    Love you people. And I gave never been a big fan of new year resolutions! The only one I ever kept was to buy a paper shredder & shred documents with personal info before I threw them away. Enjoy your fabric, ladies.

    Hey, have you work hard your whole life? You are entitled to the things you enjoy! No guilt here...I earn it...I will spend it! Now I do have to keep the bills in mind too...but if it's in my budget...then....

    I know what you mean Lynn but my other excuse is I usually need to save up some more money to buy the back so I wait for the banker to speak to me as well as the quilt. Ha Ha.

    It's ok to break your "resolution" once in a while! If not.... It's like dieting. You deprive yourself of something and then when you finally do cave... You over do it.

    I too am on a "no buy" resolution... At least until June. I did however order the templates on the DD here from Friday... And had gone to Joanns last week and got some thread. My "rule" is that I'm only buying if I need it to finish a project, or if it's a "too good to pass up" deal. My goal is to get done some of the projects that I have on my list before adding more to it. In the meantime, my Wishlist here has grown exponentially. Lol.

    I've been a knitter for many, many years. I had a serious yarn addiction. Bought because something was "pretty", or found a pattern for something that I just HAD to make so I bought everything I would need for it. Now the problem is, I've got tubs of yarn, and have forgotten why I bought it. I was buying faster than I could knit. I downsized a bit a few years ago, but have managed to build it back up again.

    Oh, Jess, I know what you mean about yarn. I had 6 30 gallon bags of it and when my DGS's girlfriend was learning to crochet...I gave it ALL to her. Talk about withdrawal...right now I bet I only have 2 skeins in the house. My fabric stash has grown to fill the empty space though and now that I have an embroidery machine, the spools of thread are taking over too.

    I broke my promise as well, earlier than you (on the 7th). I purchased more fabric before using up any of my long stashed pre-cuts. But I hurried up finishing projects before it arrives. Does it count?
