Stash Challenge 2011

Barb, I think you and Laura are doing an equal amount of sewing when you think about it.

Jan those buntings are all the rage around here too, great job on them. Wow you women have been busy!! Great stuff being created! I'm knitting, I've done 6 toques and have one half finished in the past two weeks. They take an evening to make if I sit and knit. These last two are going to be late presents, but since the kids already have their gifts for Christmas it's just a little extra thing, I'm trying to use up the 'single' balls of yarn that are hanging around. I may get a bit of sewing done, but I'm kind of sewn out, I do have another quilt I want to start, and DH needs some new pants for DGS but just don't have the desire to sew right now.

That is what I thought! I really like it!

Lennie, has installation started for the sauna?

Kiddo #1 asked me today for an icepack holder to give to our hair stylist. I asked how long I had to make another one, and he told me 15 minutes! It took 20. Sorry it is 2 pictures, but he grabbed the first one and ran off to get his hair cut.

[lendube]

Wow, Theresa! You are the Icepack Queen! Not to be confused with the Ice Queen.

Yes, dh has started the preparation for the installation. He had a crew come over from the fire station yesterday to move the boxes (only 4 but very heavy) from our driveway down to a rock patio. He's been sawing up the jacuzzi this morning to get it in small enough pieces to fit in a dumpster. I wish he'd apply some of this enthusiasm to finishing up the bathroom that remains un-remodeled after almost a year!

Yup Lennie, I think it is fair for me to claim that title! I have no idea how many I've made so far - I would have to count the remaining ice packs.
I only made one pair of sleep shorts today. I woke with a horrid headache, so I didn't even think of sewing until after 4:00, then I needed to find more fabric. I knew I had more flannel, I just couldn't find it! It was hiding in a bin on top of my cupboards. Sheesh, how did I get so much??? Anyway, these shorts are 1.5 yards, and are now wrapped and under the tree. I found out while making these that I'm out of 3/4 inch elastic! I had to sew pieces together for this pair, as I had already sewed the casing! Tomorrow I will post a pic of something else under the tree, but I didn't want a certain someone to see the pic!

Nikki's Sweater is finished and presented. Modeled here by recipient. 2 yards. now if the pic will just attach.Folks I have spent 1/2 hour trying this. It just not will not work for me. I had Nikki shrink the pics and email to me. I have saved them to my pictures and now they will not upload. I am giving up. I also have a shot of the neckwarmers and the stockings, but no luck at all in trying to share with you. I am now officially leaving the contest. BUT, only the contest. I would not have won anyway, but I did want to get credit for the 20 plus yards of stash that is no longer in my home. Oh well, nobody's perfect as the old saying goes..

That is the point, right Libby?

Let me tell you how I download pics just for future reference. Don't bother with it now. I know how you feel right now. Been there many times with computer issues. You are, if I'm not mistaken, just shy of tossing the damned computer through the window, right?

I opened a http://www.photobucket.com account. After uploading the pictures from my camera to my computer, (sounds like you know how to do this), I drag and drop the photo to my desktop. I go to photobucket and hit the upload button. I choose "Desktop" from "Browse" click on the picture, open to upload it to Photobucket. When done it gives the option of returning to "your album" which I do; move my curser to the picture and you'll see the options below it. I choose the bottom one that says, "Image code", right click "copy" and then paste to my post. Voila! The picture appears when you hit "preview" or "submit". It's real easy.
