    I agree! Mend a bit (consider it a UFO), pat yourself on the back and then work on what you love. Repeat daily until the mending pile is gone.... and out of memory.

    Sounds good to me! Play with your stash! The mending can wait.

    Definately mend! With that behind you, you will be able to sort stash and make plans for more shelves.

    I would get the mending out of the way in hopes of getting those extra shelves to organize. Good luck whatever you do.

    Do the mending and you won't have to think about alternatives!
