We have been doing so well with cutting back on the spending. I have not really bought anything for myself in over a month. We haven't been going out to dinner, have had one date night (since Jan!!!) all in the name of frugality. Well, after I found out about my bonus, I let the reigns slip on the spending. It was only for one day, but it didn't stop with the fabric (see my last post for more on that)!

Woman Overboard!!
Sometimes it just happens. You go a store to get something specific and end up with a lot of non-specific, just for fun things. I have really been getting into my crafting lately and had a request for 3 coordinating shirts. I needed to get 3 different fabrics. What I got instead was 17. That's close to 3, right? I couldn't help myself. I'm like one of those creatures attracted to bright, shiny things. If I were a fly, you'd best bet I'd be the first one to kamikaze into that zapper thing. Can you blame me though???

ReplyDeleteNope, definitely can't blame you. Those fabrics are irresistible! I am head over heels for the apple print. I want to come shop where you did and get some of those for a quilt! Can't wait to see the finished products you come up with using these!

ReplyDeleteIf you find that life raft, swing around and come get me because I went COMPLETELY overboard this weekend, too. Like...beyond overboard.
I feel the same way about paper! Going into a paper store is bound to be a budget buster! Beautiful stuff though, can't wait to see what you make!
