Way to go Rosie!! I didn't even look, finished my current quilt instead :)

I'm in the same boat, Rosie. I'm trying really hard not to buy anything new and just work with my stash. It's not always easy and sometimes I have to purchase a little extra but I try hard to avoid it. I've done the same thing. I'll put stuff in my cart and then delete it. Sometimes I think it's good to just walk away from it for a day and then go back to the cart and decide if it's really worth it to make the purchase.
I did the same thing Jess - I filled up my cart and then later deleted it all. I have enough fabric for dozens of projects, but it was soooooo darn tempting LOL
Thank you all!! Hearing how you all are using self-discipline is really helping me; I have enough to last many lifetimes, but you know there's 'just that one print' that you can't seem to live without... sure do appreciate reading all you disciplined ladies! It truly helps me in my time of weakness!! :icon_wave:
I have a $200 cart sitting there, can't seem to find the delete button.......or the money.
I'm not going to lie.... I put everything back in a cart this morning. Didn't hit the submit button though :( Turns out, had I have ordered yesterday, I would have saved about $17. Now with stuff back to full-price... I really can't justify the purchase, so I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
On a positive side, I'm wrapping up one project tonight, whipping up a small one between tonight and tomorrow, and then I'll have two projects off the massive (38!) list of projects to do! I must not add three more projects to the list in their place.... Lol.
Well I will admit to being the weak-kneed wimp of the crowd.....I needed the blades and you all know what happens next, you browse. Some of that fabric even called out my name.....well, I couldn't be rude and ignore those pleas for a new home, could I?? My name is Sandy and I am a fabric-aholic. :0
I find this strength most of the time because I'm in the same boat. I have enough fabric in this house to last me for some time. However, we went back home to Pgh for a wedding. I am the ultimate Pittsburgh Penguin fan - I love my hockey. Well the Pens were formed back in 1967 and only once did they make Pgh Penguin fabric and it was pulled immediately due to copy right issues. Well of course I had to 'look' at the fabric while in Pgh because you just never know lol. Low and behold Pgh Penguin fabric!!! I was so dang excited. Two different cotton prints, a flannel print and a fleece. With no hesitation I grabbed it all! I actually wanted to purchase the full bolts but they said only 10 yards per print :( So of course I purchased 10 yards of each print and went to the next store and purchased 10 yards of each print again lol. Me oh my - I wasn't so good that day. 80 yards of material in one day. Because of that I didn't stop at the fabric outlet in the mountains on the way home so I guess that was good :D
Well -- it's important that some of us shop to keep M* in business! So yay you!Quote:
