So well put, Lori, and expresses much of what I also feel.
For me there are :
No more gizmos--only replacement tools such as seam rippers, needles, favorite ruler, etc.
No more patterns. (this has been true for years actually.)
Almost no more books.
Now I focus on batting -- wool mostly -- and occasionally fabrics.
"Output needs to catch up with the input!" is definitely written on my forehead and in my check book.

I pretty much gotten my fill of the latest .. having been burned by their lack of delivering the "life changing" value. Now fabric ... all I can say is my output needs to catch up to the input.
