For me, I love to browse at all
of the fabric in my LQS, then I
have to buy the one that really
takes my eye. It has to talk to
me!! :D Of course, admiring it
at home can last forever!!

buying is fun. paying is not. :lol:
owning ... not so much fun. all that fabric is a reminder to me of all the things i planned to do and didn't/haven't.
watching my friends' eyes bug out when they see my walls of fabs ... not just fun ... it's a hoot! then i tell them i know people who have at least twice as much and watch their jaws drop. :lol:
making is not only fun, it's downright "zen".
my favorite part? it's a tossup between the last stitch and the first time i get to hang a completed project. :P

Since i have a friend that I do alot of my projects with it is always fun when we take a "ROAD TRIP" to the lqs and see whats new, or go to a new lqs. We usually always buy something even if it is only a few fq's for a project we are both going to do some day!! :roll: :?: Then we love to take our stuff home and admire it. She likes pink & I like purple so we are always on the lookout for those colors. I know this all sounds silly but life is short, enjoy what little pleasures we have while we can.
We are planning to go to Houston and I can't wait.

I love shopping and creating but do not like to quilt it since I do not have a long arm. Binding is no fun either.
The best would be to have all the money to buy whatever I wanted and a sewing room large enough for everything and all the time I need to sew.
