Stash Bash

By on February 2, 2012 in Sewing and Crafts, Stash Bash

I’ve never met a crafter without a stash of some kind. This year my goal is to use up all the craft supplies I have spent money on that are taking up mental and physical space in my life.  Join me here every Thursday for a Stash Bash.  

So so busy getting ready for Olivia’s party on Saturday, won’t you stop by on Sunday to see how it went?

This week I did manage to sneak in a stash buster that was not party related though she may end up wearing it to the party.  I few years ago, I made up some super easy and fast felt bows and every time my girls wore them I got compliments.  That turned into making for my shop at Farmers Market and Etsy which of course burned me out on them and so I stopped making them.  My girls were in dire need of something to put in their hair so I pulled out my wool felt basket and made a few.  These are a great use for those strips and bits of wool felt (or any felt) and they are so easy you can make them in every color of the rainbow.

I will post the tutorial on Tuesday in case anyone else wants to make some, I promise, you can make one too.

So what did you get done this week, I can’t wait to see!   I love every one of your projects from last week, you all inspire me!   Thanks for stopping by this weeks Stash Bash. Below is the linky list for you to add your project. 

Here’s what to do. There are no rules. 
Just use what you have and try to not buy new supplies, unless you need it to complete a project that you are making from stuff you already have in your stash. 
Take a picture of your project or progress and blog about it or post a picture to flickr.
Then come back here on Thursdays and post a link to your post.
Don’t forget to link back to the Stash Bash so others can find us and get encouraged too.
Fair enough?

Stash Bash

By on January 26, 2012 in crochet, Stash Bash

I’ve never met a crafter without a stash of some kind. This year my goal is to use up all the craft supplies I have spent money on that are taking up mental and physical space in my life.  Join me here every Thursday for a Stash Bash. 

I was hoping to have post up by sun up but my model fell asleep super early yesterday and did not want to wake up until 9 AM today.  Next week I promise to have the Stash Bash posted by the time the sun wakes up.  

This week I am sharing another crochet project.  I have been working on more fun projects but they are all for Livie’s birthday party next Saturday so I can’t show you just yet but I will give you a hint…the theme is Candyland.

This pair of keyhole flats is a pattern I wrote about 2 years ago when Livie started to walk.  I made them for a friends little toddling girl and they aren’t much of a stash bash because they take up so little yarn.  They are made of bamboo silk yarn and are lovely to feel.  I usually like to buy antique buttons when I make these but since I have to use stash materials I used these little clear buttons that I saved years ago from a little shirt which went into the rag bag.  Do you save buttons or elastic from clothing that is getting tossed?

So what did you get done this week, I can’t wait to see!   No projects to share yet?  Take a picture of your stash and some of your plans for your stash and post that!  Below is the linky list for you to add your project.
