Instead of asking him how much of your time is left, Ask him how much of your mind, baby...

So, I have a confession...  And I'm willing to bet that this will not come as a surprise to many of you, but it's become a dominating force in my life over the past year or so.  I am utterly addicted to fabric.  Shock and awe! (I almost just typed "sock" and awe! hee-hee!)  Yea, yea... I know many of you sew-y, quilt-y, craft-y folks out there are in the same boat, I know it's nothing new or unexpected, nothing out of the ordinary.  But here's the rub!  (you ready?  rub a'comin'! ;) ) I gots no monies!!!  LOL!  Well, ok, very little extra monies each month to invest into my hoarding tendencies.  AND, here's rub #2! (rub a-dub-dub)  I gots no TIME! So, I finally eke out a little extry of the cash persuasion, and purchase that delicious yumminess that is some gorgeous fabric...  Then it sits.  And sits.  And sits.  And I tell ya, I'm ITCHING to sew right now.  It's killin' me.  But I don't have the time!  LOL!  Boy is in basketball, girl is in softball and Girl Scouts, and I have school two nights a week!  So, when I do have time to finally sew, I sit there and have to decide between sewing, and doing my homework/studying.  And while I hate it, sometimes (well, almost every time) I make the responsible decision and do my schoolwork...  Gag.  ;)   Cry me a river, right?  ;)

I suppose you could say that I'm "building" my collection that way, yes?  I tells ya, though.. I have a baby quilt, 5 million apparel projects, several purses and several bajillion other projects sitting in my stacks upon stacks of supplies.  And yet...  I want more!!  I wonder if there is a 12 step program for this? :D
