Default Reasons to not build/acquire a stash:

I do have a stash - some people have a lot more fabric than I do - many people have a lot less -

Would I acquire as much fabric again?

I am not sure -

Sometimes blessings can turn into burdens - such as having no place to adequately store my "stuff"

My kids are not enthused about dealing with all my sewing stuff when I am no longer able to do anything with it.

I'm not getting it all used up.

The money I spent on sewing things might have been more useful spent elsewhere.

Do I have regrets? Yes and no. I did have great fun while in my "acquiring" mode. If I traveled or went out a lot, the money would have been spent and I would only have memories.

At the time I was in my acquiring mode, it was my way of dealing with emotional "stuff". Was it the best way? It was my way of coping in what I felt was "acceptable" behavior at the time.

Anyone else with mixed feelings about their stash?
