Just think of all the fabric I could get

I have to laugh. When I met my hubby he almost had a heart attack when he saw my clothes closet. I had about 75 pairs of high heels. Now we're downsizing and my new "sewing room" is about the size of a nice walk-in closet. He's almost hyperventilating seeing how much fabric I actually had in my old sewing room (it was about 12 x 16)

I don't know about unpleasant, but it makes me think of fish!! As in pecan-encrusted, salt-encrusted...LOL.

I like shoes as much as the next girl, but my willingness to drop many $$ has really decreased with my increased need for fabric!!

Oh my goodness.. that guy is mighty proud of his fancy dancy shoes.. Thanks very much, but they don't match my sweats!

You couldn’t even give them to me…… If U did I would find a way to dismantle them an use the sparkles and material in my sewing crafts

You Could Buy Two Sewing Machines, And Some Fabric.

yes! I'd rather hear "bedazzled"...although it sounds a little juvenile-ish, certainly better than any "crusty" thing, lol! :lol:

You couldn't pay me that much money to wear those! They are definitely not to my taste!

One would have to be either extremely vain or certifiably crazy to wear shoes like that. I'd opt for the latter choice. <G>
