I found the idea for Sunday Stash on another blog and really liked the idea. However if there is ever a day I am unlikely to consistently blog, its Sunday. Also, as I am not motivated to be a public blog, I decided to change the idea to work for me. I really like the idea of going through whatever I have to find gems that I can work with instead of always going to the store for project inspiration. I have a considerable stash of both yarn and fabric, in fact I could be labeled a small store if truth be told. (Of course I am not likely to admit that when I'm off to the real store, with all of the lovely things I want.) The point of all this is that I am going to try starting a personal Saturday Stash with the thought that it will encourage delving through what I have. Today's find is this lovely embroidered border print that I had visions of a skirt for myself when I bought it last year. The other brown came from the thrift store and will make a perfect lining for said skirt. The second print is a set of knit sheets, also from a thrift store. I just love the print and have actually had a harder time using it because I can't decide which of the half a dozen different things I can imagine with it, I want to do. I can see little girls dresses, ruffle pants and even a Mama skirt. We shall have to wait and see what it decides to become, but with the new serger it is exactly the fabric I am currently excited about. I am also excited abut two bits of a black and a white fleece that are just enough of make a hat for an upcoming birthday present. They are way too boring to show in pictures though! Stay tuned for updates on that creation.
