I've recently started working at a quilt shop, and ooooh the temptations...
I was doing a price-sticker check today and had added to my mental list of quilts-that-must-be-done by about 10 by the time I was halfway round...

Ok, so I went to Joann's today to kill time while DH did some errands. "Just pick me up in an hour, I don't plan to buy anything" I said to him. Ha-2 1/2 hours later (no, he didn't wait, he left and got gas and went to CostCo) and--$145.00 poorer, I walked out!! Didn't help that the Quilters Showcase fabs were 50% off, and novelties were 30%-not to mention a few homespuns from the clearance table (still don't know what I will do with those yet). I also had 2 x 40% coupons so used those on 2 Susan Winget fabrics I couldn't stop fondling! I tried the excuse that it was the toxic odorless fumes emitted from the fabrics that drugged and seduced me to buy, but DH didn't buy that one. The manager, Jean, however got a laugh out of it! I bought all of it for purses/bags/totes and coupon caddies and matching coupon wallets. Guess I am going to start attending "fabricaholic's Anonymous" to try to cure my addiction - anyone want to join me? LOL

In an earlier post I mentioned how wonderful I have been doing getting my UFOs finished since I broke out of my post holiday slump. I needed a yard of material for making binding for the last one I'm finishing. Well ... 10 yards of fabric, 3 spools of thread, a pattern, a magazine and some trinkets from the notions wall later 
..... I believe I was possessed.
