Seriously, I have a problem

I went to Joann's this morning for ONE skein of purple DMC floss.

I left with 5 1/2 yards of fabric, a bag of buttons, and 3 skeins of floss because I couldn't decide on a color.

Luckily, I never leave home without all of my coupons so it was a deal :) 

But, on a positive note...they had a bolt of the owl interlock that I LOVED last year so I can make LA another cute top this year :)  It's this fabric--and I still have some of the stripe leftover!

Re: Seriously, I have a problem

  • I do that too especially at Hobby Lobby. I go in for one thing and see so much stuff and have to have it :)

    Love that outfit.

  • Oh, that might be as bad as my "I just need navy thread" trip. :)

    Love! I really wish they still stocked that striped knit at mine- it makes me mad that they have it online, but, I don't want to pay shipping and be limited to just one coupon. The owl print is adorable, too- I need to go see if mine has anything new. :)

    DH is my grocery store shopper (it started when I was pregnant and could NOT handle the smell of the store and, well, I just haven't taken it back over LOL).  He is the same way.  But, I keep my mouth shut because I hate going grocery shopping!

    They had a few new knits..but nothing other than the owls that I HAD to have.  They didn't have any of the stripe at my store either...but they were shifting all their bolts to make room for the new stuff, so maybe some cute stuff will come out in the fall line.

  • when i go to any craft store, i have to take a small bag with me... if it doesn't fit in the bag, it can't come home with me! definitely makes me think hard about my purchases!

    btw, LOVE the owls!

    Cool- sounds like it's probably worth a look, at least (being coupon week and all :).

  • I went to Hobby Lobby this week for a ball/skein of pearl cotton and some paint pens for my husband. I came home from JoAnns with 3 skein of pearl cotton, 2 sets of paint pens, batting, fabric pencils and a couple of other items. Yes, I switched stores but in my defense they are pratically right across the street from each other which is really nice except that the grocery store is also on that corner so they are hard to avoid when I don't need anything.

    LOL!  I did that with laundry!  DH did some wash one day and then I had a closet full of Barbie Clothes.  I told him to NEVER touch my laundry again.  He hasn't and I don't touch his either!  Works for me!  That also means that I don't iron! Yes

    That reminds me, I have to go buy DH a new ironing board cover Indifferent

  • I have something that I need to return to JoAnn's, and I keep avoiding it because I know that I will come out with more than I went in with. ;)
  • Yeah, I'm totally like that w/ anything owl related.  Its really hard for me to pass up owl fabric that I see. 

    Can't wait to see what you make out of the owl fabric!

    I thought of you when I was at Joann's last week.lol   They had really cute potholder and towels,, some owl fabric,  and something else that I can't think of right now.  And none of it was at all dorky or old lady....I am super picky and far too cool for that.Cool

    Yes Ohh! I'll have to check that out.  I've been avoiding Joanns b/c I CANNOT spend more money on craft stuff.  But I had time to kill when I was in ATL and went to HL.  In the Thanksgiving stuff they had kitchen towel/potholder sets w/ owls on them, and an apron, and some cute cheese spreaders.  I was good and decided to wait until they put them on sale.
