In January I went on a spree for my birthday - now remember here in Canada fabric is more expensive than in America - and I spent over $500! It was at 4 fabric stores and one store by itself was over $250, but there I bought all they had left of my favourite fabric -about 10-15 metres! I've curbed my spending lots - I leave the credit card at home and working at the quilt shop helps satisfy my cravings, too. I have enough projects to last me at least a year though!
Oh, and my DH is really the sweetest man, but when it comes to spending, he flips, so he doesn't see these receipts and he has no idea how much quilt fabric is... he did his spending on his hobbies in the past, and every year, gets new licenses and other guy stuff...
