I agree about the dyeing . I do my hair every 8 weeks too. I feel better when I do it, it also makes me look and feel younger than I am (being vain) but why not.

So, scraps, lots of scraps!!

I am opening a home for wayward scraps. No charge or entry fee to move your scraps in. I promise they will receive love and attention and will mature into a lovely scrappy quilt family when the time is right. Hugsssss and smiles. LOL

From now on, when I inherit batiks, I will trade you for florals. :lol: :thumbup: I really like some of the batiks I have seen, my brain just doesn't 'see' quilts with them, although I love seeing everyone art with them. Plumb pure amazes me.

Oh my, after reading all the replies I don't think I have too much of anything, in fact I don't think I have enough of everything :lol: ....except dust and grey hair :oops:

I am a scrap person, I am in heaven when some one gives me a bag/box of scraps, I have to get them out and stroke them, fold them into a orderly pile, then put them back into the container, I make about one scrap quilt a week, all for charity.
I also love magazines, having once owned a shop that sold magazines, at the end of their lives there would be quilting magazine for me, aeroplane magazines for my Husband and motorcycle magazines for son. We have all become magazine junkies VBG

the old hobby of smocking on corduroy and making them into pillows - think of the 70's, my mom is actually making them again - in the stores they are about $25! what goes around comes around!

hand sewing needles - I love the old timey kits.
