Very true. If it wasn't spent on quilting then it would be spent elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't be spending that time at home doing housework. lol

since i have taxes to do every year, i keep very good records of my expenses, last year was my first year to actually bring in more from quilting than i spent on supplies...but that i think is just a fluke :-D since i plan some long-arm upgrades this year. but yes i keep every receipt and keep track, there have been a couple years that were (wake up calls) where the spending was way out of control, but seeing it in black & white helped get it under control :thumbup:

Like you, I am keeping a list this year. Hope I do not get too big a shock at the end.

Just curious

And I just went to my expense sheet where I have kept track for the past 2 months, and maybe I will quit, because I added it up and was shocked. Some things are better left unknown

My hubby and I track every penny we spend. So far the motorcycle/vehicle column is higher than my sewing col. :lol:
