If you've seen the pictures I just posted of my re-organized stash you know I spent way more than you. I'm on a total fabric withdrawal, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Jo-Ann is having a sale on the 25th - OMG

I spend way too much as compared to what i actually finish, which is almost nothing. On the other hand, I don't have any actual guilt about it, because I like piddling around in my sewing room. It makes me very happy.

I will do better in 2011, frugal will be my middle name and will work from my stash. I will only ask for gift certificates for holidays and my birthday etc.

I have never added all my receipts up - you'd have to be standing by with a defibrilator! I am also trying to use up what I have and purchase limited amounts of new quilting supplies. There is a great sense of satisfaction from using stuff from your stash. Keep on trying!
