It's amazing how you can pick up just where you left. Julie now lives in Phoenix so we got to see her and I spent the weekend being inspired with/by Melissa. Chris calls her my "expensive" friend. She has balance, knows how to keep a hobby, a hobby. I however, tend to become obsessed with certain "hobbies" that she clues me into. Hence- the "expensive" part. She knows it's ok to make a purse or two. But I can't stop there, everyone I know needs a purse and then I must buy fabric for 50 or so other purses, in the case that I ever find myself with nothing to do. Same for skirts, scrapbooking "stuff" and oh yes, quilts. Can't blame Melissa for that one, quilting obsession I formed all on my own . . . sort of. Like I always say- "it's cheeper than therapy". That one isn't holding anymore though, need a new one. How about "Will work for fabric!"
