    2. @MadSnapper: I love that you played the music and I hope it helped. I'm sorry it's a rough go on your end. Your spirit though, is amazing. You really are Wonder Woman.

  5. Me unsupervised in any kind of fabric store or craft store is sure to result in purchasing things I do not need.

  12. I collect fabric - don't do anything with it. I always plan to. I also am drawn to the fabrics of pretty dresses and skirts at thrift stores. I cute up the dress and keep the fabric. I wonder if there is a sickness name for fabric hoarding?

    1. Using up stuff is wonderful. I'm using what I have but also, enjoying small purchases of new as well. Though back in 2016 I donated a bunch of fabric. Either way, happy using up your fabric. That's fun too!

  23. I hope you got some goodies at the fabric shop. That was always a fun place for my sister to visit, as she sewed quilts and such. I think you would love the little doll that was sewed on my post today. ; ) Keep on sewing, my friend. It's such a talent, and I appreciate the seamstress very much.
