Heck yes!!! Remember, it is still cheaper than therapy.
I have boys and when I visited my youngest son recently I realized he has the same addiction except his is tools. I tried to walk into his garage and told him it reminded me of my sewing room. It is hard to walk into either one. We are not good at organization.

My DH use to ask if I was opening my own JoAnn's franchise LOL He always gave me the fabric sale messages from my MIL and he even would help pick out fabrics. He just could not understand WHY one female needed 'hundreds of pairs of shoes'--- I DID NOT have that many single shoes let alone pairs. I will admit I do have a shoe fetish but I come by it honestly, I inherited from my Gramma. And apparently it skips a generation. My Mom had 3 prs of dress shoes-my son had 1pr of tennis shoes and 1 pr of winter boots and his daughter has a shoe closet and it is more organized then my fabric closet.

Those words were uttered by my 33 year old daughter when I showed her, on my iPad, that I was going to purchase some fabric at M*QC. She thinks I'm crazy for wanting more fabric after she came for a visit and saw my sewing room. But I helped her fold her blouses and, I swear, she had over 30 shirts in her bag. So, what's the difference? I bought her two shirts today and now I want some fabric. I shouldn't feel guilty about buying more when she has the same problem. So, do I ignore her and purchase my fabric? I say, heck yes!!
