Stash Bash

By on March 29, 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.   


All of my projects this week are secret which makes it hard to get pictures sometimes.  These are all for Easter baskets this year.  Last year all my kids wanted these but I was so busy with orders to make them for others that I never got around to making them any.  I think they will be surprised since they have no clue they will be receiving these.  Thankfully my felt stash is holding out.  I have about half more to make and then I need to finish the chick (er robbin) baskets.

I have so much to do right now, I want to get these ideas done too.  I honestly have no idea where they came from, I saved the pics last year to my computer so have no source but maybe it will serve as inspiration.


aren’t these darling?  Look pretty easy to make from felted sweater scraps


this yoyo chicky has stolen my heart!

I need to speed it up if I am going to finish since I need to get started on Easter dresses for this year but my sewing room is under seige and pretty much unuseable right now…. wish me luck. Now I need to get back to farm chores.


Oh, please come by tomorrow for the Friday Meatless Meal Linkup.  I will be making the easiest and so yummy recipe to use up all those eggs that some of us may be drowning in.  

So what did you get done this week, I can’t wait to see!   I love every one of your projects and hopefully you will join me this week.  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?     

P.S.  Its so nice to hear from other stash bashers so if you visit some of the links don’t forget to leave them a quick little comment.

Stash Bash

By on February 2, 2012 in Sewing and Crafts, 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.
