You know you have too much stash when.....

[Busy_B]

I went thru a month or two ago and made a list of all of the kits, patterns, and fabric that I have. I have a spreadsheet of all of my floss so I just added to it. If I've made a pattern/kit or have it to make for a certain person, I have a note next to it. Some of the fabric is already marked for special projects so I have that note made, too. It helps me feel a little more organized, but I don't have all of the small freebies listed. There's just too many of them right now!

Nah! You can NEVER have too much stash!!

I'm new to the forum, but last night I went to look for some floss cards to take with me on my trip (this is my regular stitch time) I love to relax at the beach and do a project. Anyway, when I looked at my stash I realized I really need to organize. I loved the idea of a spreadsheet. I think I will do that with my sewing material too. I have stashes for knitting, quilting, sewing, crocheting, cross stitching and tatting......it's a good thing the kids are all grown up and gone so I have more room to spread out. And..I can't pass by a sale or craft store without stopping. We have the greatest little 5 and dime in our little community that is great for us crafters ........... I need more room for my stashes. Well I'm off on my holiday with 2 projects and I will let you know when I come back if I complete one of them

You can never have too much stash, you just have to remember what you've got...and I forget also! At the moment, im just trying to get all the dmc threads together so I can put my hand to them instead off missing out numbers when i go to stitch something then have to order it, leaving me stitching something else instead!

Too much stash? You mean, there is such a concept??

[crazycat]

i am confused too Serinde i do not know this concept. I only know that there is to little stash.

Organising and re-organising stash is one of the most relaxing occupations EVER! (Unless you're bobbin winding and the thread tangles... a word of warning, do not allow fine Chinese silk to start tangling )
I'm having a lovely time winding my Eterna silks and the Australian ones I got recently, and every now and again, I check my fabric stash and stroke the really nice soft hand-dyeds

[crazycat]

mabel i did that with my Rhamajal

[Mabel Figworthy]

Did you get odd looks from family members too ?

[crazycat]

oh yes especially as i was determined to untangle it after 3 hrs i gave up/ there now going to tb she likes bad threads

I haven't nearly enough stasah - I really need to get more At least I need to get more fabrics.

I have almost all the DMC regular flosses - twice or three times over. I bought the required colours for my Predator, then I bought the required colours for my Chinese Dragon and then Simon bought me 50 colours for my HAED and now I've got loads all the same because I didn't check each kit before I ordered more. What a tragedy! So my idea is that I need to buy more fabric in order to use all the floss.
