I am doing the same, I also wrote notes to myself and put them around, "If you feel the need to buy more fabric, first, look around this room, then go into the next room, then the downstairs, and finally in the basement." When I look at catalogs, I earmark the pages of stuff I think I want, then put the catalog away. I say outloud, "I have enough, and I want to be a good steward of what I buy from now on and I want to use what I already have." At one time in my life, I know I was buying to fill a void, now I ask myself what's going on in my world. I do have some oc/d tendencies, so when I find a project, like the bow tucks tote bag, I want to make it in every color. I'm really trying to use my stash. It's amazing to look in a bin and find new treasures that have been tucked away for awhile.
