2017 100 Thing Challenge

I have done it again. I have accumulated enough craft supplies for two lifetimes. Time to make some seriously cool stuff from my stash.

In the past I only hoarded yarn, fabrics and beads. Now I hoard mixed media art supplies too. I want to make 100 things from my awesome collection of stuff. I am inviting you to join me in making 100 things from your stash too. You can do it, I know you can!

The rules are simple:

1. Use only items from your stash (I am making an exception for all manner of glues and double sided tapes but don't buy any more washi ...you know who you are)
2. Keep a list or pictures to show me. You can post to my Facebook Page. Each post will earn you an entry into a giveaway of selected items I make during this challenge. Or leave a comment here or on the video for other chances to win. I will draw for a winner when when I complete my own challenge.
3. Sell, keep or gift what you have made.
4. All stashes welcome! Hoarding bottle caps? Use 'em up! Crochet thread? Doilies! Yarn? Hats, scarves, blankets, dolls! Fabric? Quilts, clothes, gift bags! Beads? Bracelets, necklaces , earrings! Paper? Junk journals, cards, bookmarks!

On the top of my blog there is a page labeled 100 thing challenge 2009-2010. Visit it to see what I made in the past.

Please tell all your craft supply hoarding friends to come join the fun.

My Mess Part 2 - Life is so Strange and so am I

I forgot to show some things last time. You can fast forward through the flea market stuff if you read yesterday's post. Or not.

Is it Bragging if you know you make COOL STUFF?

I make cool stuff. I know this. You know this.  Is it bragging if I say it? Oh well.

Presented for your viewing pleasure...

Making Something Cool from Something Decidedly UNCOOL

It's my super power. I make stuff. I make cool stuff. I can't help, it I just do. Here's something cool I filmed today.

FOTD Day Five a Bunch of Stuff

The ever present penny found on the sidewalk near the Carle building on Fairchild. Avon ribbon pin and a silk flower petal from alley near Vermilion, nail from street, cork for yesterday's bottle (I hope it fits) and a puzzle piece from Goodwill parking lot. Meaningless drivel but somehow compelling. I shall make my art and be happy.

Dominoes n Stuff

Working on some new stuff and LOVING IT! I think I will be opening a new etsy shop for them eventually. I double dog dare you to tell me these aren't cool.

Fun at the Gordyville Flea Market

Sharie picked me up at the Chinese restaurant and took me to Gordyville, a big indoor flea market today. There weren't a whole awful lot of vendors but we saw some cool stuff.

Hockey Game for my Canadian Friends eh

This dude was making wire sculptures

Poe for my BFF Leslie

Advertising puzzle not all there but destined to become pins or altered art

Some neat little bulls that came with a chain for a necklace

I also got a Brownie camera for my photo booth and I bought the vintage doily you see here.

A Post for Leap Year

I thought maybe I should post a few words just because it's a Leap year. Feb 29 doesn't happen all that often.

We about got blowed away today...wow... no wonder they build wind turbines around here!

Not much else went on besides me trying to get people to come eat Chinese with Sadie and me. Oh Oh...I know! I bought these lovelies from a gal from the same hometown as me...

Ugly Monkey salt and pepper shakers LOL! Mine mine alllllllll mineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
