I have to agree with MaryStoaks about being frugal for so many years. When my 3 kids were all little..I clipped coupons, watched for all the sales, used lay away when I wanted something.I have all the quilting tools that I need or really want, several vintage machines...my old Kenmore being my old reliable...I am trying to find a newer machine. Over the years I have done alterations (still do) and making little girls dresses to make some $ for myself. Being a stay at home Mom did make for a tighter budget and I always put my needs last...NOT ANYMORE...I got my diamond and I'm searching for my dream car (Benz SLK) and a long arm quilting machine. I do have quite a bit of fabric, but not as much time to use it up.Does that qualify for at least part time frugal ??
