This started back in September. I had 2 weeks off work as I was having a new kitchen fitted - couldn't sit upstairs in the craft room while they were working so I took the craft room down into the living room to both keep myself busy and available to answer any questions on the kitchen! I got a number of cards started over these 2 weeks but not necessarily completed 😬
In October I had another week off work so I started digging into the craft room again to continue making Christmas cards and get some ideas for other cards. I have a bad habit of getting everything out and overwhelming myself with stuff and getting nowhere near the amount of cards that I plan!
I've just had my November weeks holiday and this time, I was actually away on holiday! Of course, I took some of my craft gear with me to give myself something to do on an evening if for example the England match was on TV - I didn't want to watch it (much prefer either the highlights or just hearing the score!) so I sat in the kitchen and put the finishing touches to 20 cards that I had started over the past couple of weeks.
Now you may think I'm going overboard. You're probably right, but there is a reason behind this madness. A few weeks ago my cousin sent me a message asking if I would like to have a stall at a Christmas fair to sell my cards. Silly me said yes I would love too, without even checking what I had made. Now I have a little notebook with the first few pages filled with a brief description of cards, how many I already have made (or almost complete in some cases), and how many I would like to have by the end of my craftathon. The list is slowly going down, I have 17 days left to get everything finished so no pressure!
I will be continuing to post photos of my makes on Instagram and once I have finished all the cards then I will post them in a blog post here 😊
