although I never made my kids eat something they didn't like. I do think a good pop in the mouth would do wonder for this generation. You would be afraid to because you might get reported.

I agree. This young generation is real sassy! Parents seemed guilted not to discipline, or afraid they will get reported. So sad for the kids, they never learn self control, and have an inflated sense of entitlement. :?

Okay ladies, You know your addicted and your stash is too big when:

You go to a garage sale and think nothing of buying more fabric even though you have NOWHERE to put it.

9yds of cotton knit
14 yds of fabric for clothing
2 yds of flannel
64 yds of cotton prints and solids
all for $10.00
2 quilting books for $1 each

Wish me luck on getting it put away. Does anyone out there have or know where I can find a room stretcher?

I also bought 20 vintage hankies for a butterfly quilt but they were at an estate sale and considerably more.

I also need a room stretcher. Good luck on getting it put away and you got a great deal (like you don't know that) on all that fabric.

I know. I hope I didn't sound like I was bragging. Oh, what the hay, I don't care, it was a great deal and I'm happy about it. :lol: :lol:
The best thing about buying fabric like that (other than the price) is that I tend to get stuck buying certain colors, styles, etc. when I make purchases in stores. This way I've got fabric that I would never have bought on my own. If it were up to me I'd only buy bright blenders, batiks and 30/40's stuff. This gives me an opportunity to expand my ideas. It's like how some people get hung up only buying browns,beiges, creams and tans. It also gives my a chance to really experiment without wasting too much.

I tend to buy purples, blues and greens mostly. I have to force myself to buy yellows, reds, etc. Strange people, aren't we??

I do too. If it weren't for bargain fabric like I got today I wouldn't have anything in the yellows, golds, browns, tans, pinks, or reds (unless it's burgundy). There was one piece of fabric that's big enough to cover to couch pillows and will go well with the couch throw I'm making my brother for Christmas.
