Obsessions: What are yours?
Obsessions other than fabric…what are yours? What makes you crazy when you see it? What’s the one thing you can’t resist buying? Maybe clothes, shoes, dishes, thread, floss, scissors, books or magazines? Do you obsess about something else? I can’t be the only one with a few obsessions can I? Fess up! My secret obsession is…
Paper and Pens!
I love pretty notebooks, fine paper, special pens and I just can’t help myself. Last week my UPS man delivered the most wonderful box of paper and pens. It was like Christmas.
I wish you could feel the smoothness of the paper. It’s so yummy. And the colors, can you stand it? Shades of pink, lavender and pumpkin. Heaven help me I can’t wait to write in these. New spiral notebooks for taking notes when I’m working on a project. New spiral notebooks for my “to do” lists and new pens and pencils to write them with.
Check out the pink fountain pen! I picked a brown ink but I could have selected a multitude of colors. And see that pink pencil on the left? It’s perfect for drawing. Who knows what will happen with a pencil like that! To think that I can be inspired by a new notebook or pen! I’ll share my shopping site for pens and paper just in case you obsess about these too…JetPens.com.
And if you obsess about Dresden plate quilts…while I was busy thinking about what to write in my new notebooks I found 1 more Scrappy Plate Kit…it’s on my website.
If you have a Dresden obsession like me, just visit my Flickr group. I’m there every morning to see if any new plates have appeared. Best thing is it doesn’t cost any money and you don’t have to hide it from your husband!
Back soon!

I love quilt magazines and dark chocolate I have a hard time staying away from them in the store and buying them. I have soooo many quilt patterns from magazine that I have organized them into large 3 ring binders by types of quilts. I love to look at them,

I could admit to being obsessed about everything on your list, too! I also love, love, love hardware stores! (especially the ‘old-fashioneed’ kind – but Home Depot works for me too!)
I adore wonderful paper, pens, stationery – a Paper Source store opened recently near me and I just drool looking at those lucious papers. Swoon!
then there is fabric – well, I know I don’t have tell anyone who reads this blog about fabric!!! A shared obsession by all!
Thanks, Anne, for making us all feel a bit better ‘cuz we know we’re not alone :).
