I have to admit that before I got a handle on it, I did this for
years!
I was miserable too.
How did I break the habit? I went broke, lol.
I got tired of the whole vicious cycle and realized if I was gonna climb
out of the hole, I had to start with downsizing.
I am focusing on my immediate family's lap quilts and only buying what
is needed, (very little), for those...unless some falls out of the sky, lol .
I don't think it's going to rain fabric anytime soon, but that would be
a sign I need to keep it. (see, it's hard!!! you fight it continually and
don't stop!)
That will be my mantra for 2017...downsize, downsize, downsize...ahm...
