    don't worry Fleur..I'm worried I won't be able to do what I've aimed for! It's just so hard with DD and everything else I have to do, but I would really love to get back into it again. The only place I can do it is the kitchen table, but our landlord wants to come and take that away (it's hers and was in the house when we moved in) so I have no ideawhat I'll do then! I'd really love a proper sewing cabinet/worktop

    Great thread!

    I only have one project on the go at the moment, a cross stitch that I started a year ago that I haven't picked up for around 3 months now!

    So my goal is to actually get it out and work on it! And hopefully have it finished in 3 months in time for my 3rd wedding anniversary, as it's our wedding sampler

    I'm a bit embarrased... I had sudden inspiration to make a bag out of my favorite top that ripped a few weeks ago. So yesterday I bought the interfacing from spotlight and then started and finished the bag last night I was up til 12.30 working on it... and I only need to hand stitch the liner closed now. I've popped a photo up in my blog if you want to see.

    Right now off to finish the actual WIPs rather than starting a new one!

    Ryatha - The bag looks great. That is just the sort of thing I would do - I get so enthusiastic about starting things as soon as have the idea.

    Reminds me I got very enthusiastic about making a bag out of felted woolen jumpers, and got some jumpers and felted them but haven't got any further - oh well that will have to be for the May list - enough to do in April already.

    This morning I sewed up two of the door snakes, hot pink in colour! Just waiting on the material my mum posted to me to arrive, hopefully tomorrow, so I can cut out the other two I need. Then I have to get some sand but that might have to wait until the week after next when we have more money.

    Mind you the sewing machine was sitting on the kitchen table for almost a week before I finally set it up this morning

    Well is over half way through April, and I have only completed one item on my list, 1 of the tops for 1 year olds. I have however added some ideas to my list to May - and made one top that wasn't on my list.

    I must focus!
