Merry Christmas, everyone! We pretty much finish up our Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve. Today, we're just taking it easy and trying to right the house after it was destroyed by flying wrapping paper and bows last night.
Actually, it's not that bad. Everyone chipped in and helped clean up last night, so there wasn't a lot to do this morning. Nevertheless, it always takes me about four days to get back to normal after spending the entire day cooking on Christmas Eve. It was well worth the effort, however. Dinner was delicious. Mae helped out by bringing a salad and dessert, which meant I could make up a few dishes we hadn't tried before. I tried the Pioneer Woman's Burgundy Mushrooms and they were scrumptious! I highly recommend them.
So what's the damage on my stash report? With my sewing machine in the shop for most of the past two weeks, I haven't done much sewing. Any fabric I used was given away, not used in any projects. Now that my sewing machine is home again, I'll be sewing like crazy to make up for lost time ("crazy" being operative word in that sentence).
Fabric used this week: 1/2 yard

Fabric purchased year to date: 150 yards
Net purchased this year: 16 yards
And that is my total for the year. While I finished the year in the plus column, I'm happy it wasn't much worse given that I spent the first three months of the year on a fabric buying spree while we were on oursnowbird rainbird trip. No traveling for us this winter since Mike will be working (assuming he finds a job). I'm hoping to finish up next year in the minus column.

Not bad at all Barbara! I'm betting you'll make up for it this coming year.
And I meant to say if you gifted some, you should count it - it's out of your stash, right? So you're probably better off than you thought. Yeah!
You did really well. Using over 130 yards is an achievement you shouldn't overlook.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
