soapmommy60543	Posted - Nov 29 2008 : 08:00:02 AM So who all made it to 30 days? I know Tammy and I did. I think Jami did, too... Anyone else? I'll be glad to send you your chips! We can do a 60 Day Shout Out the end of December... Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher! Craft Fasting since October 21, 2008

lisa229	Posted - Mar 23 2009 : 09:45:34 AM I made it 30 days!!! I haven't bought any fabric since October and made all of my Christmas gifts from my stash(posted on my blog) and am now making bunnies for everyone for Easter....they'll be on my blog when done...well, one will be in Ann's March challenge this week because it has BLUE AND ORANGE in it!! YAY! Lisa http://lisa22968.blogspot.com/
Jami	Posted - Jan 05 2009 : 07:43:34 AM Way to go, girl! Jami in WA - who absolutely fell off the wagon in the last week...bought 2 books and yarn and needles. Sigh...starting up again afresh this week. Farmgirl Sister #266 http://woolyinwashington.wordpress.com/ http://farmhouseflair.etsy.com
soapmommy60543	Posted - Jan 05 2009 : 07:36:40 AM Everybody give a shout-out to Janie - she made it 30 days, too! Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher! Craft Fasting since October 21, 2008
soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 27 2008 : 5:31:54 PM If you had materials that you weren't going to use and you gave them away, that's GREAT! And, because you hit the bottom of your stash, it's ok to buy what you need going forward to fill in the gaps (check out the stashaholics guidelines on the stashaholics anonymous thread). And, as long as you keep to your habits of using up before buying new, you're good to go! Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher!

happydaze	Posted - Dec 27 2008 : 4:59:29 PM oh dear, I just had to have some 1830's fabric and I promised not to buy new until I'd used up all my scraps..SO I found a loop hole and gave away ALL my scraps, a huge garbage bag full to a beginning quilter. That sort of makes it ok to buy more.. I still have a huge stash but its all uncut pieces...
soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 13 2008 : 05:53:23 AM WAY-TO-GO Lorraine! Glad it came safe and sound Diana! Did you like your "gold star for effort?" Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher! Craft Fasting since October 21, 2008
dkelewae	Posted - Dec 13 2008 : 05:32:41 AM Ann-I got my chip in the mail yesterday :) Thanks so much! Lorraine-I'd love to see some photos of your scrappy quilts! Diana Farmgirl Sister #272 St. Peters MO Country Girl trapped in the city! http://farmgirldreams.blogspot.com/
happydaze	Posted - Dec 12 2008 : 8:20:51 PM Lost track of how long I've been fasting...vowed last year not to start a new project,or buy more fabric until I used up all my scraps...so far I've done 3 king size quilts and have 2 started and still theres fabric pieces all over. I am the new self proclaimed Queen of the Scrappy Quilt!! Before we retired 6 yrs ago, I had shopped for all the possibilities I could find on clearance racks and sales. so came here with a travel trailer full of goods, havent needed to shop since, just do it anyway cause its so much fun/
soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 09 2008 : 3:43:53 PM OK, confession time... I realized this morning that I neither made your 30 day ribbons nor mailed them this weekend either. OOPS! Started them today (on my new toy, I might add), and will mail them out tomorrow on my weekly trip to the PO.

soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 11:33:31 AM Exactly - and I can't think of anyone I'd rather hunker down with than my farmgirl sisters! Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher! Craft Fasting since October 21, 2008
Jami	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 11:06:26 AM I didn't mean to make you cry, girl! But I think I know what you mean. It's always easier to "hunker down" when you've got someone to hunker down with, right? Jami in WA Farmgirl Sister #266 http://woolyinwashington.wordpress.com/ http://farmhouseflair.etsy.com
soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 09:32:20 AM OK, I read it and I cried! I needed some cheery news today - thank you! All of my stashaholic sisters rock too! This was just another one of my "crazy ideas" when I had to face the reality of spending less $$$. I talked to my one sister (Nancy) one day on the phone about going on a craft-fast because I have too much stuff and not enough $$$, and she told me about how, on her scrapbook site that she goes to, there's a whole group of girls doing scrapfasts - no paper, etc, just adhesives, and some of them have gone 6 months or more! I thought it would be neat to post it here just to try it, and boy oh boy have we taken off! I'm just glad it has been a success, and that we've all had so much fun doing it!

Jami	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 08:50:10 AM I bragged about you on my blog, Ann. Go see. Jami in WA Farmgirl Sister #266 http://woolyinwashington.wordpress.com/ http://farmhouseflair.etsy.com
soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 07:47:23 AM Look at you go, girl! Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher! Craft Fasting since October 21, 2008
Jami	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 07:24:23 AM Well, boy howdy, I made it??? Woo hoo. I am using patterns I had on hand and thread even, and zippers even! Jami in WA Farmgirl Sister #266 http://woolyinwashington.wordpress.com/ http://farmhouseflair.etsy.com
soapmommy60543	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 06:05:57 AM Jami, if you had no stash to use, then it was ok to buy new for a current project (maybe I should write that into the guidelines?). So email me your address and I will send you your button! You betcha, hands up in the air! WOO HOO! Way to go Judith! I think I still have your address - let me check. I will work on them this week and will mail them on Saturday. Ann in Oswego http://suburbanprairiehouse.wordpress.com Times may be tough, but farmgirls are tougher!

tribalcime	Posted - Dec 03 2008 : 02:39:08 AM nope :) I went to micheals and bought some new beads --just couldnt resist!! LIfe is a witch ~~~ and then ya fly !! My blogspot .http://tribalwitch.blogspot.com/ and my barter blog is at www.bartertribalwitch.blogspot.com and www.alteredartfun.blogspot.com ebay store ..http://www.ebaystores.com/shadowsofthegoddess
Jami	Posted - Dec 02 2008 : 2:37:54 PM What was the 30-day mark Ann? I "sigh" did visit the fabric store yesterday and purchased the fabric for a polarfleece pullover for a Christmas gift but that was Dec 1st so if 11/30/2008 was the 30-day mark, I'm clear (hands up in the air like I just roped a calf). I actually felt a teensy bit bad about purchasing the fabric but there was no stash to fit the bill on this one.

StitchinWitch	Posted - Dec 02 2008 : 12:24:36 PM Me too! Fabric fasting since October 18. I think this is harder than giving up cigrettes! Judith Happiness is Homemade
