Nancia: I am widowed so I have no one to complain about the size, amount of space taken and money spent. Honestly, if someone (read husband), told me I couldn't buy any more I would probably be contrary enough to immeadiately head for the store. That being said, although I have made light of both my and others purchases, I really am trying to cut back. Wish I could truthfully claim to want to avoid all purchases but a good sale is hard to pass up. How about changing the new Moratorium rules to a more postive note? Not only not buying but producing only from stash and using the thread to showcase our projects?
