Finished the scarecrow for DIL's nursery.

Quite happy, although 'straw' is likely to vanish quickly!

Here are the first 12 Morsbags I've made.

Aww that scarecrow's cute!

Two birthday cards made. I was making one for daughter, so made another rather than put bits and pieces away again. The dark ribbon is actually purple although it looks black.

I love these frames, especially the first grand children one. I think it's the way - it seems to me anyway - that there's an extra meaning because grandchildren has been clearly split into the two words.

I'm sure you were asked before, but where on earth do you get your letter tiles? You need so many of the same letter.

I had fabric left after making Elsa & Emmet costumes for my grandchildren, so I made these matching outfits for their teddies.

Happy crafting everyone.

Oh wow loving all your makes - they are all absolutely fab! My little ones want clothes for their teddies now greentiger!


Well I have been making very slow progress on the stash busting front but have made another 7 items. I turned 4 chipboard shapes of owls and flowers into brooches by simply colouring them with pro markers and coating with a few coats of PVA to make them glossy and then added brooch backs to them and also made 3 Christmas chocolate decorations ready for an upcoming craft fair.


On the plus side I haven't bought any stash for over 2 weeks


How is everyone else getting on?


Keep up the brilliant work

Bless me stash busters for I have sinned


I have to admit I have weakened and ordered the Cinch Binder from that pesky craft tv channel which keeps leading me astray !!! However given my weakness for notebooks and buying photo calendars for family as presents for Christmas I'm hoping I may make my purchase price back quite quickly in terms of savings and stash bust at the same time - I beg for forgiveness for my sins


By trying to make amends I have managed to make another 6 Christmas chocolate baubles for me to hopefully sell at my upcoming Christmas craft fair on Saturday. I've also booked another two stalls at different events so hopefully this should spur me on to get cracking and stash busting (and get me using my purchase as soon as it is delivered)!!

Morning stash busters


Although I sinned yesterday I did also manage to make 4 cards after my last post (well I say I made four cards - I made two and my kids each made one for their granddad's birthday - but as I've said before if they are made with my stash they can count towards my totals)


I was quite good as I had originally planned to print out some clipart for the cards but then remembered I'm supposed to be stash busting so used some toppers instead. Not only did I use actually stash (rather than printing out new) I also remembered way back at the start of this thread the advice given to use the whole topper sheet rather than put it back so I made an extra card with what was left. One whole gtopper sheet gone from my stash only another 1000 odd to go what can I say I have a weakness for toppers on the plus side since starting this challenge I have not bought one single topper sheet or card kit so my stash will go down slowly


Hope everyone gets a chance to do some stash busting today

craftingmad you're forgiven
I used up a reel of thread
Then had to buy another the same to finish a project.
I expect that doesn't count as stash busting really does it :rotfl:
