Hi Mary it's lovely to see you back. I'm going to enjoy using what's in my stash instead of buying new things. I now enjoy getting crafty things as gifts from my husband and I'm only buying necessities. It will be fun to "shop my craft room," ☺️

Oh thank you Lindsey .... yes I’ll be ‘shopping my craft stash’ it’s the new thing to do 👍🥰😉xx

Hi Mary, it was a pleasure hearing from you! I’ve started my Sunday morning by making one of your lovely hearts! And I ended up my long day of work yesterday by making one of your granny stars to relax! Your tutorials are so easy and well done! I’ve started crocheting only a month ago and after having done a lot of nice things from your tutorials and scarves and hats for friends and family, my resolution for the new year is to try to make a pullover! Thanks again for your videos! Take care!

[@FionaODonoghue]

Hi Mary, happy new year to you😊 you’ve shown us beautiful pieces and in fabulous colours and I must say you are very inspiring 👍 I don’t do New Years resolutions and I had lost my crojo for the last few months but while I was on instagram last week I came across a granny square and the colours just jumped out at me and I had to order the yarn, since starting my granny I just can’t put it down😊 I guess what I’m trying to say is that following people and accounts that inspire me and doing the things that make me happy would be my resolution if I made them👍 anyway, best of luck to everyone 😉

[@marymatthewshandmade4720]

Happy New Year Fiona ... oh what a lovely way of putting it 🥰🧶 ..... I’m so glad that you’ve found your crojo 👏👏👏💕

[@rachel.king789]

The little pink heart is adorable. Your Mandala is lovely, too. My resolution is to organize and catalog my yarn stash in a spreadsheet, so far I'm sticking to it!

[@marymatthewshandmade4720]

Ooooh well done Rachel 👏👏🧶🧶🧶🧶💕

[@HANDMADEDESIGNSHD]

My 2023 resolution is want to make new crafty designs ❤ happy new year 🎉
