I have so much in my stash. I think that I'm going to do my best to use it up or just buy the one fabric that I need to put a quilt together. Glad to hear the hubbies found a job. God bless you for being considerate of your situation.

Damaquilts, Park Avenue is a wonderful car though. My BF is a mechnic, and gave me one when we first started dating, 10 years ago! Drove it forever, then gave it to DD. She had an accident with it, we fixed it, then got her a car with lower miles when she moved to Milwaukee, but the PA is still kicking. BF says they have great engines!

I know how you feel. Not to long ago I would have thought nothing of driving to the next town over to just go to a store because they have what I "want". I've been un-employed since 07 and we live on my husbands once monthy paycheck. With the price of gas, I don't drive anywhere unless I have a very good reason ( Drs. appointment , job interview, ect.) or if I can make it a multi purpose trip by going to 2-3 places while there. It really sucks when I can't justify spending gas to go to a big sale at JoAnns or Michaels. Oh well, i'm learning from this whole lack disposable money thing.

I'm under-employed too... ALL my trips have to be combined, evaluated for practicality, etc. I don't go to a lot of things I used to.
