Christmas has come and gone. What is your reflection of this year? Mine was very different from the past years. The husband and I agreed to no gifts especially since we just did the cruise. Our friends adopted a family from the United Christmas Service here in Indianapolis. We offered to help them adopt this family and were assigned to the 4 year old boy.

Fabric Fasting
This will be the hardest month I have ever had. I have started my fabric fast for the month of September. We are 10 days into it and the amount of sales and promotions I have seen so far is making me sad. I will stick to my guns.
See this picture of my fabric stash that is out??? Yeah, I need to get through some of that before I add anymore. Good thing I have a craft show in October to help me get energized to create more projects.
Rules for the month of September Fast:
- I can only purchase notions that I absolutely need: needles, thread, spray, etc.
- No fabric can be purchased for future use.
- If and only if I get into a project that requires more fabric, that is the only fabric I can purchase.
Oh man, I really hope I can hold out and make it through the entire month. Hawthorne Threads and Fat Quarter Shop are very tempting with their constant updates on Facebook.
Speaking of Facebook, I have a group on there…Quiltytherapy. Just getting it started, join me group, who knows what I might post on there.
