hmmmm - seemed like I used more than that! The year is not over yet.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
That looks something like my annual average too!
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep your records? My insurance man said I needed to keep all my receipts, but I don't know how much fabric goes with each receipt. I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteWoah, I don't think I want to see numbers like that. :S Much more "REAL" when you see it in one place in front of you like that.
ReplyDeleteDH said that when our house sold he would let me have $1,000 for fabric or whatever and wondered if I could spend that. I rolled on the floor laughing hysterically. Uhhhhh, yeah, give me 10 minutes. :D
Lordy bee! You are braver than I. Not to be mistaken for a lack of respect for what you're doing - I admire it utterly. It's just that in my world I decided with my first addiction hobby never to count it up or look back. Dog Showing was pricey and Vet bills sure are depressing. Add to that quilting and, well, I just save and save and save and sing an ode to disposable income at that point. YOUR plan is the mature plan!
ReplyDelete...LOL...oh girl...stop...you are making me crazy!!!...AND making ME realize how much I really spend on this little 'hobby' of mine!!
ReplyDeleteHow on earth do you keep track? I don't WANT to! Good glory! If my husband saw any of those numbers he'd put a lock on my sewing room door!
