Congratulations on making it from November to February. I have had one blow out so far since the moratorium was called. Wasn't huge if 16 meters at 50% off can be called small. I figure at 50% off I actually only bought 8 meters. Well that is my math and I'm sticking by it.

You go girl.....sometimes the fabric shouts out our names.....and we must comply!

I've done very well, so far. I've only purchased one piece of fabric and that was about a yard of fabric with small crosses on it. I bought the end of the bolt which was only about a yard. When I said I couldn't pass it up the clerk said the fact that the scue was hand-written meant it's not something likely to be reordered.

Now, do we have anyone else on here that needs to start a beader's anonymous? I've gone crazy over beads on sale this year! Yesterday went to AC Moore to look for a specific kind of clasp. Didn't find it but hit a 50% off lowest price and got about $100 worth of pearls (all sizes and kinds) for $25! Needless to say, I did not need to go back for their moonlight madness 6-9 pm sale

I'm still desperately trying to downsize to sell my home to be with my new found high school sweetheart from 50 + years ago. Fabric doesn't seen to sell here so may have a yard sale this summer! I will still have to look at 1000 bolts. Only trouble is, I like to feel the fabric..................

I break my promise not to buy any more fabric at least twice a month lol!! So...you're a champ in my book for lasting that long! Have fun with it all. :)

I didn't take into account the fact that there would be special projects I had to buy the fabric for at my BOM club. I haven't bought anything I am not using right now but I crashed and burned the 3rd week of January! Keep trying. LOL

I dropped off the wagon only a few weeks after starting the moratorium so 4 months is great! I am also a beader, but haven't purchased any beads in a long while as I am trying to be good in one area of my life.lol That will probably end pretty soon as well!:p At least fabric comes in larger bags. You can spend 100$ at the bead shop and come out with a 5x5" bag!
