I started this list a couple of years ago to record the progress of stitching down my stash ... however the best I achieved in those years was to manage it ... make sure it did not increase too drastically.
Around the end of 2017, start of 2018 I decided to minimise my life ... and finally in 2019 I have braved tackling a huge task of downsizing my hobbies. As 2020 nears I have decreased 130 to 91 (or 86 plus 5 extra charts I found I bought based from the below once updated ... I definitely look forward to less stash so I don't lose track of it).
Aim for 2020 is to downsize to 50 by the end of the year. This is to be done by stitching, selling, gifting or by any means possible.
Key:
Red - gifted /sold/ removed
Green - started
Purple - finished
Orange - added (found previously omitted from the list)

Hello, your collection looks amazing! I wonder if you can help. I have lost page 1 of friendly talks marafiki and see you have it as part of your collection. How would you feel about sending me a photocopy. I am desperate to get it as I have done most of the middle section (B) Thanks you very much indeed for reading. Sue
