I am a Fabric Dragon. My hoard consists of mounds of fabric in all shapes, sizes, colors and patterns. All of which I adore and treasure. Doesn't that sound so much better that a fabric hoarder.
I fully admit that I am addicted to color, patterns, and textures. I don't part with fabric simply because I have too much of it or that I finished the project that I got it for. I don't throw away scraps until they are too small for me to use. I am even finding uses for smaller bits these days as I venture into more EPP. I am eager and happy to take on anyone's discards even if they are only scraps.
My hoard has definitely reached the classification - STABLE. Stable sounds pretty good doesn't it. But when you know what it stands for, it's not as positive as it seems. Stable = Stash Total Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy.
My whole family knows that I have too much fabric. Yet they encourage it, enable me to have it and actually contribute to it. As addictions go, this one isn't so bad. Part of my addiction goes back to harder times early on in my marriage. If I was working, I didn't have time to craft. (I had small children) If I wasn't working, I didn't have the money to craft. As I am approaching retirement age, I am well aware that I won't have the funds to do all the things I want to once I retire. So I am accumulating it now. At least that is how I justify it.
Do you have a stash? Is it STABLE? Do you want to De-Stash? (let me know if you do)
