I am so glad I am not alone. I work full time and can only quilt during the weekends. I miss working with fabric. So at work I shop on-line and buy, buy, buy. I said it was on sale and I am helping the economy. I think I need therapy (sp) fast. My house is so loaded with fabric and projects to do. I like a lot your suggestions and I am going to apply them to myself and just say NO NO No to buying. Thanks for posting.

I hear what you are saying....I am totally addicted to thrift stores. I added up last month what I spent and I was shocked :shock: I didn't realize how quick a few bucks here and there add up. I see something and justify it by saying what a fantastic deal.
I took my keys away from myself this week so that I can't drive there. :lol: Myself is getting quite frustrated with this arrangement. Although, I am getting quite a bit of sewing accomplished.

I started bringing my small notebook the has graph paper pages and isometric pages (I printed those off and tucked them in the pocket). That way I was spending my lunches planning out my next great project rather then spending money. I also found it handy when I would see a really cool tile pattern that I wanted to turn into a quilt pattern.
