Getting back into stitching has changed my focus on what I buy. I don't buy home decor unless it is something really special, or that will help me display my small finishes. I have also realized after inheriting table linens from my Mom that I don't use many of those, so I don't buy any and certainly don't stitch them. I have all I will probably need for my lifetime. So, I have re-purposed a few into other items. I just generally try to buy less than what I donate, gift or use up...with the exception of cross stitch supplies! Still open season there.
