It Begins! ...sort of.

Well, my shop is up and running, and there are Things To Buy. That's the good news. The not-exactly-bad-but-not-good-either news is that I do not have anything for the Challenge yet.
I'm working on something that I will count as next week, as I really only spent about an hour on it this week.

Also, tomorrow I get to take some money and go shopping for proper supplies and such. These do not count against the "Only use your stash" rule, because it is things like tools and displays, not crafting bits themselves. Mum will be very happy if I buy my own pliers and dikes.

So stay tuned. Hopefully there will be something of note by next week!

The Challenge

Hello, all. For the purposes of this blog, my name is Elspeth. It's not exactly my real name, and I have other screen names, so please don't get confused. If I've sent you this link, yes, this is me.

So I had a crazy idea- which I basically stole from a million other people. Yes, this is one of those "so many things in such and such a time" blogs. My challenge as it stands is to create one new project per week, and list it on my Etsy shop. Now, I haven't yet got my shop up and running, so I can't do much listing, but I've already made a project and have just inherited a bag of vintage hats to sell, so things should be interesting before I start listing other items.

I have no set start date as yet- right now I'm neck deep in musical rehearsals, but I plan to start before the show's over. Just keep nagging me if I haven't started.

Oh yes, the secondary challenge- almost forgot. I further challenge myself to make said projects out of items already in my stash. I haven't added this in the primary challenge, because I know at some point I'll need a certain thread or some snaps or something and have to go buy them. But I'll muscle through without them for as long as possible.

Am I crazy? Only time will tell.
