Stash Busting 2019 - I WILL use my mountains of craft stash before buying more!

I’ve finished off another two notebooks so will take more of the recently made stash in later next week.

We’re all loving desks so will wait until after that so they’re not in the way.

We have two colleagues that are leaving and one student just got a job so I will try to make them some cards.

I’ve also finished several other bits of stationery and chucked out an some old dud pens. Managed to make one pen explode all I’ve my hand so that was fun. Haha.

21 / 400.

Need to focus on some small projects for the weekend as I have plans to build a snowman. I think I will need to decant the raspberry gin. Yay. Will obvs need to sample. As long as I don’t have a headache tomorrow. (I’ve got a headache so have taken co-codomol - I won’t sample if also on painkillers....)

I need to take a box of notebooks in. Some aren’t quite serious enough. Can’t be sat in court with a unicorn on my pad - so the serious one only really.

I hope you all have a great crafty weekend.

Hi Everyone,
I hope you don't mind me joining too! I have a lot of fabric and wool to use up before I buy any more stuff. I also have lots of craft materials to use up. I am making a double quilt to use up some fabric. I can make it without spending any money. I have the backing fabric, wadding and I am making up some blocks with squares and triangles. I also have lots of wool for small projects, gloves, scarves etc. I keep looking at quilting fabrics reduced in the sales, but must use up what I have first!
I have finished one quilt since January, made two small make up bags from patchwork scraps. I have started this second quilt.
I pledge to make 200 items this year either in fabric or wool. Reading other people's makes is inspiring me!
Keep crafting everyone!

Please may I join this challenge?
Reading through all of the posts made me smile with wry recognition. It also revived my hankering for a Cinch!

I have a box room full of craft stuff and I've now begun to expand my craft empire to the rest of the house! I have been crafting for so many years it's just slowly accumulated. I knit, crochet and embroider. I make cards, scrapbook and do art and daily journals. I have started and failed to master dolls house miniatures, jewellery making, Fimo, paper flowers and lino cutting but I still have the stuff in case I suddenly get the urge to do it again.

My crafting is not a business just a hobby but a really important one for me. I think that my life is richer for the creative outlet it offers. So whilst hiring a skip and chucking everything in the bin has crossed my mind I know that what I need to do is to seriously declutter and to stop hoarding things.

I would like to declare a target of 200 items for 2019.
This will include anything that I declutter, use up or make. In addition I am going to try my hardest not to add to my stash but if I am overcome with temptation and do buy something it then I will knock a point off my total
