Challenging myself this CHRISTMAS

Well after purchasing this cute Reindeer on Thursday Night I have been busily sorting through my Stash for material scraps and trying to decide on a colour theme from what I have here at home.



It's amazing what you find when you go looking through ones craft stash.....LOL! My craft basket was thanking me I'm sure as I was ramaging through it......some of these materials haven't seen the light of day for quite some time.......months......well actually years is more like it I think......LOL!

I have finally decided to use up some of the Purple tone materials left over from a Quilt I made for my DIL for her 21st.......and that's like 12 years ago....OMG.....doesn't time fly.....how darn embarrassing!

So now I have my material,craft glue and Fiskars Tools all ready to make a start this weekend.....wish me luck................... this Reindeer shall be magically transformed over the coming weeks!

Once I have altered it with the materials I'm going to choose some co-ordinating ribbons,bells,etc....ooh......off to play!!Might take me awhile to cut up all the strips and squares.....oh well......it shall be a fun challenge to myself......actually using material for a change instead of paper....LOL!

Wanna' see the finished project? Might be finished for this Christmas.........or not.......LOL!

 .....these might also come in handy...... my Fiskars Rotating Mat and Trim Set

I ALWAYS find long lost treasures when searching my stash, so I'm hoping you had fun finding some in yours Lyn :)

Your dear deer is going to look delightful in purple!!!

Look forward to seeing the finished project. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with bits saved from other projects - just in case!

I was leaning toward the purples too, as I started reading the post. I'm looking forward to the finish Lyn. I know it will be great!

You know you have too much stash when.... the fire marshall fines your business for having too many boxes in an attic space and they are all fabric. (This happened last week to my brother because Mom was using the attic space for her fabric stash - over 100 boxes).

Don't let this happen to you Lyn.

After all....I had him finger painting tonight.....he absoluely loved it....nothing much this 3 year old can't do.....LOL!
