I think i need to have DH take away my laptop for a few months. I hope i am not the only one with this "illness"
I am starting to scare myself. Any advise on how to stop being so compulsive?????????

If you find a cure, please share!! I am trying to put a leash on my own fabric purchases. DH drew the line after 15+ yds last week from e-bay. The fabrics are beautiful though & even he has to say I really got good deals!! I paid $3.25 yd for 8 yds of Christmas prints & got 7yds + for another $20.00 approximately. That was a stash builder with all types of fabrics & a lot of various colors. All is incredible & I'm thrilled with it all! DH says I must rest for a few wks after this last quilt is finished & all these new fabrics are calling to me...LOL!

I know how compulsive I am too, but I just keep telling myself enough is enough!

That sound like a good idea. I'll have to try it. I keep vowing not to buy anymore, but I can't resist a sale.

I am the same way. I just straightened my sewing room again trying to figure out where to put more fabric and I am not finding any but I sure like to buy, buy, buy. Especially if I see sale, sale, sale. I try and limit but it is so hard. Yep New Years Resolution loose weight, you probably thought I was going to say no more fabric. ha ha got ya!!

Buttttt, it's so much fun to be bad!!!!!! I have years and years of experience in this area. My DH attempts to tell me not to do this........ he knows I'm going to do it anyway. He just sighs :D :D
