This was part of my little haul from the country quilt show back in November. I also purchased some holiday gifts for friends and my favorite person. For myself I bought some oven mitts, some used magazines and a book, a couple of fat quarters of fabric, and a kit to make a little gift bag. It was all super cheap, and allowed me to show support for the guild and some of the local vendors.
I saw a lot of things I loved, but I stopped myself from buying them, especially kits and patterns. I already have more kits and patterns than I probably will ever make. It's definitely time to put on the creative shopping brakes.
This didn't make me sad, oddly enough. I'm at peace with the fact I'm a senior now, and living the last part of my life. Of course I'd like to stick around for twenty or thirty more years, but given my health issues that's highly unlikely. How I spend the time I have left on the planet is what's important to me now -- not what I accomplish.
