Hi stashbusters,

Well I still havent managed to make anything but my sorting and organising and tidying is going quite well. Destashed about 40 magazines yesterday by cutting out the bits I wanted to keep and putting them in my inspiration folders and today I have gone through all my scraps. They were in a big plastic box and now they only take up three cropper hopper file folders and all bits are sorted into colours hopefully making it easier for me to use them. Just need to find a space in my craft room now to put them!

Hope your stash busting is going well.

Guess what I found! Well, more exactly, guess what found me! Yip. The missing embroidery panel from April! I was getting some bondaweb out of my wardrobe and it fell on my head! Now to put it somewhere safe until Christmas - or next April!

Well I bought some glue - went into a little craft shop , I was determined to go in a little one save spending. I got two tubes and saved over £2 as I would have got it on internet more expensive and I would have filled a basket full I know I would

emslovemickey - I absolutely love the exploding box, I know how time consuming they are

greentiger - your craft room is fab. I love the previous post where you say you have to unearth the craft room, that's how I feel. Im stilling tidying mine. I hope you dont mind but I had a mosey at your other photos too and the card in yellow with new life is fab, its my favourite amongst all that I like of yours
Im now trying to work out how to get a sofa into my craftroom. Its big enough but I have 4 tables in there and two wardrobes. All being used for various crafting

dibuzz - lol at getting the kids to move out. I must admit I expected mine to be here forever and they all went.

Craftingmad - well done on the declutter, I know how difficult it is to part with magazines, I had over 300, 200 have gone and Im on the final push.

I have got some magnolia magazines (7) I think if anyone wants them. I`ll post them out, shame to let those go. I don't want anything for them

I have made about 20 Christmas cards , 5 birthday cards and sold 10 more stamps so decluttering slowly. I have so much stuff its ridiculous as I`m sure you all have. I'm going to sell what I can, apart from my treasured possessions and then Jan 1st, I`m off shopping

Is anyone going to the Doncaster Craft fair. I have a ticket here I won , if anyone wants it

Made a string of bunting for a baby girl - haven't put up picture as it's exactly like the one that's there already, but with a different name lol.

I also made a card for a friend who is moving to work in Berlin

Starting to get back in the groove, ready for World Cup finishing

Been a bit unproductive these past couple of weeks since the wedding, but gradually getting back into it. I made 5 morsbags on Monday, 2 drawstring bags to put shoes in in the case when I go on holiday, finished up a ball of wool by making another 10 squares for blanket, and started to quilt one of the lap quilts! I'm being very lazy about doing things but at least I'm back into the swing of it!

Total now: 404 out of 500

That does not sound lazy to me


Well done

greentiger - brilliant news on finding the panel - bet your glad! Your other makes are brilliant as well. Wish I was more motivated at the moment but I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day.


I am continuing with the craft room organisation/tidy though and am currently attacking my mountains of card kits (I had a bit of a thing for Kanban when they were on QVC and C&C - but after taking so long to actually organise them I think I am over it now:)


Hopefully you will all be proud of me as I am actually managing to destash (although its been hard). I now have a good 6inch pile of various topper sheets and matching backing papers along a few whole kits I know realistically know that I will never use. Think I am going to try and sell them on facebook or ebay and try and get a little bit of money to invest in organisation bits for my room.


Hope you are all happily stashbusting
