Shopzilla -Eats the Budget

>

Okay I need a twelve step program- Fabricohlic completely out of control. I finally worked on cleaning out my stash some this week. Got rid of lots of fabric but what good does it do if you replace it all. But who can resist "I Love Lucy" fabric. Not this girl, that's for sure. And the cute flannels on sale- I mean the grandkids have to have pj's. And I need some black pants so had to get the linen/cotton blend and black knit that was on sale- I'm I right. Now Lucy needed the princess panel fleece because her sister Ella doesn't want to share her's with her. I really couldn't let Lucy down. Of course the seersucker w/ watermelons and strawberry's would be adorable on Hailey- light weight and cool for this 100 degree weather. I'm she couldn't go without some nice cool dresses. And how often can you find Michael Miller cottons on sale. So it goes I can always rationalize buying fabric. It's really all my daughter Nicole's fault because I never go to the fabric stores if she's not visiting. I do better to stay away from temptation. She practily twist my arm off to get me to go fabric shopping with her. No really it's true my arm is still smarting from the twisting. Okay okay I might just win the race to die with the most fabric. I wish I wasn't a stash monster but I just can dream of so many things to make. I just wish I could make everything I dream of.

Mail Goodness

Some new fabrics in the mail. I've been trying to not add to the stash this year. But sometimes I fail something fierce. I just love fabric so much. I love the look, the feel, the dream of what it could be. But it's busting out of the seams at my house. I've been thinking of donating a bunch of it but don't know where to. If I could find a young family who sews and could use some of it. I've thought about putting it on Craig's list as a free giveaway. When the kid's were young I couldn't afford to stash a bunch of fabric. But now it's hard because I can afford it. I'm really bad when the fabric is a good price. I seriously need a twelve step program. I am out of control. But here's the goodies I got in the mail recently. I love the knits for pj's and undies for 5 granddaughters I got from The Fabric Fairy , the little pink owl buttons, and the Alice in Wonderland woven for Emma Daisy a dress. I got the other stuff from fabric.com . I got some blue poplin for a shirt, raspberry knit for a dress or shirt, cotton print for a skirt, the leopard knit for 5 granddaughters- pj's & undies, and the little star print for the stash.
