Almost everybody has this same problem, I'm sure. If I could trust her judgement, I'd ask my non-sewing friend to pick up that spool of thread or yard of fabric........would keep me away from the temptation of those fabulous fabrics.

OMG it makes me laugh and happy to know I'm not alone. I go for interfacing and come home with at least six yards of fabric, buttons that I have no idea what I'm going to do with but they're super cute, another magazine with patterns that I will have to live to be 200 to ever get to and well... I like the drugs pumped into the store theory and I'm going to use it.

sounds like me until I decided I better have some of what I have sewed before I buy more. Have had no time to sew lately. too many different surveys to do. work work work.

I got it off the internet, and am trying to find it again for a couple other board members. I have written you down, so I will get back to you when I find it in a PM. The wallet that matches is one of those free patterns from Joanns-they mass print them and have them just on pegs on the end of some of the isles or toward the front of the store. Simple, but I though making them in matching fabrics for the caddy would be cute. I want to sell them along with my purses at a craft fair or market in the near future. Never done that before, so I hope I can at least re-coup my cost of the fabrics!!

It happens to all of us sooner or later and it could of been worse, those weak moments. Now you are ready to sew and remember that slump you were in. Over that now with 10 yards of material.

I greatly understand what you did. I say it wasn't my falt when that happens to me. I have to go fabric shopping for a new quilt, and I hope that's all I bring home.

i love knowing lqs have this effect on so many others besides me, there is no trip to the qs for just what i went for, but i love it and always come home feeling so happy and content...now if someone would just work on all of the projects i could really be content
