Ok folks, let's dish the dirt on quilting and non-quilting guilty pleasures: 1) my fabric stash 2) hanging out in my robe for 2 hours on a weekend a.m. 3) reading tacky romance novels 4) sitting on my front porch watching the sun go down with either a mug of tea, glass of wine, my hubby and dog Stitches keeping me company 5) sleeping in 6) watching Food Network or HGT for hours and 7) checking out QB when I should be working

:thumbup:

Checking out QB to long, Buying to much fabric and crafting things. To many books. Eating to much chocolate.

on QB too long and my stash

How could I have forgotten chocolate or sweets in general? Managed to snarf down two bags of candy corn alone this week.

homemade apple crisp, WARM!!! mmmm

Too much time on the computer at QB or Facebook, my growing stash, and a glass or two of wine.

1)Eating chocolate in bed, 2) quilting and buying fabric for my stash, 3) singing and dancing around the house to music when nobody is home, 4) singing outloud to the radio in my truck while driving, and 5) watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
:-)

I'm not going to add spending to much time reading quiltboard because I don't feel the least bit guilty.

I suppose I should feel guilty about these: dark chocolate, trashy romance novels for an entire weekend, hanging out in my pj's until the afternoon.
I don't feel guilty at all about these: my stash, my quilting books, and all the pretty embroidery thread for my embroidery machine.

Only teo hours in the robe?

I refuse to feel guilty because I like to fondle fabric.he-he

chocolate, lots of chocolate

My occasional margaritas. I have type 2 diabetes, so I can't have them often. I guess that is why they taste so good when I do drink one. That and I could spend hours in fabric stores. If only I had the money to buy all I want! I'd be buried in fabric!

chocolate

Popcorn, made on the stove in an old pan... with melted butter. And salt!

In a BIG bowl.

On a rainy day. Like today!

Ditto...

1. chocolate, chocolate & more chocolate, unfortunately I have a private stash of this in a cupboard & the GC found out where it was so had to move it.

2. French vanilla, low fat yogurt.

3. on the QB way tooooooooooo much.

4. buying fabric that I'll need for that rainy day.

:) :) :) :)

Besides the obvious... spending way to much time on here!
French Vanilla Cappuccinos (sp) YUM! any time of day/night,
spending an entire day in a fabric store - spending $$ or not,
watching lifetime movies by myself all day long! with a box of tissues! lol

Fabric! I buy way too much fabric. I was mad at my husband this morning and order over $250 in fabric from Hancocks of Paduch when I got to work. I showed him! Nothing like retail therapy.

It is almost 4:00pm and I have just gotten dressed!

How could I forget chocolate!

Staying up late to watch "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and ice cream with whipped cream - lots of whipped cream!

sneaking upstairs early on a friday, settling in bed with a good book ,a mug of a good hot drink (laced with something alcoholic) and the knowledge that no one will need me to do anything till lunchtime next day!

Eating peanut butter with a spoon directly out of the jar, sitting on my screened porch with a glass of wine, watching trashy tv shows in bed.

Having myself a PJ day and sewing all day. With no cares.

I don't know that I'd call these "guilty pleasures" - it took me many, many years to realize that we need to nurture OURSELVES. All too often we make sure our family has everything they need before we think about our own needs, and we end up drained and cranky. So, with that in mind, here are my "self-nurturing guilty pleasures":

A foo-foo Starbucks drink and a pedicure every now and then
Quiet time all to myself
time spent with girlfriends - this one is really important!
a secret stash of Hershey's nuggets
NCIS marathons
Cranking up the wood stove to the point where I have to change into shorts - (I have to wait til DH is out of town for this one, hee hee)
something new from the health/beauty aids section - soap, body spray, hair clips, etc.
spending an hour in my LQS petting the new fabrics.

Reading QB for a long time each day.

chocolate, of course, fabric, sewing & quilting book,
now a new one trying to reel me in. Toy metal or iron
sewing machines with pretty painting, flowers, etc.
My glass case needs to move on for these little beauties.
But money is calling to me you have a budget.

all my stash. I keep adding to it. and geez playing games on facebook.

i love all your "guilty pleasures". but, i don't feel guilty for even one of them anymore. i loved, raised and nurtured my children, i catered to a significant other for over 20 years 24/7(whether i wanted to or not). so now, a little me time is on the schedule. to many wasted emotions on guilt. i prefer to live it up.(or at least in the confines of my budget)!!

No guilt here, I live each moment as they come!

an afternoon nap...

I wallow in pleasures--no guilt whatsoever.

all of the above!

1.staying up late, sleeping in late
2.coffee & chips ( doing now)
3.spending, spending on fabric (did today and loved it)
4.staying in my jammies til noon when I can (not often enough)
5. staying up til 3 a.m. sewing :)

All Good!

Guilty pleasures are good for the soul. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I loved all the responses to this post. LOL I refuse to feel guilty about anything! I have earned my pleasures, excess fabric stash, choc stash, wine stash, and never take away my NCIS or HGTV!

Yessssss I agree! I have lived too long to be guilty about the things that make me happy and if I haven't sold the farm to finance my excesses then I am going for it~!

My fabric stash, a nice cup of tea with a good book, and enjoying my porch on warm days.
Oh, can't forget my stash of chocolate at my computer desk lol.

hahahahah I think that fits us all !LOL One of my other favorite indulgences is to sit and watch the hummingbirds when they are around~

my fabric stash and staying on the QB to long and reading all the good information. i sit here in the morning and read all of it.
