Delighted to say that I finished my scrappy fabric box.
Now winging it’s way to the https://thesnailofhappiness.com to go in her shop as an example of fabric scrap usage.
Meantime Jean from https://onesmallstitch.wordpress.com/2022/02/03/signs-of-spring-2/ kindly sent me some leftover squares
Now what do you do with left over pastry if you make a pie?
Linking slightly earlier than usual with Kate for scrappy happy day, because I am going on adventure and I need to set an alarm..

[…] includes several creations from other ScrapHappy participants: a box from Cathy, scarves from Jenny, a blanket from Sue. Also in there, there are many things that have featured in […]
I tried to grab a pastry off the screen and it did not work, alas…
Nice little scrap box!
Those boxes are so sweet.
Yummy & beautiful projects here, Cathy – thanks for sharing! Am intrigued by your mention of “an adventure.” Wonder what could it be . . . . . š
This is a great way to use scraps! Your box is great!
the box is so scrappy and wonderful, I have some plastic canvas left from my Mom, maybe i should give it a try. Can’t wait to see the embroidered squares and what you do with them. Thanks for the link. the tarts do look yummy!
Your squares are so lovely. I have started one but didn’t want to share yet. Plastic canvas is great for guiding those slow stitches, so you don’t sit there worrying about straight lines which I would.
Your little box is lovely, a friend and I were only chatting about these recently and through – might give these slow stitch projects more attention
Slow stitching is very good at relaxing the mind, something about the rhythm of stitching.
The box is so pretty – it makes me feel like summer is possible, while the mince pies are looking back to nice things in winter – we must be in February!
February is a real in-between month, can’t make up its mind.
Mrs Snail will be thrilled to bits to have that lovely box on display! Is her new shop close enough for you to be able to visit?
I could just about do it as a day trip because she is near where my son was at university,but more likely to stay in North Wales for a couple of days and relive some of my childhood holidays.
Just love your box, and it deserves pride of place in Jan’s shop. Can’t wait to see her display xxx
I think with contributions from a lot of people it will be colourful and something for everyone.
I was going to make one of those boxes ages ago. I must find it! Yours is so pretty!
Oh do, they are very relaxing to stitch.
I will certainly try to find the stuff I started.
When I bought some plastic canvas, I bought enough to make one of those boxes from my scrap fabric. Have yet to get down to it though.
I find them very relaxing to make. I sent the Snail the remaining four from the packet for her shop..
The box is just beautiful!! When I have pastry left over I just cut it in strips and bake it. Then we eat it š
Ask a silly question… Not sure I’d like plain pastry but maybe I’m just a greedy guts.
I don’t like really sweet things, but i do love pie crust š
I am rather quilty of leaving my pie crusts!
So you are more of a filling gal š I sometimes do the opposite!
Oh, fruit mince tarts…. My mouth is watering! I love your little box, and the lovely Snail will undoubtedly have a lot of interest expressed in that. I’m really sad that I’m so far away and can’t participate in all the fun over there in the west. Do let us know about the adventure once you’ve recovered from it!
Just had a mug of tea back home again. It was an important thing for me…
The box is wonderful as are those little tarts! Have fun on your adventure, looking forward to hearing all about it!
Hope to share it very soon. Not quite as expected, but when is life ever…
I love the tartlettes! They are so cute. What a great way to use plastic canvas. I’ve never seen that before. It turned out very cute. Enjoy the adventure.
Thank you. Not on the scale of your recent adventure but important for me.
An adventure is an adventure of any proportion. We should all have more. The clock is ticking.
I love it š
And interested to know what adventure is up ahead for you š¤©
Thanks. My adventure was only small but its done wonders for my confidence.
Oh I love your scrappy produce…
That’s so kind, thank you.
Your boxes are so inspiring and I love the colours of this one. I also popped over to the Snail of happiness – what a brilliant idea her shop is, I am sure it wil do well.
Thank you. It would be lovely to visit her shop once it’s up and running.
