Just buying. I never buy less than a yard and have spent over $200 at a shop--they love me. All polka dots.<BR/><BR/>Now I buy nothing. I use what I have--rarely--and paint the rest. But I'm not really making much right now--a fallow period.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1159389538306636592006-09-27T16:38:00.000-04:002006-09-27T16:38:00.000-04:00I'm with you on the fabric collection thing, altho...I'm with you on the fabric collection thing, although I do happen to have a stash. Sometimes for entertainment, I will just browse a quilt store or a fabric store, and then I will treat myself with a fat quarter or a small thing, using those 40% coupons. So I have bought fabric with no use in mind. Except for that very big exception, I don't buy fabric unless I need it for something specific.<BR/>I like your photo of your wire basket. Those colors look so bright and cheerful, and organized.<BR/>I do try to buy groceries with a planned menu, but I am not organized enough to come up with a menu, so I will buy stuff on sale, and sometimes it does sit there. But I fix that by not shopping once in a while to deplete the supplies.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1159385799589112612006-09-27T15:36:00.000-04:002006-09-27T15:36:00.000-04:00When I had a studio in the old house I collect and...When I had a studio in the old house I collect and collect because I though I had to have it all. When we moved I packed it all. Now I have a studio in the dinning room and very little storage. I am using the same wire baskets. The past few weeks I have giving away stuff. Now I am cutting my fabric stash to sell or give away.<BR/><BR/>I love your doors. Have fun remaking your UFO.His Office, My Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024411359797738483noreply@blogger.com
