Busy mornings and sleepless nights are prevelant in my life right now!  The in betweens are school work, laundry, gardening, cleaning, cooking, canning and knitting before I fall like a block of wood in bed at night.  Unfortunately the knitting is at the end of the list, done in small spurts while the kids pick books at the library, while Matthew sleeps in my arms and late at night after everyone is in bed.

I finally finished Matthew’s bigger sized Peurperium.  I didn’t realize there was a bigger sized pattern available and figured out how to make it bigger on my own.  It still needs buttons which I am waiting for son Eddie to make with his scroll saw but it feels good to have it done and it will fit him for a good while.

This afternoon will involve making more butter and some ice cream to use up or excess milk and cream and I also need to go and take care of  Alexandra who has not been feeling well.  So back and forth between her house and ours and honestly, I don’t ever need an excuse to go and do something for her.  A little secret….I love it when she needs me for anything : )

I think this will be the last Stash Bash for a while…or perhaps forever.  There is so much going on around here that having a specific day when I need to blog about something other than what is in my head is not working out.  I find myself only blogging on this one day and I need to break the rut.

If you want to play along today, just leave your link in the comments : )  See you tomorrow!

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 hand painted yarn from my last post.  In case you didn’t read it, it is Peace Fleece from my stash and I am working it into a new pair of longies for Matthew.  I love Peace Fleece for longies, they wear like iron and even though they feel rough and scratchy initially, after a wash it starts to get very soft and cozy and it doesn’t pill like some other wools.

Matthew is teething and has cut one tooth so far.  I can almost see the other one and the poor little guy has been very cranky.  His favorite teether is a cold carrot.

So what have you been up to? I love to see what you come up with. I have added the Mr Linky to the bottom of this post for you to link up your Stash Bash projects.
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.
