    Sorry to heart your hubby dxm - hope he recovers soon.


    Pixiedust and Hoipolloi you are crafting machines :) Keep crafting at that rate and you will smash your totals really soon :)


    I can declare 3 more cards but can only take the credit for 1. It's my hubbies birthday on Friday (and in true MSE style I'm not buying him a present but am letting him watch the rugby on the tv all weekend as a special treat :) ) so the kids each made him a card using my stash and obviously I made him one too. I must be losing my touch as the kids cards are soooo much better than mine but that in itself makes me a very proud mummy :)


    Keep up your stirling efforts stash busters :)


    Happy crafting :)

    I have made 2 more frames this week, so counting 6 items gone due to bits used. :) Wanted to make some cards last night once DS was in bed but forgot to get my stash boxes out of his bedroom before putting him down so couldn't risk waking him up by going in and rummaging around! :o Will be more prepared tonight! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    The lady has just come and collected the 30 sheets of 3D toppers which she bought from facebook which means I can add the to my de-stashed total and I'm £20 better off:)

    Today I cut out ten circles of fabric from my stash with pinking shears to use as pretty jam/preserve jar covers. Five went on to kilner jars of ratatouille that hubby made yesterday, they look gorgeous and wholesome!!
  • dmx love the fascinator and crochet hat.

    craftingmad great news about facebook sale and destashing. Looking forward to seeing pics of your makes on your blog

    greentiger your wedding invitations look fab.

    Birdie85 the baby frames are lovely, I also like your choice of colours ie they are not blue for a boy and pink for a girl.

    Debrak1 I can empathise the frustration of not being able to post links.

    Pixiedust love the kindle case. May I ask what you padded the case with.

    I am slowly making leaves for my wreaths, and I can declare I made 2 more wreaths, one large and one small, count is now 6 completed, only 17 more to go. My progress rate will decline for a while as I need to study for some continuous assessments and my finals in May.

    Happy crafting everyone

    Hi stashbusters,

    Its great to see lotd of you making such great progress :)

    The books I mentioned I'd sold via facebook got collected yesterday so im a further £20 up and 5 more items destashed - yippee :)

    I've also got a sale for 38 sheets of hunkydory toppers lined up as well but she cant collect for another week so again im not going to count them until they are actually gone :)

    I have also been asked to make some bits for my sons school mothers day fair so am hoping this will significantly increase my totals and make a dent in the stash - we shall see :)

    Hoping to geta bit of crafting done today so I'll check in later :)

    Happy stash busting :)
