I have made 3 ornaments so far. Two are knitted and one is crochet. I made up the crochet pattern to match the knit one from lionbrand.com. One can be made in a single night. 
I recently joined an amigrumi group on ravelry. One of the members designed an angel pattern, and it is the pattern for the January ami-along. I started making it today. So far the head is finished and I'm working on the dress/body. I shouldn't say the head is completely finished, because there are details to add later. 
Here is my tarn rug so far. I've used 9 t-shirts so far. The blue one is an Applebee's shirt that I use to wear as a kid.
I have spent $11 of the $15 so far for this month. I bought a set of crochet hooks. I could have bought only 1 for less (in the size that I needed), but I saved money by buying the set. I also bought a pattern off of Etsy to make my nephew a present for his birthday next month. This is my first pattern purchase that wasn't in a book. It's perfect for him. I'm looking forward to starting his gift.
