LOL! no matter how many projects I already have started, no matter how many future bundles I have going...there is always
something that just has to have a new home...I can't leave all those poor orphaned fabrics there, so I almost always, adopt some if I go looking.
I did go in Joann's once and looked for thirty minutes and walked out without buying a thing. I checked my vitals as soon as I got home, though. Everybody slips once in a while.
Man, that was one to tell the great grandchildren...by DH!
Once, many, many shopping trips and purchases ago.... :lol:

Well, I did stop at Shipshewana, Indiana yesterday, and I did NOT buy any fabrics! I am proud of myself! Although, I did purchase a Roxanne thimble for HALF price!! They only had a few left. So does that count?? It wasn't fabric. Honest, no fabrics left the store with me!

None. Honest! I looked around at the rows of beautiful fabrics and said, "I don't think I need anything." And of course, I don't. But I also didn't WANT any fabrics. Maybe I'm sick??

I should have thought of that... you're right.

:shock: Well, I will just open up a stash drawer and look through some the fabrics I have "touched" in a long time. That should be equivalent to taking 2 aspirins and call in the morning. :thumbup:

It's always easier to resist the $9-$10 dollar fabrics.

Mark them down to half price - the resistance goes down with the price.
