Took the truck in this morning for oil change and whatever needed to be done at 36,000 miles. Turns out it is time for new spark plugs, cabin filter (whatever that is) some other filters, and new tires. My DDIL is taking me this evening to pick it up; after they squeeze $1200 out of me. No more fabric for a while. Just paid off the credit card from the dog, now this. Thanks, I feel better; just had to vent!

I hear you!. I am on a no-fabric till bills are paid kick too. My car needs some work, just had the timing belt, water pump replaced. Someone backed into my rear door, off to the auto body shop for repair. Fortunately they had insurance and I paid nothing. Now gas is up to over $3.00 around here, and after being unemployed for 2 years, my job is 35 minutes away instead of 10. It's all highway, but still. My friends are talking about taking a trip to Marden's in Maine (discount store with lots of good quality quilt fabrics). I know it's cabin fever, but could I really go and just look? Not sure. Why couldn't I have won the MegaMillions Lotto?? LOL
