Stash Busting 2016 - I WILL use my mountains of craftstash before buying more!

Happy to report another make which brings my total to 54/200.
A top made from fabric left over from gypsy top, there was'nt that much left but i decided that if i cut carefully i could get the basics of a top. Thus with this in mind i made some sleeves by sewing lengths of lace together and then cutting the sleeve shape out. I sewed some more lengths of lace together, then attached that to the bottom of my top. Rather pleased that i made a top from bits which cost me nothing, A similar top in Monsoon cost £59 but mine is a one off and cost zero pounds, just a couple of hours work.
Enjoy the weekend.

Morning stash busters
Knitted another little bird last night
Total completed items now 63

Got asked to make another nest with a pair of little birds so hope to pull them in today. Would like to have all the school trees completed before we break up for Easter.

I found it via Google I printed it off a while ago so can't remember the exact link now but it's called the bluebird of happiness it's only a little fella and done on dpn. I did another type last year it was so cute and had little feet made from twigs with wings and googly eyes, I made two of them ion different shade of blue then at Christmas I did a Robin style one. They are fun to knit and brighten a dull corridor.
If I find the links I'll add them.

The cute little birds with the twig feet are by Katie Stratzman https://www.duofiberworks.com just spotted the addy on the one I printed to make them for the school display

I have 4 to add to my total so far.

Finished one insert for my travellers notebook.

Used up an old botebook - punched holes in the pages and have now added to my Filofax that was gifted when I left my last job. Last week.

Have also completed two colouring pages. I still need to decorate my next insert for the TN. None of them are biggies - but I'll take small wins.

I'm loving seeing everyone's work. I'm feeling very relaxed and am loving the time off before I start my new role.

110 / 500

Managed to down size another notebook insert for my travellers notebook.

Again small wins - but still a win.

I'm loving all of the cards. I need to find the motivation to get cracking to make some cards as I have birthdays coming up.
