OK. So I packed my machines and sent them home. Gave all of the supplies I had to the Afghan women. Boy were they grateful. Gave my ironing board and iron to a grateful DoD civilian so he can look snazzy everyday. Kept the spray bottle cause its a good one. Kept paper piecing stuff for my now idle mind. Don't have the nerve to pack my rulers, cutters and cutting board yet. That would finalize everything. I can't let that happen right now. Too emotional. I compromised and sent the starch, batting and supertote home. Swore off buying fabric and notions online until I got home. I had a pity party then broke down and sent myself some fatquarters from fabric.com this morning. (Yay me!) I have some scraps (very small amount) I keep on the edge of my desk to pet and dream about...waiting to go home.
