Two weeks ago my totals were 51.5 yards out of stash, YTD. I had purchased 57.75 yards YTD, with a net of 6.25 yards over my starting point, YTD. And this past two weeks, I slid a little further into the stash black hole! Well, to my defense, the LQS that’s practically in my backyard continues their going-out-of-business sale, which resulted in a 20-yard purchase (honestly, that took some restraint on my part); I also purchased another 2 yards for a future bag project with Featherweight Club.
I used 12 yards that went into aprons that are cut out and waiting to be sewn; 5.25 yards into the Bears in the North Woods top; 1/2 yard into jacket embellishment. Total of 17.75 yards out.
- YTD 69.25 yards out
- YTD 79.5 yards in
- YTD Net: 10.25 yards IN
- Goal is 75 yards out, so 85.25 yards to go!!!
Not so bad, when I remember my new stash rule of thumb: First in, First Out (Most of the Time). Yea!!! I’m getting rid of old stuff fabric that has sufficiently aged.
I also want to thank Judy Laquidara for the fabulous Gingher shears in the patriotic design that I received from her in the mail this week! They are absolutely gorgeous. I will have to be careful though, because every time I pick them up, I want to put my hand over my heart and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I’m right handed. A person could hurt herself!!! Thank you, Judy. I feel very honored to have won them.
