Another pair of humbugs.

Finishes 17 and 18

2007-05-31T07:06:00.000-07:00

Two more humbugs, stitched using various bits and pieces of threads and fabric that I could not bring myself to throw away since I was sure that they would be useful one day.

Finish Number 16

2007-05-25T04:34:00.000-07:00

A pinky-lilac braclet made using cats eye beads and delicas from my stash.

Finished 19th March 2007.

Finish Number 15

A tiny pink humbug, stitched using a hand-dyed thread from my stash and a tiny piece of left over fabric which I could not bear to throw away. This was my first every attempt at a humbug but I doubt it will be my last since they are a great way to use up threads & fabric and will make great little gifts.

I have a growing moutain of stash which I really need to get under control and reduced to the size of a small hill. So I have started this blog so that I have a place to list all my stash and track my attempts at finishing projects and reducing the mountain.
