First my yarn stash. Entrelac is not just a blog button I don't understand; it's also a form of knitting I found so tedious it made me daydream about scrubbing my bathroom grout. So I frogged it and started this afghan instead.
Knitting this made me think, "Really, I'm knitting a stash-buster with leftover cashmere, angora blends (from our rabbits), locally raised shetland, GCN, and cormo that I hand spun?" Either that's really spoiled or very blessed. I'll go with blessed and thankful.
We've been Stash Busting our pantry too. For lunch yesterday my 13 yo cooked hand-made tortillas. She rooted around, concocted, then baked the topping from 2 cans of refried beans, spices, frozen spinach and some left over mozzarella cheese. They were wonderful. I thought, "Really, we have so much food in our cupboards that we can forget what we have?" Once again, I'm thankful; I'm thankful for the meal- and for my 13 yo chef.
My toddlers have been Stash Busting. I haven't had to buy art paper for years- we just recycle my husbands old work papers into one-sided art paper. I'm thankful he's had the work for so much paper, and I'm thankful for the 3,271 monster paintings. I kinda like the artists too. They look so serious; it makes them extra kissable.
Stash busting: the ultimate opportunity for gratitude.

Thank you for pointing out these blessings that we tend to take for granted! Adorable photos, too: I think my son had the same red polo when he was little.
Melissa, As the red polo is a hand-me-down from who know where, maybe it was your son's:)
I love it! This encourages me to be creative and have fun with making the most of the things I have. One thing I have been wanting to do is make homemade tortillas, I think I am going to look up some recipes. :)
That is great and very true! There are so many things we have stashes of around here that get forgotten about and then it is like a gift!
I like that! Stash Busting! We have way too much stuff around here and it could be quite usable! Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
I definitely think that the paper is better used now for the precious artwork. LOL!
Really nice.
Loved this post too!
Think I'm gonna have to add you to my blogroll!
