Thing is, if you are going to use it and especially if it's on sale (a big one for me, I LOVES me a deal), then why not get it, right? Nice liberty gift from Andrea. It was also SO lovely to meet you on your trip here. I had a terrific time, and I'm so happy that I was able spend the evening with you!

I had a terrible month in March for fabric accumulation- I panicked when my Mood project wasn't going well and bought a backup fabric, then I made a splurge purchase during a big meetup with out-of-town visitors, and THEN Clare brought me a lovely fabric gift... all told, I was up about 9 yards by the end of the month, eek! Luckily you're a pretty quick stitcher, so I've no doubt these will be out of your stash and into your closet in no time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-48019106831963209202014-04-09T20:35:06.650-05:002014-04-09T20:35:06.650-05:00Look, on holidays you are allowed to break your di...Look, on holidays you are allowed to break your diet a little bit...the odd treat now and again does you good :) And they are all gorgeous little tidbits, not that calorie rich really.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-72731036053017555932014-04-09T20:07:49.294-05:002014-04-09T20:07:49.294-05:00Can't wait to see the coat and jacket!

The fabrics you've bought are gorgeous and gifts certainly don't count (the Liberty from Andrea is just beautiful). I think you get extra fabric points anyway for tackling jeans and a trench coat.

You could always send it to me if you are feeling too bloated (just kidding). I agree with Susan that everyone here will help you justify your purchases. I know I’m supposed to keep you on the straight and narrow, but, well, I like what you got so I can't even say you were bad. How about we’re just good from now on? Pinky swear? As for the roaming charges, they were all a figment of your imagination: you could have gotten MOAR!

So don't feel bad, just go forward and start sewing! Maybe you'll sell off some older items in your stash, too (I know you sorted through it earlier for swapping, but there may still be something left behind that would stimulate someone else's sewing mojo more than it does yours).<br />-- stashdragon Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
