Oh, neat, Angel! What kinds of things are you stashing and what are you planning on making?

I have old prom dresses and weird shoes and ribbons and halloween costumes,hats and gloves that I keep in the attic for my children to play with which they are outgrowing, but everyonce in awhile they play.and they can always use them for halloween. I also have all kinds of cookie cutters. and silk flowers and string,and materials.

I've got a huge stash of candle-making stuff--bits of wax (both pre-used and bits of chopped up candles that didn't turn out right), molds, wicks, etc. That and drawing/painting and knitting stuff. Guess I'm just an artsy person.

Sounds good to me rjsfeminist. Candles are useful and comforting and drawing/painting is escapism at its best!

I've got lots of art supplies myself, AND a doll house that I have never started on. I love miniatures and I WILL complete this house someday. I bought it already assembled but unfinished. I mean well.......

Several years ago, a friend of mine assembled a doll house...It had sat in her garage for probably a year or so before she got around to putting it together. Made a rainy weekend project of it.

For several years, I was able to sell some of the candles at a local indie bookstore, which has since gone out of business. (I've sold them at a couple of craft shows, too...I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or only feeds my creative thing...LOL.) Fortunately, they also make great presents. Very relaxing (and fun) to make, great to give, and almost always appreciated...

I have so many different stashes that I don't know where to begin!!! Tools, wood, old pieces of metal, art supplies, sewing/upholstery/embroidering supplies. My favorite thing to do is to make jewelery out of wood carved celtic designs. I never sell anything, but people get great Christmas gifts from me!!!

That sounds nice, brede!

Wait, different era, wrong stash.

ROFL Addie!

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I read "stash," after all I am dyed in the wool hippie! Glad to know other minds think the way I do!

Addie · May 20th, 2004, 06:41 PM

I read about it in a book.

Cod · May 20th, 2004, 06:55 PM

The book you wrote??

brede · May 21st, 2004, 02:27 PM

Alas, poor brede. She has discovered ebay. I am fascinated by brass boxes. And they are going to be a source of contention if I don't regain a modicum of control! I have 3 (soon to be four) Princes Mary Christmas 1914 gift boxes, 3 chinese boxes (2 from the early 1900's and one from the early 1800's). And I have 3 more chinese boxes (a cricket box, a woven box and a decorated box, all brass) that should be here anyday. I'm getting them for terrific prices, but I'm still spending money. So I guess my stash is boxes as well. A conundrum for sure.

I've noticed I've also got a huge stash of paints, stuff to be painted (flower pots, wood--my neighbor was throwing the wood out from his "home-improvement" stuff, and, since I couldn't afford to buy any canvases...I'm now painting on wood), as well as yarn for a zillion knitting projects, etc....
