okay you crafty ladies, i need some help!

i am what you call, a "collector" of crafty items and have a huge stash of unused fabric. we are very short of space and my husband has threatened to get rid of my fabric if i don't start using it soon! yikes! so i'm on the lookout for some small projects that can be quickly made...quilts are out of the question now that i have a busy 8 month old and there are only so many baby blankets a gal can make. any creative ideas???? i've already made my friends a few pouches...thanks in advance!

I suffer from the same syndrome, lol. I generally end up using the scraps to make holiday gifts...let's see.
- cheapie photo albums covered w/fabric and decorated ( you can kind of pad it, kwim?) all it takes is glue and a few bows, jewels, flowers, whatever. Relatives always dig these, especially when there are pics of babies in them

-drawer sachets (a little eo in the stuffing works or a small eo soaked swatch in with the stuffing for a stronger scent)

- neck or eye pillows ( fill with rice and add eo, heat in microwave, aaaah!...love these)

- I recently made a GIANT pillow for my dd (and will have to make one for ds, also, as he lounges on the thing all the time :LOL )

I can't think of anything else right now, but I hope these helped a bit.
