New Year’s Resolution for 2009
Just one, really:
To use up my craft and sewing stash and refrain from buying new stuff for the entire year.
This includes all the various pieces in my fabric stash, craft supplies, and craft and sewing books.
Before Christmas, as the economy was heading down the toilet, I stepped back and took a look at all the stuff I had. I have a lot of stuff. I’ve been collecting craft and sewing stuff for at least 25 years. Maybe longer. The stash reduction contest this past summer inspired me to take that idea a step further. I don’t need to buy new supplies. I need to use what I have.
Realistically, I expect to get through about 6 months of crafting and sewing from my stash. Then I’ll have a new little baby to deal with, along with my adorable preschooler. I expect I’ll have to put a bit of that on hold for a while. To keep me honest, I’ll post my progress here and you can read along. Are you working from your stash? What’s the oldest piece you have in your stash? What creative challenges are you facing with dealing with your stash? Do share.
