Battle Axe, you ordered those things before New Year’s, so you’re good! I think the moratorium can apply to anything each person decides on. If a person has multiples of many tools, s/he could add tools to their personal moratorium. I personally am going to try & avoid any new purchases at all-unless I need something to complete a current project.
Grann of 6, I agree that having a project ready to go is an inspiration, although I like the cutting part of a project is one of my favorite parts, along with fabric choices.
