Did you ever notice how some people just don't appreciate your art supplies, (stash of sewing stuff, piles of material, wood, books or metals) in quite the same way you do?
I get questions like, "Why do you need so much green?". I'm sure the shock that registers on my face when I am asked a question like that...can not even be read by the person who would even ask it. I love tubes and bottles and jars and pens and markers and spools and reams of color! I even love the dried up palettes after a project is done. I have to admit that I love a small stack of threads of many colors after snipping the finished edges of something I have sewn. Yes...I throw it out but I have to tell you that I like it. I LOVE COLOR! What do you keep a stash of? Send your pictures and your url and I will try to post as many as I can...Send me a jpeg of your color collection! Be sure to tell me a little bit about yourself so I can share you, your work and your stash!
Maybe they are even small stashes....a stash of crayons is always a good thing!
Don't even get me started on material!!!
I love seeing the pile of little fabric scraps growing on the floor when I make a quilt, then I think, oh, it will be such a pretty picture, then somehow it gets lots in translation. I like your neet rows and stacks of things!

I lurve your greens! Now I have to go buy more greens - and reds.
Are those your beads?? Wow, I am truly impressed by that!
I would send you photos of my stash but it would take a couple of days to pull it all out and gather it together!

I understand comlpletely. I don't have any pictures of my stashes which are hugely unorganized but I have lots of buttons, fibers and paper, paper, paper. I also can never have enough colors of rubber stamp pads, glitter, etc. There is green and then there is the RIGHT green. Two completely different things.
