If I ever show signs of taking on a project like this again - making an inventory and staging a giveaway of another crafter's life-long stash - someone, anyone, please give me one "upside the head" as they say in da Bronx!!! There's still all the sewing fabric and notions to catalog and photograph and post. I simply dread going through all that and am tempted to just pack it up and hide it in a closet. My husband has suggested that as my mother sent it to me, I should send it to my daughter. He has a very cruel sense of humor. Besides, if I don't keep my vow to stitch from stash, that poor girl is going to have to go through all my own stash someday. This whole experience has strengthened my resolve to stitch from my own stash so Ange never has to face this sort of thing.
