    Pixie, I think even clearing stuff out rather than making something , should count as it has made a dent in your stash!

    Another Christmas card made for 2015 - that's 13 now but only five in the New Year which count towards my total. Still too new to post photos and don't know how to do it anyway! Lol x.

    I did manage to recycle all our Christmas cards without saving anything - I have about 200 toppers for Christmas cards, I seriously don't need any more!

    Hello busy bees.

    I finally got started!

    Baby bunting. I'm counting as 3 (fabric, felt & bias binding) but if anyone thinks I'm cheating, please just say so and I'll change.

    And a couple of cards - counting as 1 each as they make hardly any impression on my stash.

  • I'm 3 crochet pieces down. My little mouse from the other day, a shopping bag and 2 crocheted bathroom storage tubs for cotton wool and bits like that. Counting that as 1 though.

    2 necklaces made. Same as ones i've made in the past, but in different colours, and 2 bracelets to match.

    so that's 7 of my 50! I thought it would take a lot longer.

    Oh wow I would love to join!! I quit my day job last March to become full time self employed with the hope I'd have more time to make stuff with my stash but it never happened.. I'm hoping this year I can find time!

    Is the number the total de stashed items? If so, I'll go for 100. If it's completed items I'll go for 25 :)

    Here's a pic of my spare room. It's a bit more.. Umm, messy right now with the addition of a treadmill and some other bits but all the boxes are filled with art materials and fabric :/ there's a large double wardrobe in there too which is absolutely STUFFED! Very excited about this!

    Hello, kirasia, nice to meet you. I love that room!

    Sometimes I count finished items, other times I count bits used - it depends on the size of the dent in my stash amount. I'm fickle!
