Trying to use up yarn

I've been working on this afghan for a couple of years. My aim is to use up as much wool/yarn as possible before I buy any more. It hasn't quite worked, I bought wool but it was because I'd found a cute knitted pattern for a dress and mum said she'd make it up for my 2 year old daughter. Anyway, this is the last of the aqua and one shade of maroon. I thought it was most of the black then found some more.



These 2 hats were made using a pattern I found online. They're really cute and pretty easy, it only took me a few hours to make each one. The red one was made a size bigger than the blue one but they are pretty stretchy.
Finally these are my new idea for Mother's Day. They're asking for donations at school so I made these up using stamps I bought from a place on Facebook. They are 2 year planners that cost $1 and I've covered them in scrapbook paper.
