Well, The Mayans Were Wrong!


Happy Holidays from our pups to yours!

Oh, I am so excited~!  I got my email from Cotton Robin with directions about creating the first block center for the 2013 Spring Cotton Robin!  I will put my thinking cap on and get it worked on and mailed out to Julie by the 15th.

As usual, everything I have laying around here as an orphan is larger than 9 x 9 or 9 x 6 and it needs to be that or smaller.  So new, I guess it is!

Stash Reports are really bad bad bad, I don't know whether to be glad it is the end of the year where I can start anew, or to be chagrined that is it the end of the year and I can use enough up to balance it out!

I hit those sales, you know, 50% off is a BIG draw! And then there was Mia herself!  Totally sweet.

Anyway, here is the damage in week 51:

I added 4 yards specifically for the Mystery Quilt for River City so that negated itself.  And I am counting it in 2012 because in some convoluted way I figure I purchased it in 2012 and I am cutting it up and sewing it before the January Meeting.

The rest of the adding was more of the sales the day after the original day I went and counted it last week.

I guess it is good, I only added 8 yards over last year, but look at what I did.  I changed out 232.5 yards of old stuff and brought in new stuff I really like!  That is worth the increase.

How did you do?

used this week -9.25
used in Dec -12.75
added this week 20.5
Add in Dec 38.5
Used YTD -232.5
Added YTD 240.5
Stash Increase  +8

  2. Refreshing your stash is what it is all about! Out with the old and in with the new -Just dont hoard the Old Although some of the old is worth hoarding! Love my picture of the pups.
