Stash Busting 2017 - I WILL use my mountains of craftstash before buying more!

I've been working on some congratulations new baby cards. I've managed to use a whole panel of Aida and plenty of threads I have from left over projects. I have all the cards/envelopes to complete them too so when I've finished them I will be 5 projects down for the start of 2017! I'm hoping to use my wool to crochet some baby booties to go with them!

Happy Stashbusting everyone x

I have sewn another journal today. This too was made up of basically scrap paper.

Still no closures for them - but it's nice to have something that I can work in agian later.

Planted a bulb I'd got for chrimbo. Counted as it was in the craft room on the desk as it was a Christmas gift. I need to figure out a pot to grow this in.

I've had a mini clear out too. The total is up to 18. Still slow - but it's a start.

The next plans involve

1. Assemble another journal
2. Source a silver smith course. I got cash for Christmas towards one.
2. Get sewing machine fixed. (Not a no spend) but it needs doing.
4. Get a mood book made - and start using it for house ideas.

Hello!

I'd like to join in. My stash, if I am honest, is out of control. I am in the middle of crocheting a blanket for my son's bed using yarn that I already have.

I'm aiming for 12 completed projects.

Morning all, welcome to all the new stash users.

Made a good start so far this year on Celtic Christmas, I will need to buy beads for it but everything else was already in my cupboards

I've assembled another journal. And will be doing more. Its not completed - I still need to make a closure for it - but I'll add it to the pile for those.

The rest of the list I've added kind of needs a weekday. But I will get there.

I'm glad people are staying motivated.

This may be a link to photobucket. This is the journal I made for the silver smithing course. Possibly at the end of last year - but this is a test run for the pictures.

I have yet completed any of the things on my list. however I have cut up a load of scrap card etc into tags to use up. I've made over 100 tags etc - but I'll count it as 20. 39 / 500

That cross stitch is incredible. they must take so much concentration.

I have. I use a simple pamphlet stitch. it's a great way to use up stashes of paper.
