I very, very rarely splurge, but when I do, it seems to be in a big way, like new bedroom furniture after my divorce lol. But you know what, by saving up the "splurges", when I do splurge, it is for something that I really, really love and I don't regret spending the money or making the purchase.<br /><br />Glad you had such a fun day! Getting away on the spur of the moment is a splurge too, especially with the schedule that you keep!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264008817537561201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-53639166826733691962011-12-17T06:18:12.577-05:002011-12-17T06:18:12.577-05:00Sometimes the best times are those that pop up spo...Sometimes the <i>best</i> times are those that pop up spontaneously...

I break out once in a while and go "whole hog" as they say - an iPad or a new do everything iPhone and then I won't buy thread unless it is on sale. I'm having great fun with Orca Bay - about a third of the way through part 5 and finished 1 - 4. I may actually be making a dent (even if a small one) in my scraps! Thanks for a fun mystery.Mickieraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980857751711764346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-30447023581256296732011-12-16T23:40:20.916-05:002011-12-16T23:40:20.916-05:00Bonnie, I completely understand the not being able...Bonnie, I completely understand the not being able to splurge syndrom! I do the same thing....leave it in the store because I just can't convince myself I need it bad enough to spend the money and bring it home. I guess that's not all bad though.....more funds for fabric is how I see it. That book sounded really good. Never tried an audio book but just may have to do it.Granny Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568080035366109375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-27511941513777455372011-12-16T23:03:12.927-05:002011-12-16T23:03:12.927-05:00Bonnie, is your mother doing the Orca Bay mystery?...Bonnie, is your mother doing the Orca Bay mystery?

Need a time machine or Scotty to beam me there!<br />I've been working on a sampler quilt that came in a kit. I'm afraid that I will get the pieces mixed up so I'm doing it one block at a time. Very little chain piecing sure makes it take much longer...but I do have a nice pile of 4-patch leader and enders blocks.<br />Enjoy your weekend. It sure started nice.debbie mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500909471875374939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-37863690013773282702011-12-16T19:48:23.994-05:002011-12-16T19:48:23.994-05:00where is the closest ikea?where is the closest ikea?beaquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854296867039522197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19206447491379476382011-12-16T19:44:03.875-05:002011-12-16T19:44:03.875-05:00Bonnie, just wondering..do you ever do other Quilt...Bonnie, just wondering..do you ever do other Quilters mystery or challenge quilts?
