OK, I have been bargain shopping and have been inspired...... I found lots of goodies, including yarn, fabric, crochet needles and knitting needles and oodles and gobs of goodies. :) One of my finds included a bag of yarn complete with a crochet how to book and two baby blanket starts. It always makes me wonder what happen to the previous owners of my finds. It would be cool to know a little history behind the partial projects. My mom and sisters are always saying they got too tired of and or busy to finish them. That is my hope. My yarn find was very elderly some of which i have never even seen the brand on. lol. Most of one skein of a color (not many matches except the baby blanket stuff) I think it would be neat to do a throw or a scarf utilizing each. My bestie Ruth calls this a "Stash Buster" lol. I also found a gallon bag of "crewel work yarns" it doesn't look any different just smaller skeins. Some neat colors very "RETRO" but if u know me at all i love retro. so I think i may have to practice my crocheting skills and finish at least one of the baby blankets, just in the spirit of why it was started. IDK we shall see. I have got to get my act together and get back crafting. since i broke my toe last month i have fallen down on my job. So i shall start digging out my work table and floor. Yes i know i just did that two weeks ago but the recent folly into finding goodies as buried it once again. (story of my life as a packrat) I did get my niece Abbie's baby carrier done last week so i am off to a good start. I am gonna keep myself on track! I hope to get my etsy store up and running next week, I am a procrastinator at heart so hence the delay. ;0 I will leave U with a few pics of my latest finds! The kitty is Junebug he is NOT a RECENT find he just likes to get in ANY box, tub or blanket you leave down he is in one of my emptied bargain find tubs. (I sometimes call him junior so don't get confused, that will be a later story as to why i do that)
And as always,
She who dies with the most yarn and fabric wins! Happy Crafting!

I am practically drooling over all of that yarn. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI know. some of it still has kmart stickers on it. OLD kmart stickers. then some is brands i have never seen before. some have F.W. Wollworth Co. stickers on them. I thinl the previous owner must have been a plastic canvas artist, lots of colors but not many multiples. plus there was a big stack of plastic canvas. lol. but u never know if the arrived together or just got stuck together. it is like christmas!!!!!
