I don't know what you do when you are stressed out/depressed/anxious/just need a break/or getaway but I like to shop! I don't like to shop for clothes though, and it definitely shows. For real. Sign me up on What Not to Wear, and I will thank you later. But I do like to shop for fabric!!!
I was having a downer kind of day awhile back, so I bought a little perk me up. I hope there isn't a correlation between the amount of goods I buy with the amount of depression I feel. Haha!
Here's what I got.
Scrap Pack
I love the little paper hat tutorial!
Solid Scrap Pack

I really love this print. It's large and beautiful, and it has chevrons.

After a purchase like this, I just tell myself I got more for my money. I could have bought a little black dress for x amount of dollars or buy fabric for the same amount of dollars and make 5 dresses! See, justification can be a good thing at times.
What do you like to do on the days you are feeling down?

I just did the same thing yesterday... Except I was ordering $10 of thread and I thought, "If I spend $35, it's free shipping... Oh, everything is 25% off if I spend $150? Don't mind if I do!" At the end of the month, "Oh crap, how am I going to pay my credit card bill??" haha
ReplyDeleteMYGOSH!!!! You are not going to believe this but I buy material too!!!! and the funny thing is I actually have some of the same patterns as you do..Fabric Ville is my favorite place to shop.
ReplyDeleteI have bins down in the basement and I haven't looked at them in over a year.. I must take them out and use them on cards! Thank you for this post!I am a new follower
Cute fabric!!! I wonder what you'll make with it........ :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm grumpy I go to Homesense and/or eat a whole row of oreos. hee hee!
I do exactly. the. same. thing... Fabric shopping eases stress and anxiety around here :) There's nothing better than getting a present in the mail, and that's how I do it!
ReplyDeleteUm, yes. I buy fabric when I'm down. And I definitely buy more fabric when I'm being nonproductive-- like right now. I love all those field study fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYou probably know that I love fabric. I LOVE other peoples scraps most of all! You did awesome! Inlove with the paper airplanes and AMH! Playing with fabric, petting it, staring at it, rolling..Anyway I got some scraps this week myself. Ill be blogging later. Let's just say-JACKPOT!
ReplyDeleteoh lucky you! I like to go shopping too - when not hugely pregnant lol. but If I had $ for retail therapy right now I'd buy the sarah jane out to sea line.. oh gosh that fabric is begging to be made into a ruffled something dress for the girl (soon to be girls)
