It all started with picking out a different color set of stitch markers to differentiate between increases.  I saw something that needed to be put away.  One thing led to another and it snowballed (in a good way).  

Scraps have been sorted.  The ones that were too small to be useful have been binned, as BEB found out long ago that crumb quilts bring her out in a rash and she has no idea why there were there.

Anything worth keeping is being cut up and a scrap project has been repurposed.  More on both next week.
  
There were 10 balls of newly caked up yarn sitting all forlorn without a home, which led to a bit of reorganizing.  More on that next week, too.


That led to some other things becoming homeless.  One of them is an Amish style yarn swift.  It pulls apart into about eight pieces, so a bag was made for it from some "how the heck did that ever get in my stash?" fabric.  There's a few more things needing bags now.  (The lighting was horrible.  The fabric isn't that dark.)


An small orphan block was made into a drink coaster for The Void (craft room).  


This cross stitch finish was made into a little pillow...minus the embroidery border.


The stitching on this one was finished and made into another pillow.  Both have been tucked away until summer.  Newly made ornies are kept in the same place, until they're ready to go out.  They joined a recently finished Halloween ornie, which I'd forgotten had been finished.


All four sides are sewn together and a slit is cut in the back of ornies for turning out and stuffing.  The fabrics for these two I made yesterday all came from the scrap box.  The more that's used, the less that needs to be trimmed. 😉  The holes were ladder stitched, flowers and leaves were cut out from dies.  Fusible webbing is ironed on before cutting.  A quick way to cover up the stitching.


A pouch for my Addi Turbo interchangeable needles and cords was made using another couple of scraps.  The zipper needs some bling.  


The inside.  


Some quilting projects were unkitted.  This one was started.  Four hearts have been traced onto fusible webbing.  No idea how big it will be.  It depends on when the fabric runs out.


The buttons for Miss Mary Mack arrived.  Which have given me an idea for another (totally unconnected) project.  

This is just the tip of the squirrelberg.   I have no idea what will be next.

  1. My, you've been busy! Love the "depends on when the fabric runs out" - the "tip of the squirrelberg" - and the buttons - ;))
