TAKE A BITE OUT OF YOUR STASH - Weekend Challenge

Lake beaches are great too! And you’re far less likely to run into a shark. But you run into Bigfoot on a regular basis, so who knows. :woman_shrugging:

I’m not sure what to make yet, but I found this skinny beach quilt when I was looking for ideas! :ocean:

I have an idea so I will watch Endeavor and craft the night/weekend away!

So I didn’t think I would get the chance to do this and I didn’t think I had much in the way of beachy things in my stash, but… then I remembered this biggo stash of a weird thing I rescued over 100 of, like, 12 years ago. So I found them and started poking around for inspo using search terms for the real thing these imitation things are based on and then I remembered this other cool set of things I picked up, like, 7 years ago and I think one of those will work. Plus, I’ve got stuff left over from a job, like, 6 years ago to kind of get me to a good base to work from. Long story, “short” now I have, like, 3 projects for the next couple-few days!

Good thing the days are still plenty long at my latitude. :sun_with_face:

This challenge has inspired me to finally get started on a project that I’ve had in my head since before the plague! A vintage inspired apron made entirely from stash. I can’t find a way to tie it to the theme, but it’s done anyway, so I’m glad about that! My brain is still a bit fried from Covid so I really thought this was the right moment for a super-easy project.

Can’t wait to see it :slight_smile:

A cheerful apron to wear is an awesome project! Lightweight fabric is summery, plus you can always wear it to prep food for a cookout, or when making popsicles, or even canning summer’s bounty of produce.

My first attempt was a fail, trying it a second time with a different medium. :crossed_fingers:

Well, I suppose I have some rhubarb from my in-laws garden that urgently needs to be turned into jam! And I’d have to wear an apron to make sure my best Sunday dress doesn’t turn pink.

I hope so too!! I really want to see that life sized pirate ship :wink: I’m probably the slowest crafter in this community so I do think it’s really funny that I’m the first person with a project finished & posted!

I’m working on a project to amuse you all. It includes multiple steps, and I’ve been working on it in between my regular Sunday chores (meal planning, grocery shopping, & lunch prep for the week). Oh, and in between torturing my poor sweet baby with Tummy Time. I have no idea what the heck I’m going to DO with my weird project once it’s done, but I decided I wanted to make it anyways. LOL. :woman_shrugging:

Friday morning, I got right to it and produced a needed item all from stash. Then I got the idea this has to be beachy or summery. I could stretch it to include my item, but…

Thank you for this fun challenge!
I finally got to make an idea I had in my head for a long time, and had a really fun crafter-noon with my daughter (and we cleaned the table, too, so lots of win).

My project has taken a couple of turns - some good some less so - but I am still going to try to finish tomorrow. For now, glaze is drying.
