the gateway drug


Etsy is the gateway to all sorts of compulsions and obsessions. I swear I'm developing one (or two, or three) with fabric. But it's not to sew with it; I just want to hoard it, and organize it, and color code it, and never use it! What is the problem with that?
This little pile came in the mail today, from an etsy seller. I was so overjoyed at the cheerful bright color and the screaming sunshine and the green grass that I went out to take a shot of it. Maybe that is my new plan... photograph it, then I'll always "have" it, thereby freeing me up to actually sew with it.
I wonder what is internally set up in me that makes me this way? Greedy, hoard-y, obsessive, possessive, acquisitive, and selfish. Unfortunately it's not just with fabric. Wish I could give up myself for Lent.

Those are awesome prints!

Aren't those dear? If you see them around, grab 'em... they're done with their printing. I'll pay you handsomely. :)
