Middle of the Week


Here it is Wednesday. How’s everyone doing with the stash busting? I wonder if buying fabric is like eating when you’re on a diet .. are there events (stress, frustration, excitement) that trigger fabric buying binges? Are certain days worse than other days? I never thought much about whether I had fabric buying patterns or if I just did it out of boredom or if I just did it because!

This week has been the worst I remember in a long time as far as receiving all those “sale” e-mails! I find myself thinking . . This is such a great price! It’s really better to spend the money when I can get fabric/yarn for this price than it is to wait til I’ve used some of my stash and then I might have to pay full price! Then I come to my senses. Yesterday I did look at some of the yarn that was on sale and I realized I just don’t want any more. I also looked at some of the fabric and then I felt kinda like I was being unfaithful to myself just by looking at it! So, I closed those windows and made a new commitment to myself. I will not even go to the web pages if I accidentally open an e-mail advertising a sale on fabric or yarn.

Make it through today and you’re halfway through the week! We’ll all be winners this week. We’ll all have Stash Busting Reports on Sunday and be able to say we bought nothing and we used something from our stash.
