Is anyone up for a monthly craft challenge?

10 years ago

Hello

I'm more a lurker than a poster, but I love the work here. Is anyone up for a monthly craft challenge? They had this on another board where each month they picked a subject and everyone made their own project and posted a picture of it. For example, one monthÃ¯Â¿Â½s challenge could be "book worm", where the projects can range from decorated books, to worms, to anything else based on that subject. It's also fun to see the many different creative interpretations people can come up with for one subject!

Here is a link from the other board I mentioned that contains this month's challenge, "New Year New Use" which seems to be recycling an old craft, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=504.0#axzz2sdMPFS80. And here is a link to past monthly challenges, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=174.0#axzz2sdMPFS80

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

I'm up for it! I am bored bored bored. And I haven't been crafting or creating anything lately. Nothing to inspire me. So all I've been doing is working, cooking and laundry.

new:birthday girl's/guy's monthly exchange

Here is my about me. My birthday is in July but since it was taken already by the originater of the robin, I am the APRIL person. It was the nearest month left open and works out nicely because it was my mother's birthday month. My favorite color is blue and I do have a preference for blue flowers. I love Iris, and have been adding a lot of Siberian Iris to my gardens the last year.But really I love about anything that is blooming. I am adding a "fairy garden" to an area outside my bedroom that has sun and shade areas. I am trying to add plants with fairy in the name or with bell shaped flowers as well as fairy statues. I have also added several clematis to my garden last year and am waiting to see how they turn out. I am also working on a garden of pink flowers for my little 1 year old granddaughter. I love bulbs, spring,summer or fall flowering. It is very very hot and dry here in the summer and we have alkaline clay soil. I like decorative socks, bird houses, garden ornaments of about any kind, chocolate,and love to read gardening books and magazines. And since some are talking ages, I will be the big 50 this year and loving every minute of it.

thank you Cathrugg ! My room was exactly the utility room in the house plan & the builders goofed & put it on blocks for the raised concrete foundation we have. DH told them to leave it, I always wanted a room to do crafts in so I got it. It has been a bit of a challenge sometimes with the longer than wider shape of the room but hey, I got a room right! I found inspiration for my craftroom by googling craftroom images & on the BH&G site. Also on these places like AOL decorating, home ideas, Southern living, southern accents, that have some hobby rooms & multi-purpose rooms you can tour. Have fun looking & dreaming up ideas! Bonnie

Anyone interested in a decluttering challenge?
Q
Comments (66)
Moving update ... after spending the summer getting the new house re-plastered it's back to packing and decluttering. So let's get this challenge under way again. The criteria is "Do I want to pay to move and store this?" If the answer is no, it goes. 13 boxes (Trader Joes wine boxes are wonderful for this) to the local charity book sale, 2 boxes of bookends to the same source. One antique, lovely, but rickety cupboard to a local charity boutique for display furniture. Chair to them too. Clothing purged (again) with more donations. One bathroom purged of outdated stuff and drawers and cabinets cleaned. I'm marking them with a tag of blue painter's tape as a signal that it's DONE and that I shouldn't use it. Kitchen blind cabinets emptied and unused appliances and cookware from them to charity. Quick pass through garage for a couple of tools we don't need. Still to go ... yet more books to purge/donate and pack.

Hi, I'm also a lurker. I hang out at the kitchen table, but lurk many other forums.
The craft challenge sounds fun, not sure how crafty I may be
I'm thinking it is not an exchange from one to another but something that is just posted here after finishing it?
I will consider joining, sounds exciting

Yes I propose it's not an exchange, just something where we all craft on a certain topic and then we'll post our pictures when we are done.

Great idea! It might get the forum going more again.
Phish, what if you start a new thread called:
"March project: (theme) , Post your pictures here."
And explain in the body of the post. Maybe you could pick the first theme, but ask that people give suggestions for future months' themes when they post their pictures of this months completed project.

May be I will do it.
I'm thinking:
Herbs and Spices
or
Its Spring! Put on a Happy Face!
or
And your birds may sing...

Suggestions? I just came up with these from what I see from my chair, a pot of rosemary, cardinals in the tree outside, and a beautiful sunny day that makes me think of spring. I'm tending toward spring since this would be a march challenge.

I'm so glad you're stepping up, Kathy! I LOVED the Herbs & Spices, but I'm good with Spring too. We're actually having a much needed thaw here.

I can't wait to get a project started!!! Please post about rules and what is expected. It's winter and I want a project/challenge! I'm not planning to enter the State Fair this year and I really miss my ritual planning. :)

PS: mind if I ask about your handle? concreteprimroses sounds a little harsh. LOL!

PSS: Excuse me! I see that I have missed reading the 'n' in your handle. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

concretenprimroses, sorry if I offended! I seem to be batting 1000 these days.

This isn't a very active crafts forum, is it? :)

I'm not offended. Its an odd name, but 2 of my favorite things!
Ok, I will give it a shot. Phish I hope its ok with you and you will participate. I'm thinking spring first and then if that is successful we can move on to herbs and spices.
I'll ponder it and try to post a new thread tonite.
Anyone who sees this could let other forums you frequent know. I'll mention it on the conversations side of Garden Junk.
