I don't have a problem. I could stop if I wanted to.
Many of you will know that I have a special fondness for crafty crafts, in particular anything related to fabrics and yarn. It's true. It makes me happy.
Recently I had to go to a fabric store again - after a long time, and it was... ah, so inviting. The fabrics are just there on the shelves, but they are calling me... their colors are jumping at me, filling my head with all these possibilities... what I could do with them. And before these ideas can actually form in my brain, they turn into a big ball of excitement and start pumping endorphins all over my body (well, I don't really know if they do that but it sounds more scientific that way) and I'm suddenly so happy. I run to the pattern books and the high continues - oh, all the things I could do, all day long. All the fabrics I could use, the colors that would go together, I would touch them and then when I'm done I could put them on, or hang them on the wall - whatever they turned into. I love the fabric store... and the yarn store. They are so nice to me. They can never really disappoint me. It's like food. Ok, not really, food is better, but fabric stores are a close second.
Am I strange? I guess. Do I care if you think I'm strange? No. I know some will know what I'm talking about. The rest of you who don't... I'm sorry for you.
Ok, not really. ;)
ooh, how right you are :-) BUT, I do know quite a few "addicts" of this sort - I'll tell them to read this, 'kindred spirits' have to know about each other :-))))
Oh, check out www.fashionfabrics.com. I actually took up sewing this winter because of the same fond and fuzzy feelings. The only problem is I suck big time, but I am getting there!
