Stash Busting 2015 - I WILL use my mountains before buying more!

Birdie85

I'll post a photo tonight. Turns out it's ever so slightly too big (boo!) but I'm still pleased with myself! It was a really chunky wool that I used so came together really quickly! My MIL taught me a little bit then I went to a craft group (ahhh, I miss maternity leave when I had the time for these joyful things!) that taught me a little more. I made a scarf before Christmas but it sadly unravelled after 3 wears!

I've made another 10 cards using started topper sheets and kits

Glad to report 1 make complete, pom pom rug using all my wool up. Will post pics later, now just need to keep the cats of it.

Can I join too! Starting with a total of 50 - I have an entire room full of unused stuff - fabric, cross stitch stuff, jewellery/beads, decopatch.. etc! just need the motivation to do something with it, and there seems no sense in buying expensive greetings cards when I can just make them instead!

My crochet headband. It's really difficult to photograph and looks a bit daft but there's a bow on the front that really does look better IRL.

Very cute decoration Pixie, also have this to use, was thinking of making a card with mine. Have started two more cards - one has to be finished by tomorrow too!!

Hi all,


rosie51 - I love pom pom rugs. I was thinking only the other day that I might make one using all the wool I have in craft room Have you got a picture I can drool over?


birdie85 - love the headband. The colours are fab and the bow at the front is brilliant


clodagh trubble - hope the card making goes well and you finished in time


I actually haven't managed to make anything else today yet but I have been sorting through some of my craft cd's and have listed 35 as a job lot on facebook to try and destash. By getting them out of my craft room I even have an empty shelf on my bookcase However I also have lots of CD's which weren't able to fit on the bookcase before so at least now I have slightly fewer on the floor than before I won't count the CD's in my total until they actually leave my house


Keep up the excellent work fellow stash busters

Hello and welcome Magpied


This thread is great for motivation so hopefully it will help


I'm sure we are all looking forward to seeing your creations


Good luck on your stash busting quest

Another 5 off the total; I had to make a birthday card last night so made 4 more whilst I had everything out. Wouldn't have normally done that without this challenge spurring me on.
