How Much Stash is too much

It's too much when you go into debt for it or would kill for it. *grin*
If you can afford it and it gives you pleasure, then no one else can
say it's too much.

I want the stack of chart, the coffee and the brownie!

From conversations with Maureen it would appear that excessive stash is
an oxymoron (a bit like military intelligence)

Unless, of course, it causes a problem with another adult with whom you
share a residence!!

auctions until the end, in the hope that I will further enhance my
stash. *The recurring theme in my collection seems to be kits only
usually available as class pieces, from classes that I am never likely
to be able to attend (Western Australia seem to be thought of as far

oop. * I am unsure if I am addicted to the thrill of the chase or the
desire to acquire the pieces - a proxy bidder has at least made the
process unemotional.

I have also developed tendonitis in my right arm, and this is making
my stitching even more infrequent, but I still have the desire to
enhance my stash.

Sorry, but there is not such thing as TOO MUCH STASH. Not in any
conceivable way. It is simple an error in concept. It's like being too
happy or too content. There is no such thing. I mean really; you
wouldn't put a limit on your happiness now would you?!?

Hi Joanne,
Here are some great ideas on how to turn your "addiction" for crafts
into a much more
satisfying outlet. Please read my blog for ideas and let me know what
you think.

All this talk about charts and stash haveme thinking that I absolutely,
positively have to have a new, fantastic chart to drool over. It doesn't
have to be something I need, it just has to be something I want.

Where should I start to look for this important indulgence???
