t sure what to get for my grandpa for a Christmas but this seemed like a good gift. Probably will make some cookies or something to go with it.
