Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an

Getting Naked A.K.A. Why I Stashbust

-
It's that time of the year again. Stashbusting September.  **Haven't signed up? Do so HERE because only blogs taking the Stashbusting Pledge are eligable for the prizes**

I absolutely love crafting, but I have a bit of a problem. 

You see I LOVE buying crafting supplies. I love shopping for fabric, and I love planning all of these amazing projects in my head, but I rarely get around to actually making everything I set out to make. Then this happens.... 

It kind of makes me queasy just looking at it. the thing is I haven't even photographed the stacks of semi-sorted thanks to THIS tutorial fabric.


What does your craft room look like? Is this why you are stashbusting? Is it an opportunity to get organized as well?


Lastly what is the one project you hope to get done this Stashbusting September?


I can not wait to hear what you all have to say.

I joined Stashbusting September because my sewing room looks like yours and I like you have more ideas and stuff than I could finish in a lifetime. So I am hoping this will make a dent in it and motivate me to finish some projects.

As well as being a chocoholic, I'm also a fabricoholic. I accumulate fabric at a much faster rate than I can ever hope to use it. I'm hoping Stashbusting September will allow me to use lots of my stash, so I can shop guilt free in October:-) :-) :-)

I'm hoping to:
- repurpose an old hessian (burlap) wallhanging
- make a few bags
- sew a couple of skirts and dresses

I too have issues with fabric and crafting supply purchases! I try and justify it by buying the clearance and mark down items, but my Stacy has grown! My craft room looked like yours, but I was able to organize it at the beginning of the summer. I want to try and knock out lots of projects this month and use up some of my stash!

I love this idea of Stashbusting! My studio was a mess until yesterday when I took the time to organize it-yet again. I just wish it would stay that way.

I just started my first Stashbusting project yesterday and I hope to get many more done by the end of the month.

Thanks for the inspiration and motivating me to do this!

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks! I took this old wood and my hubby's handy dandy saw and cut them into my desired lengths!.. I love power tools!  So if you would like to make some of these fun decorations here is what you need! Ingredients wood blocks scrapbook paper cut into small strips red, white and blue paint Mod Podge craft glue jewels Start by cutting your wood into blocks.  Paint the top block red, the second block white and the last block blue.

If you are visiting this party I know you are up for a good challenge. Please sign up for Stashbusting September . You know you have some stash to bust! It's time for Upcycled Awesome, your green linky party dedicated to upcycled crafts and more.  As always you have until Saturday at Midnight to post your upcycled project. It was Sunday, but I think you can get your linky on and call it a day sooner. You guys do rock. Upcycling is taking something you already have, something rescued from a thrift store, garage sale, or even your neighbors garbage and making it into something new. For more information on upcycling check out this post . Here are a few of my favorites from last week. If you are featured please do not forget to grab a button. I just discovered Freckled Laundry , and boy am I loving this website. She offers five uses for that old pair of tights that you spent $12 on and can no longer wear (she had twins, my excuse would be too much ice cream). Knit S
