So I was feeling that I had done enough fabric shopping...then came retreat in October. I was certain that I wouldn't be tempted, but when there is a fabric store sitting half way across the room from me my willpower breaks down, and I went to town slowly over the weekend....don't ask me why, I really don't know...
I would have thought I had enough, but I wanted MORE! Went to a discount fabric place on the way home and stocked up on some more fabric for ideas I got at retreat. And later in the week to the local quilt shop and more online orders for panels and other ideas!
I'm not sure what got hold of me...I just kept going, back to my old ways, if I wanted it I bought it. That's why I'm in the mess I'm in. Well, 210 yards later....I comitted to the stashbusters group no buy starting Nov. 1. I'm on my climb back up the mountain!.....no fabric purchases or books since Nov. 1! I can do it!
The worst part is that I haven't completed anything that can count for using stash. I've been working on projects and have a top or two ready for quilting, but not done. So I've also joined the UFO Challenge for 2008.
I've been quilting fairly regularly with my quilting group that meets twice a month but not too much in between so looks like I will fall short of my goal of working and hour a day on quilting. I need to catch on my calculations, but I'm certain I'll be short of 365 hours. Think I'll keep that as a goal for next year and see if I can do better.
Confession over! I'm taking control back! Guess I'd better let the kids in....
