BTW, I didn't mean to hijack Michael's thread with coupon talk! I think we all have a bit of the same issue. All those beautiful fabrics represent such wonderful possibility! I have a very addictive personality so I have to be super careful. I promised myself that when I started quilitng that I would not stash fabric. Especially since I had a huge yarn stash, plus a spinning wheel and a huge fiber stash.
I was good for a bit. Only bought for the project I was working on. It was easy enough especially because I ususally work on two or three projects at a time. Then I fell in love with Daiwabo Taupes and I began stashing! Oh gosh. Finances have made me slow down on that since it is quite expensive but I can still get in a couple of fat quarters or a half yard piece or two. :)
I used to have this fantasy: I would have enough (fabric, food ingredients, luggage, etc. etc) to make, cook, bake, pack for a trip, whatever the activity was, in my house at all times. I didn't want to have to go out to the store and buy everytime I wanted to do something. I wanted to have everything on hand. Yeah, not a good idea. So, I did some destashing and a lot of cooking, baking and got those items down. Somethings it is fun to go out and get something new. Enjoy your fabric and kits, try to whittle them down by making gifts and things for yourself too and have fun. As the previous poster said, as long as you're ok on your budget - it's all good!
P.S. I enjoyed looking at your blog. And you CAN NOT pass up the opportunity to visit different QS on a cross country trip. To do so would be crazy! :thumbup:
