    5-12. Prayer Boxes for order
    13. Fairy Jar for order
    14 & 15 - Earrings (also used some card stock by mounting them all pretty)

    Happy stash busting :)

    Hi all, new forum member but long time lurker!

    Would love to join in this year. My stash is getting beyond a joke!

    I would like to aim for 12 projects. I have a cross stitch disney picture for a friends little one on the go at the minute and have at least 5 other projects planned!

    Jellie, it comes in fits and starts.
    I've started another (different) crochet blanket, but I don't think I can count it as stash as I bought the wool specifically for it - even although I bought it in September!
    I was in the Range today and I didn't buy anything - unless 3 wee rolls of Christmas washi tape (price 50p) counts :(

    Please forgive me for i have sinned.

    I went to a hospital appointment in london and outside they have a fabric stall.Plain cotton is only £1.50 a metre.Usually its about £4.99 in the shops.

    im not going again so thats my excuse and im sticking to it ��������

    I thought you count projects made without buying stash.I can't decide what to count now.

    I have made a project from a kit i brought last year. So thats my 1/20
    Comping for christmas x
    Thankyou to all posters:D
