Am I a Craftsy addict?

I see you talked yourself out of it! Much as I appreciate your enabling me on other occasions, I was going to say no too -- I hate being broke even more than I love quilting. :)

I am also cutting way back on my purchases. Especially after cleaning out my cabinets and finding so much "stuff" that someone must have put in there! Honestly, kits for twelve quilts, not to mention the stash. I really appreciate having all this, but what good is it if I just leave it in the cabinets. Lots of gifts can be made that will be really welcomed by lots of people. Even donations. I think I just gave myself a lecture. Some remind me to read this on a weekly basis please.

Carolyn the same thing happened to me. I am on a serious fabric diet- (unless a really good deal comes alone) LOL

I'll tell you it's OK but you have to send me a case of dark chocolate:icon_hihi:

Have you thought of subscribing to the quilt show? It's a special price of42 for a day or two and you can see all their past shows for up to a year. Different than tuts but usu very good info and much cheaper than craftsy.

I'm thinking you might want to print out your post, make several copies and start taping them all over the place. Maybe, and I'm just saying maybe, it might help you stay on budget...however, just don't be surprised if the taped memos begin to look like decorations and after a while you see right through them.

Since I am running short of space in my little sewing corner, I have been having to say NO more to new fabric. It used to be that I bought fabric just because I liked it, without a quilt in mind. Now I have so much that I am going to force myself to use my fabric and only buy fabric for my specific projects. Let me tell you M* Daily Deals are so tempting, thats its really tough to stick to it, but my budget will thank me later,lol.
