The pattern directions sometimes have errors.

If I see a fabric that I "have truly fallen in love with " - buy it - even if it's not on sale, because it may or may not be available - anywhere - again. There is a difference between "kind of liking it" and "dreaming about it at night" liking it.

Available colors seem to change over the years. Whoever thought purple and lime green would also be Halloween colors?

I think it is okay to "be in a rut" - if one is comfortable and happy there.

I will like how some things turn out better than some of my other projects.

It is better (for me) to fix an error than to fret about it. If I notice it - and it is bothering me - and I can fix it - then whether other people notice the error is irrelevant. I consider myself "somebody" and I noticed it. If I notice the error after the item has been quilted and bound - well, then I will just keep my mouth shut about it.

I prefer to not participate in swaps - I like my fabric "pretreated" before I cut it - and I mind if the other participants have not followed the guidelines.

I sometimes do envy those that seem to be able to get whatever they want when they want it. But then I look around and realize that the probability of using up all the materials I have accumulated over the years is small to none.

I probably do not need as many sewing machines as I have - but I kind of sort of justify them by saying that the whole herd probably costs less than a mid-fancy new one would cost now.

It may have cost less - in the long run - to buy kits or "exactly" what the pattern called for. But what fun would that have been?

This one is tough to admit to - but my stash has almost moved from the "blessing" to "burden" category.
