2010 Stashbusting CAL - NOW CLOSED!!!

[MouseCLP]

Anyway after saying all that I realize I didn't finish anything this week and in fact was making my grand daughter a throw and was in the car and didn't like it so I took it all apart. I hope I am not the only 1 who does that. It kills my hubby when I do, he just sits there saying I can't believe you just took that all apart.

 

I do the same thing, regularly. I'm on the third go-round with the Noro scarf, and I think this one is finally a keeper. BTW, It used to bother my hubby too -- but now that he's my ex it doesn't bother him at all!

[lmm777]

I *just* missed honorable mention. Something to strive for this week.

[fc1123]

Yeah I wasn't so good today either got another skein of yarn so -2 but used up a skein of yarn -2. And Mandi I can tally the scores for you this weekend just let me know. And I will do it for you.

[1wani]

I guess I posted too early and you missed it. + 21 for week ending 3/7.

Thanks Wanda.

So far I'm at 0 for the week. I bought a skein on Sunday, and finished a Caron "pounder" tonight. I have a couple of skeins that are close to being used up on my wool eater afghan, so I might end the week in the positives! Must resist buying yarn.... Must resist buying yarn.... Must resist buying yarn.....

Congratulations to all the award winners! I am continually impressed by how much everyone gets done. Well, after I donated my first pair of baby booties, a lady a church decided she had to help me, so I aquired 6 balls of yarn from her. She said she has lots more, but just picked out the "baby" colors first. Can't wait to see the rest - but I'm glad she is going to dole it out a little at a time - maybe it won't hurt my scores to much that way! So, I am -6 so far this week! I'd better get my:hook going!

[basjordan]

Yesterday, I used two balls on my scrap tote. WTD +3, YTD +1.

[PAndrus]

I've been bad....very, very bad.

 

I went to HL yesterday - I needed 3 skeins of yarn. Several more decided they just had to go home with me! I ran from the aisle as fast as I could before too many jumped in....but still wound up with 32 skeins in the basket at the checkout lane!

[PBLKNP]

Well, so far so good this week. I managed to use up a skein over the weekend to crochet myself a cover for my new Barnes and Noble Nook.

 

I'm also busily working on my Owl sweater and the Ladybug afghan (although I've had another crisis with the afghan and may need to rip out several rows - AHHH!!!)...:eek:eek

[EmptyNester]

Tricia, I love you. I have even tried not getting a cart or basket so that I only pick up what I need. But I still make it up to register with an arm full. I don't know how that happens.

[Mandii]

Basjordan, would you mind posting the scores this weekend? I won't be near a computer at all, we're taking a little trip to visit some family and we're staying at my grandmother's house, she doesn't have internet access at the moment:(

Hi,

I am so sorry I didn't get to post totals last week. I'm not getting too much crocheting done either. I was asked last Thurs. to help decorate the nursery for the baby boy I'm crocheting my baby outfits and afghan for. I was honored that they ask me to do it so I said of course I will help. Please pray now that I keep my sanity! This couple are young, 21 both of them, and both have some special needs so they don't have any clue what this baby is going to need, what they are going to do with it, and they have no financial sense what so ever. The baby is due on March 27th and even though they had a baby shower for them at the church, they don't have much of anything for this baby. What they do have the father is against because it doesn't fit in with the theme of the nursery they want to have. They were given a brand new car seat, pack-n-play, and one of those bouncer things but because they aren't Winnie the Pooh he wants to go buy the ones they want. They have not done any painting in the room yet, those items and a few pieces (I'd say maybe 14 outfits total, and a few packages of diapers are all this couple have for this baby. They have 1000.00 to buy a crib, stroller, diaper changer or chest oof drawers, and all the other things they need. But and this is a big but, the money is income tax return and they didn't start their taxes until this past Sun. and they didn't trust the IRS to do a direct deposit so the check isn't scheduled to get here until the 26th and that is an approx. date. I've found a lot of what they need, they won't use second hand, but if it isn't Winnie the Pooh they won't buy it even if it is going to save them money. So, that is why I haven't posted. I will try to post this weekend coming up but we are getting ready to go out of town so it iwll depend on how things are going for that also. I haven't gone anywhere except to nutsville in my own living room. Please pray for this couple and for the other ladies like me who are trying to help them see that not everything down to the bottles and diapers they use have to be Winnie the Pooh and/or brand new. And most of all pray for this baby who is coming into this world without anyone knowing what they are going to do with it or how to care for it. Thanks ans sorry for venting on you guys!

[CLLinda]

I used up another ball of yarn. I'm already at +2. I want to stay positive this week.

 

[PAndrus]

Sue - I think it's awesome for you to help these two. God has a plan for us all - I'm sure he has one for this baby!

[anu-monty]

i used up one more ball till now +1

i went to local craft shop yesterday to get thread for my new project. i had told the lady that i'll be coming for that, but she didn't had the stock till yesterday.... may be in weekend i'll get the thread. till then i am working to finish my girls dress.

[walker1021]

Sue ~

God uses us all for His purposes. Right now He sees that you can help this couple. Have fun and don't stress too much. Think of the joy that is about to come into your lives on March 27th.

[walker1021]

In my e-mail, the notification came that 19 skeins of yarn will be on my doorstep this Friday. Guess that means I may be in the running for my 1st award of the year - a shoot the moon award.

[gshall]

Sue, what a wonderful thing you are doing. Glad that we are here for you to vent to, so you can go back to do what needs to be done. It's people like you that make this world a great place to be. Sending out prayers for strength for you and all involved in this project.
