Wow…when I worked for a law firm I ran a collection for old ties to help a youth group make snakes from the ties…I never want to see another tie…our firm had over 1500 attorneys…lots and lots of ties…
Thanks for hiding the clowns…it is my one phobia… 
In a heartbeat!
I’ll just send the rest to anyone who wants them too, I have so much stuff and things I’ll never use, I want to get rid of that and concentrate on those items that are important to me (‘spark joy‘ more or less…)
I nearly didn’t recognize them as clowns, thought it was just some pattern or another bird…
I was the lucky recipient of the heart pillow and hanging hearts in the first pic — I love them and have them out year round! 
Used up some floral scraps to make a pouch. Done with pouches for a while so I will use the rest to make a notebook cover.
Scraps
Pouch front-machine embroidered the word
Pouch back and lining (fabric received in the LGT2 swap from @crafty-becky
…Now I am wondering why I do not have a pouch labeled “stuff”?
lol since I used up a mish mash of scraps I figured it would be the perfect pouch for all those things that seem to accumulate in my car…tic tacs, gum, etc. I can sort it all out maybe once a month…it drives me nuts to have stuff all over my car and I am the worse at putting things where they should go immediately!
Ok, so actually my husband needs a pouch labeled “stuff.” Got it.
I remember. I love those hearts. I make them and then mysteriously they end up in friends and swap partners hands. Majic love! It is so wonderful to hear that you have them out all year.
One of my joys is all the swap gifts I have hanging all over the house. Though with the new kitten, some items have been put up or been stored under the couch, in the toy basket, moved all over the house my tiny black paws. Magic indeed.
Dang, woman! I’m loving your sewn creations! So talented!
Clearing out more scraps…this time, a collection of fake fur scraps…I made pom poms for future hats or maybe even a key ring…they were messy as heck and I will be vacuuming soon…
The toughest part was finding thread strong enough to gather these into a ball…the thread on the first one I did broke three times…I finally found some very strong thread among my vintage thread collection…it was called “corsage thread”, and yes, it was green… it worked!
There are five of them, the black one is hard to see…
You MADE those poms? Amazing! They’re great!
I would be deeply tempted to put googlie eyes on those.
@AIMR That’s a nice collection of tribbles you’ve got there! Be careful they don’t start multiplying.
I found this formula today for figuring out the yardage of scraps you’ve used based on weight. I’m going to have to spend some time this weekend with my kitchen scale and calculator. Also my camera so I can finally photograph some of the scrap-based projects I’ve managed this month.
I would be afraid to weigh my scraps! I am down to just one large storage bin now so I think that is a good thing! Of course, as I destash my fabrics, I will be contributing to the scraps pile…it is a never ending cycle!
Tribbles! They’re Tribbles!
I thought the same thing!!! OMG have you seen the Trouble With Edward? It’s one of the Short Treks that explains the origins of Tribbles, and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched. DH & I have rewatched it 3 times. I seriously saw @AIMR’s poms and thought ‘I have to make one for DH’s office, and maybe put it in a little terrarium, like he’s keeping it as a pet!’
I seriously thought about putting googly eyes on the black one and then sending it to my sister…she had a similar plush toy like that back in the 60’s…they do look like tribbles, though! I guess I better put them on hats before they multiply…
