Cute dress, and the colors are perfect for her. What kind of doll is that? She has the most precious facial expression.

I have less crafting time lately, but I did get to do two projects from all stash in the last couple of days.

A few more stash-only paper projects: two more make-a-wish birthday matchboxes and a bunch of “handmade” tags. The stamps and their coordinating dies are new, but the papers were on hand.

This crazy beauty destashed…
- Lots of leftover quilt pieces, quilt squares, and stash fabric
- A lone top sheet
- A mattress pad
and it will be donated so it won’t hang out in my house!

On Sunday, up walks my co-chair of the Knitting and Sewing Booth at our Holiday Fair. With two bags of donated yarn!
I said no thank you and didn’t even paw through the bags!
Whew…that was hard.

I would have totally scooped it up. That kind of yarn is great for my charity hats I make for our city’s unhoused population. Won’t shrink if it gets wet.

All I’ve wanted to knit this year are washcloths and doll sweaters. This hasn’t been great for destashing because I didn’t start the year with any cotton yarn in stash, and doll sweaters use about a quarter of a ball of sock yarn. That’s not going to put a dent in things any time soon.
Anywho, here’s the latest nonsense - the pattern was for a completely different size doll but I had fingering weight yarn and a mystery sock needle on hand instead of any of the materials/tools called for. Love the way it turned out.

I do as well! The colors work well together and I like the wee cuffs.
Probably should have gone down a size for the ribbing there but I only brought the one needle size with me on vacation. Living lazily dangerously!

OK! This one feels more like a “real” destash! I had a ramp that was built from scrap lumber to move a big tablesaw from Oregon to Montana last autumn. It’s 11.5’ long and 19" wide and must weigh over 100 pounds. A few changes and additions and now it’s a ramp for our aging dog to get up and down the deck stairs!
I also destashed some 1x8 boards for this. Used paint and primer on hand, as well as screws and staples. The only thing I bought was the outdoor carpet for traction. WOO!

Awww. Heck yeah for destashing for a good doggo!
It looks great, and I bet it makes her life easier.

This is great!! Old Teddie-Dog here would like to petition to move to your house but I said no. So maybe I can figure out something similar here for her. Good on you!!

Thanks, everyone! She’s getting used to it, but I think she’ll adjust pretty quickly since she did for her bed ramp and her sofa stool.

The things we do for our animals! Nice repurpose to help your dog. I have a stack of boxes setup to help my old cat into the window.
