Working on stash busting here! So I needed (needed not just wanted) a specific type of fabric for a Christmas gift. So 5 pieces of fabric later, I have what I wanted for the gift. Plus...more. Too many cute fabrics out there. Too many ideas. Need to stay home and sew!!

I'm trying to seek equilibrium. I'm not really deliberately building OR busting, I'm just trying to maintain status quo. I like my stash as it is now - big enough that I have a lot of options but small enough that it's physically manageable and I can mostly remember what I have on hand.
I'm slowly losing the battle and building more than I'm busting, though. I have been too busy with work to have energy to sew much lately but I always have energy to shop online! But work is starting to lighten up and I have some vacation time blocked off at the end of the year that should help me move back towards balance.

Looks like most of us row the same boat. Recently I went through some of my fabric and what fabric I thought I would never use I listed on E-Bay. However, I did mange to sell most of it. Maybe it's time to go through and choose some more. I am also thinking that after I retire I won't be able to afford to buy fabric so best buy it while we still working. I would like to think that I can manage to sew most of my stash into projects before I depart this life, but I think I am hoping..............
