While getting my taxes ready, I went back thru all my canceled checks for the year. Except for the Gas station and Grocery store ,90% of my money was spent at either Fabric shops or Green houses. I admit that I have no real life except for Gardening and learning the Quilting craft, but I need to put on my " Big Girl Pantys " be responscible and stop spending so much money ! Has any one else stopped and looked at what they have really spent? OMG....

Better those places than liquor stores and cigarette stands, right? Does it give you pleasure? Can you afford it?
If so, don't worry about it. (Think of all the people who have to have tons of fancy shoes or pocket books...)

I have recently had to take a good luck at what I was spending on fabrics, books, patterns, etc. because hubby is out of work for health reasons; and he isn't going back anytime soon. I certainly realize now that it is good for me to slow down, otherwise I will never use up all that I have. Sad that I have so much already. Did I enjoy all the shopping ...YES!! Will probably buy more when he goes back to work; but taking notice really makes one think twice about how much they are spending.
HAPPY QUILTING !!

the reason I know that I've been bad? if my daughter had done this, I would have wanted to kick her rear end....I am pretty big on living a conservative life style, now I just feel foolish. u know the ol saying." put ur money where ur mouth is?" looks like I need to keep my money in my wallet and my mouth closed! Am not telling folks not to buy Fabric/ treasures. Just say'n I needed a wake up call...the amount was pretty big.........on the other hand I'm ready for several big projects and I have some really beautiful Fabric.... sigh...Lord Help Me!

Every Year hubby keeps a spreadsheet of all my 'quilting' related purchases for tax purposes..I never know the 'bottom line' total. Don't really want to know either.. I'm grateful for the shopping ability that I can do.. Do I feel guilty spending the amount of money I do when I walk out of the LQS at times ?!?!?!? Sometimes, but you live once and why not die happy.. If hes not complaining then why should I.. :D
