Answer: In the midst of projects, yes, the stash takes over. While I was in the throes of cross stitching I had all my thread on the floor running down one wall of the bedroom in numerical order. Not in the way but definitely long. In between, I try to pack things up. I have a box in the closet for odds and ends that the kids might need for school projects, etc. and I have a bag (made of quilt squares, a gift from an online friend) for myself.

I began a paper building (St. Basil's Cathedral of Russia) but only got to step 3 [there are 18 total]. Lots of glue and holding things together and in place until the glue dries.
