Stash. Own up if you have any stash of any sort

Puzzler DH sent all his jigsaw puzzles to the charity shop and now wishes he hadn't as so many are out of stock online now.
I managed to order more but they're not cheap.

Oh yes, I have a stash of fabric! Whenever I make a garment or a craft project I won't throw anything away........I keep every little piece of fabric.........just in case ?. It pays off too because my grandkids love to make collages so there's always lots of scraps to work with.

Two chests of drawers full of fabric, a shelf of knitting yarn, card making stuff, jewellery materials and tools. I was getting through some of the fabric making scrub bags and masks but now the blithering sewing machine is on the blink!

Stashes? :looks at the clouds and whistles:

I have a sideboard cupboard full of quilting materials and a blanket box full of yarn and cross stitch and tapestry paraphernalia. I don’t like to speak of what’s behind the sofa.

Is jigsaw puzzling a craft? If so I had 25 jigsaws at the last count. Some are Canadian, American, German and I can’t bear to part with any.
The scenes cover all occasions in the year like Summer, Winter, Halloween, Christmas and the pictures have been created by artists and are extremely attractive.

No I don't have any stashes of wool any more, I had a ruthless clear out last year. All the old wool and spare knitting needles
went to the local knitting group who knit for various charities.
I only have the current wool I'm using to crochet shawls for the local baby bank.

I do have little stashes of cash around the place though!

Where's my post?
Perhaps on the wrong thread.

I found a nice box this morning when I was clearing out so transferred some of my yarn stash into it from another old box. It made me feel much better, admiring my tidy stash.

Make up much of which is probably past its use by date, and won't be used anyway (seem to have given up on it!)

Really must go through it and chuck it out, however..........Please see my "Default setting" thread, explains it all .

Ohhh yes! Fabric, wool, (large quantities of both) paper crafting......

I have many adult intricate colouring books those ones supposed to be for therapy. Lots of colouring pencils felt tips and those gel pens. All really relaxing when you start working on the books. Also stashed in separate big box is chocolate, loads of it all different sorts . My brother keeps buying the chocolate for me even I have said not to he still does it.
It is relaxing doing the colouring and eating some nice chocolate but I am cutting the chocolate out and replacing it with fresh fruit if I have got the will power.

Hello shysal, I know what you mean about card-making. Whenever I have a real urge to make more cards I 'bag' them up into groups of ten when I've finished them and give them as gifts to friends. I've tried decorating small shoe boxes to use as gift boxes for the cards.

I think I'm going to have a 'bucket' that I'll put all extra but usable bits of card stock in and see if my local primary school will accept the 'stash'.

A couple of years ago I started card making and very quickly acquired 2 die cutting machines, dozens of dies, card and paper of every description, washi tape, various pens, glues, glitter and other products that I saw on the Create and Craft TV channel. I made hundreds of cards and still have a lot for future use, but have lost interest. I wouldn't get rid of my stuff, but it has taken over my spare bedroom and part of mine. I would never be able to have a guest to sleep.

Hello craftyone and thank you for the sewing forum which I can't wait to be part of (have been without tech for the last couple of weeks so just catching up)

My stash is based on fabric and paper mainly but has 'tentacles' all over...
:-
*Several sewing machines (whispering in case DH figures this
out)
*A (real) shed of vintage fabric, mainly curtains and table
coverings, mainly stashed to produce quilts
Anna Griffin card stock
*vintage wallpapers that I use to make stationery folders
*broken necklaces from car boot forays for earring making
*Five flower presses
* cook books, craft books (esp about ribbon embroidery, cross
stitching, small upholstery projects)

I wish I could sketch, paint with water colours, knit and crochet but I've tried and I'm rubbish

Thanks again craftyone ... I spent all of my working life working with words and numbers and have only in the last few years been able to love everyday as a creative day...❤️

I have a stash of toys kept from my own childhood (think Hornby clockwork train set etc.) and my own children's toys-two girls who looked after their things. It's an ever source of joy when I get it out for the grandchildren and has saved me a fortune in buying new stuff

A whole roomful of knitting/crochet yarn and patterns.

Crafting, and buying craft materials are two separate hobbies.

I have a big stash of chocolate but didn`t put it on here as it isn`t art or craft

Stash for crochet
Stash for patchwork.
Stash for scrapbooking.
Stash for things I will do one day.
Well, it’s better than a stash of chocolate or booze.

Oh yes, craftyone, the buttons too shaped like flowers. No more to be seen. I used to thread those with the beads as a child---played for hours.

I forgot my jewellery making supplies and tools including a small fortune in semi precious stones, beads and Swarovski crystals and precious metal clays.

hand making bread can be a craft

photography an art

wine making a craft

I loved rifling through stashes of beads and buttons, especially when helping at jumble sales. Just one big bead could be a design element these days. Sigh, all those things that slipped through our fingers Ellanvannin

Fabric, fabric and more fabric! Though I have used some up making face masks recently.
4 crates of fur fabrics (teddy bears)
212 colours of thread
3 Sewing Machines
Cards, card, paper and envelopes, boxes and boxes of them.
2 Big Foot die cutters, 2 electronic Plotter Cutter Machines
Loads of embellishments for papercrafts.
Rolls and rolls of double sided tape, sticky dots and all kinds of glues.
2 Xyron Machines (the most useful things I ever bought)
Boxes of canvases and paints of all kinds.
More brushes, pens and pencils than our local art shop.
I have a dedicated craft room, loft, shed, summerhouse and boxes under the beds all stuffed full, and I'm trying to convince my DH that I need another (large) shed.

Yes I have a stash of knitting yarn. I was a bit shocked when I had a big tidy up and retrieved it from various cupboards and realised just how much I have!
I make things for the local hospital for dementia patients (they are safety checked) so am working my way through the stash whilst on lockdown.

Tins/ boxes of beads for re-stringing ---necklaces. Maybe if we have a long winter I'll get stuck in.
Probably stems from childhood when an aunt we used to visit brought out her bead box to keep me occupied. Remembering some of her beads, they were the size of small tomatoes.

It was the ambers I liked. If only I'd realised then that they were very much sought after now, along with those which I thought were pieces of coal ( jets ) I've often wondered what became of aunty's bead box----probably binned

I have
Flour
Yeast
Wine

DH
Camera lenses and their boxes!

Are these stashes or hoards?
