Keep Calm Craft On - That Toadstool Fabric

Remember the gorgeous toadstool fabric from last week? Thanks to a few great suggestions, this is what some of it will be turned into. Not much progress as yet though!




There were a few suggestions for napkins, but being the perfectionist that I am, I knew I would spoil every meal but asking them not to dirty their napkins! So I have gone with napkin rings instead. I am also making a matching table runner and some bunting. Hopefully I will actually have some sewing done by next week!

I found this blog post the other day at Fresh Stitches. It is a tutorial about how to use Ravelry's stash feature. I have looked at this feature many times and just thought it looked way too time consuming to log all my stash. This tutorial got me thinking about it again. Is it worth it? Once I spend all the time logging the yarn, will I actually keep using it? 



Hmmm, what do you think?
I would love to hear from you - whether you use the stash feature and think it is great, or have used it but found it not worth the time and effort. 







And finally, Cuddlepie, being crafty with paint.




Linking with Frontier Dreams today for Keep Calm Craft On.

  1. I rarely use it. But likely because I have all my yarn in a spreadsheet and keep track of it that way. It would be better to use Rav, but at this point I have over 400 skeins of yarn to input. Not likely gonna happen.

    1. Yep, that's what I was thinking! The time involved in collecting all the yarn from all the plastic crates (too many!) and inputting it all - maybe if I have a spare month some time!

  2. I haven't used that feature, but I have used up most of my yarn so all that I have fits in one bin now. It is easy to see what is in there. :)

    I am looking forward to seeing your sewing projects!

    1. You are so disciplined! My hubby would LOVE it if I only had one bin of yarn!
