So sorry about your emergency. Hope all is better.
I just plugged along with a long term stash busting project while awaiting the prompts. There are always plenty of WIP’s needing to be completed.

I am not sure if this is the place to ask, but I figured I would give it a shot. I am looking for four or five 1" or 2.5 cm wool felt balls. Would anyone have any available for trade? Everywhere I find them, they come in a big pack, and I don’t want to add more to my already overflowing stash.

If you don’t get any hits here you can also try the use it or lose it board:

This feels like an epic destash! Not for volume, but for duration. I have had this set of 12 plain napkins, purchased to embroider on, for maybe 2 decades. I’m not exactly sure when I bought them, but it could’ve been the early aughts.

Nice work!! Good to see it go out of your stash and into use.
I finished a cross stitch kit, but at the end I had lots of floss leftover. As in, almost a full skein of some colours. So tonight I’m going to turn on Netflix or something and wrap these threads on to the right bobbins. I guess I’ve destashed by finishing a kit, but at the same time now I’m adding to it? 
At least it’s not taking up any additional space anymore now it’s going into my existing box of bobbins.

Several years ago, a FB friend needed a bit of financial help so I bought several skeins of her hand dyed yarn. The yarn was coarse and itchy, so not suitable for anything that would be against the skin. I had no idea what to do with it…plus, to be honest, the colors were fugly.
Out of boredom and wanting to remove it from my stash, I decided to make some felted bowls. I made a small one, which turned out useful, so I made another. I thought the small ball was all I had left, but NOoooooo…there are three more balls left! UGH! So, guess I am going to work on making one (hopefully) final large basket.
Here are the two so far:
And, again, trying to use up an impulse purchase of yarn that was selling for ultra cheap at Michael’s online, I made a long scarf that I will be donating or gifting since green is not my color. It meets this month’s theme! And, yes, I still have an entire ball left! UGH!

There’s a basket swap on…

I can’t swap yet until the person who angeled for me receives my package! It should be early next week. I can only do one swap at a time until I get back into good graces, so it will probably be something Halloween related. I am pretty sick of that yarn, so I am probably going to take it to the creative reuse next time I go. No sense making something just because when I don’t enjoy it, right?
