I have a large stash, and decided the first of the year (2009) that I had no room left to add more stash:)
In March both my husband and I were laid off, thank goodness for that large stash, it has kept me busy and able to make gifts that didn't cost much out of pocket. I have purchased fabric that I needed to finish a project or gift but have tried really hard not to buy just for "stash".
I am now starting to notice what needs to be replenshed in the "stash" once we are working again:)
