Yes, we're not even halfway through the month, but several of the Crafteroo gang have been mad busy crafting. I say most, as I seem to have spent the beginning of the year making sure that the sofa doesn't feel neglected, and ensuring that the chocolate mountain in the fridge doesn't engulf the entire kitchen.

The first attempt at making something resulted in a small pile of bent wire, a slightly scratched finger, and some excessive swearing. The second make looks promising, but will need to be sanded and painted at the weekend. And so third time lucky, here is what I have made so far. It's a felt flower brooch.

As for the rest of the Challengers, well, take a look at what they've been up to!
The first make was actually posted on the last day of 2011, which is pretty impressive - talk about organised! It's a baby blanket in lovely candy colours from Jaydee:

Phew, it's made me tired just reading through that list, and there are still a couple of weeks left of January. :-)
