Use what you've got

Last month I had a couple of weeks where I had some kind of virus that left me feeling lethargic and energyless. I rested mostly, but did manage to put some of my time to good use by slowly sorting through and organising my crafting and sewing supplies.

I have so many bits and pieces squirrelled away for making things with - and I think it's time I stopped collecting things and started using them!

I have straps, cord, buttons, plastic kids toys, fabric yoyos, threads, old clothes......

I think it's going to be a long process - I have so much 'stuff' - and a huge amount of fabric too of course!

So this week I'm going to start with..

Free packets of mini coloured pencils and pens and mini notepads I picked up for just a few cents. Combine those with some old jeans..... let's see what I can come up with!

What kind of things do you have in your stash?
