Stash Reduction

I have decided that I need to reduce the amount of stash, at least a little bit.

• I have more stash than I could stitch in multiple lifetimes.
• My tastes have changed over the years.
• I know that I will buy more stash to add to this pile.

Therefore, I am going to post some of my stash on eBay (user ID Alexandyr) to see  if I can sell off some of it.  I decided to start with my Just  Nan collection.  I can't believe how much I collected since the mid 90's and I have stitched very few designs.  Therefore, I spent the morning scanning the pictures and writing them up in Turbo Lister.  I still have several more to finish, but I plan to publish the first batch of 50 patterns this week, hopefully tomorrow.

Here I am trying to reduce my stash and I got an order from Stoney Creek today.  I got their January pattern of the month with buttons and Mirabilia's At the Met.  I will never shrink the amount of stash if I keep buying...

This afternoon, I finished the cross stitching and the backstitching for Zinnia.  All I have left to do now is the beading.  This will probably be my first finish of 2015.  I love it when I can get a finish in January.  It makes me feel a little more positive about the year ahead.
