Busting The Stash







Mom gave me some yarn stash of hers. I have never seen her with soo much. I was happy to take it. Most of the projects I do are quick. I need instant gratification. * shrugging shoulders*
The picture above shows cute little crocheted Snow Flakes. I will donate them to PTA to sell at our annual "Holiday Sale" next November. I'll put a safety pin on the back of some & a magnet on the back of the others. They can be worn on backpacks or coats or can be hung from lockers or refrigerators.




I crocheted these for The Blonde Frogger. They are so soft. He says they keep his hands quite warm. Have had requests for more.




This a lovely hat. The Pattern is called "The Divine Hat". I found it on http://www.ravelry.com/ . It was quite easy. I will make a few more of these. Some I will put up for auction at our local Relay For Life Event & others I will donate to other charities.



These are my favorite project by far. The lighter colored one still needs to have the ends sewn together. These are for a dust brush that rhymes with "Biffer". *wink wink*. I was never too fond of that particular product because
1. It is a scam to make consumers buy the "refills".
2. More garbage to go into landfills. Reduce, Reduce, Reduce!
I have now discovered a solution! These things work great! The oldest son (age 16) couldn't wait to use it. He did ceilings & walls. I did floors. The nice thing about these of course
1. They are reusable -- washable
2. We can turn them inside out and use both sides before washing.
BTW...mine need to be washed now after both of us tried them out...I know, I know...it says alot about my housekeeping skills, well maybe more about my lack of housekeeping skills. hehehe
