Project Create & Use or Be Destashed!

Merry Belated Christmas and Happy Holidays! This past week and half I've completed a few more projects: 1. The denim blanket got sewn together and was given to its recipients. Apparently, I only needed to use the large minky fabric scrap for the blanket. So, I will be finding ideas to use up the smaller minky fabric scraps. I was able to use some fabric scraps for this project. The only part that I need to do left is sew the bottom part together. 2. The t-shirt got sewn together as well. (I will need to wash the shirt to get the washable markings off) 3. Using the t-shirt scraps, I was able to create some reusable makeup wipes and a little pouch to go with them. I also turned the unprinted areas into t-shirt yarn (which will be used in the January 2020 box.) This T-shirt yarn will be included in the January 2020 box. I made some reusable facial wipes and a small bag for a friend. 4. I started to alter one of the shirts to create a skirt. I ac...

This past two weeks have been crazy busy with last minute decorations. But, I was able to get them done and the concert was awesome! Project Updates: I finally got the hat and scarf set finished! (And, I got the time to give it to my friend, who loves it!) Some resources that I used: Inspiration for Crochet Hat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l81OdHT52UU Inspiration for the Pom Pom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ilFeg7dPIU When I first finished with the hat, it came out HUGE! But, luckily, I was able to downsize the hat when I gave it to her. :) This was my process. Turns out, I made the rectangle too long. Watching one of the inspirational videos as I crocheted. Finished project! Designed the scarf myself A much smaller hat after alterations. I found that I did not like the "Wicked Fox" novel. I started to read it, but then lost interest very quickly. The book described the setting very well, but I was not into the pl...

For this month, I will have 32 items! I'll need to declutter more items if I wish to purchase more. A reminder to self:  For every additional 5 items used (or decluttered), a new item may be bought or brought into the living space for the next month. Project #1  For this project, I am going to sew the minky white fabric to the denim blanket. (5 items) Project #2  For Halloween, I found glow in the dark candy wrappers. I am fascinated with everything that glows in the dark. I decided that I want to create a small painting using these wrappers. I am going to count the entire bag as one item. (2 items) Project #3  I have so many journals at home that I need to use up. I some times joke to myself that I have enough journals in stock for 2-3 years of entries even if I write everyday. So, I'll probably be including a journal in my challenge every month. Anyway, my plan for this journal is to make it into a bul...
