Just get shuffled from one spot to another.

I never really found the need for a stash like my ex mother in law had. in fact i think all that extra fabric would drive me nuts..

So tell me.. The house we are looking at buying has a shed that I would convert to my sewing room. Should I start building a stash or wait?
I am getting to the point where all the stuff - fabric included - that I've collected (hoarded??) over the years is really becoming a physical and emotional burden and it IS driving me nuts!! I really ENVY you that you can plan something and make it, and not just buy, buy, buy. Use the space in the sewing room for cutting table, machine, whatever - don't change your buying and stash habits just becasue you think you SHOULD!
