Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I have more stash than my lifetime will support! At the moment, I'm trying to figure out what to take on holiday next week. Really can't take anything big or complicated, or my sister-in-law may feel that I would rather be somewhere else. Can't have that. :shock:

Hi Rachel, welcome to the forum. I haven't been stitching all that long, but have a stash already. When I browse through catalogues or shops online, my husband says 'But you haven't fnished the bell pull yet'. :shock:

Well, ER, next time ask DH why he's keeping those extra bits of wood in the garage. He will answer (I guarantee this) some variation on "It might come in handy." Yes? Well, there's no "might" about our stash. We only need the free time to get to it... :P

Welcome to the forum from SW France. Looking forward to getting to know you.
I have a stash of gigantic proportions :shock: Lots of must do's a few started and lost interest too! Am currently gnashing my teeth over a piece of Hardanger and enjoying a large Poppy picture.

I smiled at the thought of asking DH about the wood, Serinde. When we moved out here to France he 'suggested' that I got rid of all the odd bits of wool and material as well as craft items to the local charity shop. I did so Grudgingly :cry: only to find when we moved here one large and Heavy box contained an assortment of off-cuts of WOOD :evil: WELL!!!
I do not admit to the stash now 8)

Welcome from Canada I am afraid the stash seems to rule our lives. We never seem to have enough and we never have the time to do it all. :lol:

WW, I'm sure that my own DH's personal stash keeps the garage roof attached. Almost like an attic full of National Geographics. :lol:
