Stash Busting 2018 - I WILL use my mountains of craft stash before buying more!

nimbo

I'm loving all of the cards. I need to find some motivation...

I've tried to log on form my lap top today to update totals etc but I'm apparently locked out for 15 minutes. This seemed to be the case for nearly an hour so I'll revisit this later today when I've done some housework. Haha.

My stash has been getting bigger too. My mother in law is downsizing. It's nice in one way but starting to fill up space in my house I've been trying to de-clutter myself....

I've not counted my total for a bit but will update tonight.

Managed to change my password again - don't know whats going on with it all...

I've managed to use up or complete 45 items so far... I still have masses to finish. I'm desperately trying to save for a new house - but i also need to downsize as we're lucky to rent somewhere quite large... I need to find a way to be really harsh with myself and to get rid of some of the stuff that i'm never going to use. I have these dreams about the stuff i could sell on at a car boot or fleabay but i also think i need to admit i'm never going to find the time to actually get round to it...

Good luck to you all. :):)

Hi everyone,

I can only sympathise with the stash growing as I have done this on many occasions! I am so surprised with myself as I had to order something online from The Works yesterday and filled my virtual basket with lots of crafting goodies but managed to stop myself and remove them all before checking out I think my body and brain must have been taken over by aliens as its just not like me at all!

I'm declaring another make towards my total today as I've just finished a birthday card for a customer So I'm now at 71/700 so can officially say I'm over 10% of my target now

Happy Snow Day everyone. I'm now freezing cold fter being outside for most of the day playing wit my two kids. We've made a snowman, snow angels and lots of snowballs - do they count towards my total?

I have managed to make an angel keyring today though for an order so am declaring a further 1 items towards my goal. Now at 72/700

craftingmad

Wish the snow & ice would go away now.
I'm getting bored and been looking online at lovely craft supplies. I NEED to buy some! I have managed to stop myself for now but can't guarantee for how much longer!

Think I'm going to spend the day making things to take my mind of the need to buy!

Hope everyone is keeping warm and safe

Its me again - where is everybody else - have I scared you away?

I'm just reporting in with another two makes today - Both my son and I made a mothers day card each. Haven't seen the one for me yet its a closely guarded secret but I can't wait

So total is now at 74/700

You haven't scared me away, just still haven't finished my first project. A combination of too tired to move and poorliness, now over.
I did do a few sqares yesterday with friends. We started a crochet club late last year. We are still calling it that but one of us was knitting and another whittling. All good though

craftingmad

Glad to hear I've not scared you off bit by bit. Hope you feel better soon x

I've actually got my bottom into gear and made another 68 items today. All friendship seed packs for orders but at least I have made them.
Got a few more things I also have to make for orders I'm working on but none of them are finished yet. Hopefully will be able to declare these very soon

So my total is now 142/400 - that over 20% towards my total and still no craft supplies buying in almost two months

craftingmad

Declaring a further 14 items towards my total as I have made 2 friendship teabags, 9 bags of love and 3 friendship seed packs for orders today

So my total now stands at 156/700

craftingmad

Sorry me again just quickly popping into declare two further makes (more bags of love for orders)

So total now stands at 158/700
