My question to you is how do you stop!! I see something that I just have to have, since who knows if it will be there later! I just need to stop LOOKING. :) Which is IMPOSSIBLE. :):)
Any thoughts QB friends?
I don't stop. Back in the winter I put myself on a "spending diet"...failed miserably. I find those spending moratoriums seem to work in reverse. Kinda like when we were kids and our parents said "you can't...." Makes you want to all the more. Good thing I planted a little garden this year. Because yesterday I went to my LQS (Hayloft in Morgantown) to get a piece of fabric for backing and ended up going $87 into my grocery money. Hey, nothing wrong with eating zucchini 3 times a day. Zucchini bread for breakfast, zucchini fritters for lunch, and summer squash for supper. I have always tried to have a pantry of canned goods and staples for emergency rations. Same thing can hold true for fabric. You never know when your car will break down or bad weather will come and you can't get out to shop. You will always have your stash to shop from. Just keep doing what you're doing
