I have come to the conclusion that it's time for me to buy what I need, not just blissfully buy. After reading all nine pages of this thread, I'm going to go make some sense of my "stash" for the umpteenth time! Most stashes need constant reorganizing.
Oh and I loaned my only working sewing machine (I have 2 other treadles) to a 4-H group--24 hours without a machine, I will get by, I will get by.
