mothernerd, take things easy - everything will get done in the end.

rufusdog, I like that bag very much. What pattern did you use?

tattycath, thinking of you, take care - mmm I can almost smell your baking!

floreneceem, another super make. You've trained your OH well, for him to bring you found items.

GBSB - I love that programme! I think the right person went last night. Don't want to name who I think will win, in case it spoils it for others catching up. All 3 ladies have a good shout, for different reasons, and I'll be happy for any of them to win. Don't think it will be last night's star garment maker. Of the other two - will it be flamboyance or classic lines?

I have used stash only to make a card for son's engagement. Future DIL loves stars and the colour blue, so that was my starting point. The card is a very pale blu, although it looks white in the pictures. Apologies for my kitchen intruding - the light was best in there tonight.

Love your card!
Since I was last on here I have made orange,lime and lemon curd (all 3 in 1 curd.
I have made cheese scones and due to serious mismanagement of time I have bread in the oven! It isn't due out for 20 minutes!
Think I might go to bed then. And have a proper rest day tomorrow.

Lovely card greentiger - i especially like the use of the inside. I always seem to forget to do the inside of a card. Be a great way to use extra stash!

I've done a birthday card for my brother's fiancee this morning, so my target is upped by 1. Although after the slight fail this week, i doubt i will be buying anything for a while!

Hi all, I'm still here but just seem to have been too busy to do anything lately


It's good to see so many new makes on here though - well done to each and everyone of you. I love them all. You are all sooooo putting me to shame


Florencem - I have a big shot and grand callibur too and I love both those machines Well done on finishing all the padded hangers. You are going to have lots of happy gift receipiants very soon Huge congrats on making your target and good luck for your new target figure Also congrats on soon to be grandma again Ooooooh I love vintage buttons and lace - can't wait to see new make The jeans bag is amazing - well done you on being so creative with a bit of "rubbish". Thanks for the pics of your great cards too - its reminded me that I've got those toppers and kits too and they will be just perfect for a birthday coming up soon


ziggy2407 - I think you have more than excuse to be feeling tired - me on the other hand no excuse at all Hope you keep getting stronger by the day


tattycath - happy pondering I am just caught up on the sewing bee and now can't wait for the final Once it's over I might have more time for crafting Hope you are feeling better today I love cake and lemon curd so if there is ever any going spare.................:)


loopychris - well done on decluttering. I know I need to do this but needing and wanting are two totally different things Good luck with the Order of Service's Your list is looking great and your totals are coming along nicely


kinski - love the button heart pic. The colours are really beautiful. I may well be digging out all my green things soon after being so inspired - thank you Glad to hear the bunting has gone to a new home


susan42 - I really need to follow your no computer rule. I keep getting distracted by pinterest, docrafts gallery, facebook, hayday, blogs etc .......


rufusdog52 - love the bags. They both look so well made. I'm sure you will have a great day at the craft fair - good luck


love2shop2 - happy belated mother's day to you too. I had a lovely day with my kids spoiling me with breakfast in bed and then a treasure hunt to find my presents. Lots of them were handmade using my stash so it was a win win - I got some beautiful keepsakes from my kids and it used up a tiny percentage of my stash What a brilliant present you got - despite having lots of cutting machines (including expensive digital ones) I still love my Big Shot the best. Have lots of fun using it and I can't wait to see your projects soon

greentiger - loving the sound of the foam lego card - I've got heaps of funky foam in my stash and lots of lego fans who I know so may well be trying this idea out very soon Also sounds like you will have a great time away crafting. I'm very impressed a holiday where you will stash busting - A* - top marks for you Loving the thinking on tools - that's how I justify buying them too Brilliant card - fantastic use of stash - I too think I will start decorating the insides and envelopes in an attempt to try and tame the stash


mooloo - don't worry - I don't seem to be making any progress either!!!! Like the sound of the dolly bags but I can't see the pic either


emslovesmickey - wow 8 items - you crafting machine you - well done. Keep up your stirling efforts (I desperately need the motivation) I forgive you for your sins - TIm Holtz is a weakness of mine too (well one of many) PS: I like the backstreet boys too


mothernerd - nice to see you back - promise me that you never let this challenge overwhelm you. It is meant as a bit of fun and an inspiration to use up your stash. I will never ever shout at you or punish you any way if you don't abide by it. Crafting is fun and always should be Remember we are all always here if you need us Anyway your post sounds like lots of progress to me - even with a poorly leg - hope it gets better soon and the stairs are soon fixed so you can craft away again very soon


craftyc - life always seems to be like that in our household too. Hope everything is ok Massive well done on reaching target and making lots of lovely things out of your stash for charity, friends and family. Good for you treating yourself to a reward - and a felting machine - I think I really NEED one of those Keep up your brilliant work and I look forward to seeing some of your felted creations very soon


Happy crafting everyone

As my last post was so long (I really should try and reply everyday to posts) I thought I would update you on my progress here.


My two children came home on Thursday after judo (7.30pm) stating that they desperately wanted to give their 4 student teachers presents as Friday (i.e. tomorrow!) was their last day. Panic set in - then I calmed down and remembered some of my stash. I found blank door hangers from Craftwork Cards and some alphabet pretty papers which I have had for years. After covering the door hangers in the said pretty paper I then printed off suitable clipart images I had bought previously (again a long time ago and never used) and also used lots of alphabet stickers to make door hangers for their new classes once qualified. I also found some blank A4 notepads with kraft covers and decorated these with the same papers and images I used for the hangers. I purposely left the covers with lots of blank space so that the other pupils could write goodbye and good luck messages on them. Even though I say so myself they looked quite good for such a quick make and I will try and post pics on my blog very soon.


I also gave the kids some of my stash to make cards so I can declare a total of 12 new items made.
