    Only once or twice....


    ...a week.

    And my daughter brought it to my attention that a new "Sewing machine/fabric store" opened within a mile from home. Great.

    I have a monthly budget I put myself on and I'm doing pretty good. Sometimes a girl needs retail therapy though

    Maybe I hang out here too much, but while at this quilt show I've thought of all of you hundreds of times while looking through the vendor markets. Being able to see and handle the fabric makes it so much harder to say no! And the books! You should see all the quilting books one vendor has. That's my weakness. I'm being very good so far...but there is one more day of the show to shop!

    I don't really have a fabric budget either. I buy when I need to. Sometimes, I may go to the shop and spend more than I want, but it isn't that often.

    I don't really have a precise budget but since I am the one that handles the bills around here I do know when to stop. Unfortunately I know my Visa number by heart.
    I did kind of blow my budget last week though, I went to Joanne with a gift card and bought some backing and a couple of other things and when I checked out the card was no where to be found. Luckily I had my debit card with me and found the gift card when I got home. Now I can go and spend it again, LOL.

    Love the responses.
    I probably spend more than I should but have really cut back and watch where I spend my money. There are so many places in Lancaster, PA I can get to that I will not pay more than $7. a yard for fabric.
    I do believe that next year I am going to try my best to not buy anything until we get our Visa down some. Don't put any kind of fabric/quilt things on it - but when all the kids moved back home, it seems to go up. If I had the cash for that instead of the fabric/quilting - I'm seeing the balance go down. I certainly have enough here to last me the rest of my life that I honestly don't need to go out and buy any more. Of course, I know I will see something I will want (not saying need) - so I know I won't be 100% deprived.
