They’re about to get tested so we’ll find out
Two stash projects this weeks! “Antlers” for Mavis…
and some shaker cards my MIL and I made.
The only thing bought for either was the plastic for the front of the shakers as I’d already busted my stash of rescued cello, etc.
ONly FIVE MORE DAYS until December!? How did we get here already?
DECEMBER
Color: Green
Pattern: Plant-like patterns: leaves, acorns, flower buds, rose hips, blades of grass, etc.
For: Tying up loose ends, closing doors behind us, preparing for a fresh a start.
Challenge: The thing you’ve not yet got around to or have been putting off. Wrap up a WIP that you thought for-sure you would finish this year, but haven’t or make that idea that won’t leave your mind no matter how many other things you do instead. Use that stash that won’t stop calling to you! Use the oldest AND the newest stash in one piece or in frenzied destash-a-thon! Show your stash who is boss (hint: it’s YOU) one last time before 2023.
Sitter Boxes for the cats in the extended family. All the fabric is stash! Some of it probably at least 15 years old. WOO!
Are the cats supposed to sit in these boxes?
They are very cool, although my cat would probably choose NOT to sit in it if I made one.
Hehe. Cats, man. Hopefully because most of these cats haven’t even met me they can be trapped!
Using some stash cotton to make some random baubles…thought I used up my stash of this size styrofoam balls, but then I found another entire bin of them! I would love a whole bunch of these to make a sort of bauble bunting!
Love these!
Oh cute! Are they easy to make?
Very easy! And since all the ends will be inside, no weaving required!
If you’re looking for another inspiration to bust some stash before the end of the year, consider making something for the Green Holiday “Greens” Challenge!
I’ve been playing a ‘busting game, sort of my own (lame, adulty) advent calendar. Haha. I’m mending a thing-a-day for December and so far i’m 5/5! Less mending pile space means more yarn space, right? Haha j/k.
I didn’t make a lot of xmas gifts this year, but I did make some and mostly I’m waiting to post, because they include gifts for people who might be on LC. Even though the goal wasn’t stash busting when I decided to make these things, they ended up being all or mostly stash!
Even the calendar printables are stash from the files I bought last year that also came with 2023!
Book for my bestie to put her collection of dog photos into.
Gift boxes, envelopes, tag made from all stash.
I hope to wrap up one more gift made from stash today.
All of your packaging and tags are gifts themselves! Love the calendars!
Awww, thank you! I try not to wonder which things get immediately tossed and which get saved or displayed for a little while.
@TheMistressT wonderful fun boxes, so cheery. I do love a good box.
I finished my scrappy quilt and mailed it off this morning. It was all from stash. It did reduce the scraps a bit, but not by as much as I had hoped. Or do they breed at night?
@marionberries That quilt is the cat’s pajamas!
I did another couple projects that relied on stash. The first, 100% stash!
This one is mostly stash. I did buy the files for the tarot and printed them at the office store. But the rest was stash.
The wee house! Swoon
