Destashed to a friend’s little darling, my daughter’s collection of mom-made crochet food.
She’s turning 16 & is over it. She did keep the sushi though so that’s a nice memory.
And teeny wee cuties.
I am having such fun being a weird auntie!

Play food was always so fun as a kid. I would have loved pretending with these.
Side note: The first time I saw a kiwifruit I was in high school! It was very exotic and we were amazed when our classmate sliced open this hairy brown thing to reveal the gorgeous inside. It is really a little miracle. Contrasting to that, I was introduced to durian shortly after I moved out here seventeen-some years ago. Feet. Rancid feet. No thank you.

I bought a durian once, but chickened out on eating it.

Last fall I traveled back to the land of where they have large Asian grocery stores and visited 3 trying to fill TheMisterT’s “order” - he does all our cooking and loves to try all the things. ANYWAY, I grabbed a bag of durian candies and they aren’t totally awful. Kind of icky-good like stinky cheese.

One of my destash projects was finally received so I can share! It went to a cutie so I had to up the charm factor on this simple vest pattern.
Now working on a shawl with fingering weight yarn and toothpick needles. This won’t take me forever, I’m sure!

How about colour blocking? I love this look, it’s so nice being able to use a few pretty fabrics together.

I’ve set aside a few combinations that might work out. Problem is that most pieces are just too small, and I’m not a fan of crazy quilt clothes–at least not for me, I think some look pretty cool on others. Though those big side pockets would reduce the length of fabric needed for the sides, I’ll think about that…
My new (40- year-old) buttonholer arrived, and it even works on my modern janome machine! Pretty buttonholes, yay!

Destashed these 2 amis to a coworker for a kid he knows that has hamsters.
They only needed cute faces to be done, finally stitched them up & sent them on their way!

Those are so cute, @Magpie !
I finally finished my fabric inventory - roughly 520 fabrics, and about 272 yards by weight (which is super inaccurate but you’ve got to start somewhere), mostly in pieces less than half a yard. I had no idea! I just thought I had two small dressers plus a couple tubs.
It may not have made much sense but I did the inventory before weeding, so that’s the next task on my plate. I should be able to do a first pass cull this weekend and then start trying to find things new homes, either in the crafting channel on our work Slack or the neighborhood buy-nothing group. Let’s see if I can reduce this massive stash it by a couple containers!
You can fit a lot of fabric in a small space:

I destashed some orange and green fabrics…hardly a dent, but, at least I did not purchase any more!
I followed the carrot bag tutorial that @magpie posted…
