In Defense of My Ecclectic Stash

I am out of space.  Every possible surface of my dorm room, and every parent-approved surface of my bedroom at home has been covered in either books, fish supplies, or craft stuff.  Well, my closet is partially overflowing with random shipping boxes full of packing peanuts… but I keep them around so that when I need to pack things up to go home, I have boxes and I don’t have to carry each of my books, fish supplies, fish, and craft items seperately.  Anyway, the floor is particularly problematic.  The entire thing is covered in fabric.  There is a small cleared space big enough for me to put my big rotary mat in the middle, or else my desk chair (but not both).  I try not to buy unless I have an immediate project in progress in which I will be using the fabric, and indeed the vast majority of my stash is leftovers from previous projects. 

Sometimes, though, one simply has to suck it up and buy something before someone else does.  I’ve had my eye on this goldfish print fabric for months.  I want it for a kaleidoscope quilt/stack’n'whack.  Today, it was gone.  I am still hoping that it will turn up… maybe I’ll call the other store… but in the future, if my plans to use something persist for a month or more, I will buy it.  In related news, I’m going to be looking for patterns to make purses or other small items that I can sell.  Hopefully I can feed the addiction without losing too much money.  Considering etsy…
