It really is OT. I was sort of good in October -- I fell off the wagon once in a very small way. And, I had to buy fabric for my son's Halloween costume -- but I hardly think buying 13 yards of flaming solid red fabric counts. LOL. Now it's November (almost) and I am still wanting to be careful. BUT.....I have a really odious and difficult and potentially embarrassing task I must attend to. It has to do with a phone call and money and people on the other end who aren't necessarily pleasant and so forth. I've put it off for weeks and now it's dire. Sooooooooooooooooooo I've decided that if I take care of this today, I'm going to reward myself in a big way. That means a MAJOR shopping "trip" to Fabrictales.com. I think this will help me get through something truly horrible. If I make it, I will post and let you know that I've accomplished something major and that I'm going to be receiving a "carrot" of substantial value. And when it gets here, I'm putting aside all my other projects and making something special just for me from the stuff I'm planning on buying. I'll post the URL of my shopping cart.
Do you do the same? Do you use fabric to get yourself through tough times, events, ugly tasks? I'd like to hear your stories of using fabrid/quilting as a carrot when you know that a stick wouldn't get the job done.
