Hmmmm - if you folks are fives, I must be about a 7. I have (deep
breath) all the DMCs, all the Splendour silks, all the Gentle Arts
sampler threads, plus some Weeks Dye Works, Silk Mori and Soie
D'alger. I have several boxes of fabrics, beads, embellishments as
well. This is all stored in a double cupboard which I fitted out with
shelving. One side is books, magazines and finished framed pieces
which I haven't space for on my walls, while the other is boxes with
all the above mentioned stuff, and a box of finished, unframed pieces.
I also have most of my patterns in one draw of a filing cabinet filed
by designer or pattern type. Kits, hoops, frames, q-snaps, sewing
supplies and magnifiers are also stored in the cupboard.

I also have a four drawer plastic cabinet on wheels that sits next to
my stitching chair. I usually has my current projects and ufos in it
with my Ott light sitting on top.

If you're a 7, I'd like to know what a 10 would look like! Wait...that
would be my LNS!!!!

I'm thinking I need to dial back my rating to a 3 or 4 after reading
some of these posts!

I think I was being too modest when I claimed my stash was only a 2 or a 3.
With 4 plastic multi-drawer cabinets filled with much DMC (I don't have every
color but I do have multiples of ones I use frequently)and a few Anchor skeins;
cotton overdyes, rayons and silks; YLI ribbon floss, perle cottons, kreinik
spools, candlewicking yarns; a huge basket filled with crewel and needle yarn;
plastic shoe boxes filled with buttons in little plastic baggies sorted by
color; and many other things, I am a definite 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of you who said you were in the 5-7 range were also being too modest ...
add another point or two to your ratings.

Okay !!! :^))

I used to be a 4 or 5. I had 3 big Rubbermaid totes full and some laying
around. Now my personal stash is about a 1 or 2. I have 1 big tote about
3/4 full. I used my 'new' stuff to help stock my shop at first. That
weeded it down considerably.

Of course, if you count my needlework shop inventory then I would definitely
be a 10 plus

I only counted my embroidery projects, not my crochet. The crochet is a 5
all by itself.

I'll put myself at a 4 to a 5...

Cheryl

I have seen Cheryl's stash! I would have put mine at a 6, but have
been whittling down a bit, so am probably a 5.

Gillian

But you haven't seen Bobbie V's.... She was close to an 8. Down now to a 5.
I'm still a 5
