We have 2 in college right now and it seems like there is always a bill...car maintenance, appliance repair, gas, etc. I try to be watchful and not spend more than $50 a month at my LQS. I am also trying to use up some of my stash and now that my sewing room is organized (yep, you read that correctly), I was amazed at some of the kits/projects I had bought fabric for and totally forgotten about! Yikes! Right now I am debating on whether to join in on my LQS BOM for next year. On one hand, it is a good way for me to get 'energized' by the other gals...on the other hand, should I instead just try to finish my UFOs? I have to decide pretty soon.
