There.....I've said it out loud. I am a wool-aholic. They say that's the first step in dealing with an addiction. I CAN'T stop buying wool. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a 12 step program for that??Today I told my friend Corinne I didn't think I could visit her for awhile. She just dyed some new colors and I can't look at them.
You see, I was at her house last week to buy 1 small piece of wool. (ONE) But I walk in and I see the large shelves on the wall, with ALL the pretty colors all lined up. I get all flustered, my eyes gloss over and I keep grabbing another piece and then another. Before I knew it I had 5 piles and I couldn't put any of them back. I should note here that I seem to have the same reaction at the car dealership. I go in with the plan to buy a sensible, reasonably priced car and then I spy some hot little number across the lot and its over!
And, god forbid if Sherri at Shabby Sheep posts that she is having a wool sale on etsy! I can't log in fast enough to see if she has anymore of that beautiful stained glass dye.
Whew! It feels good to come clean as an addict. I am NOT going to buy any more wool for awhile.....OK I can definately go 2 weeks. Thats the goal.
As you can probably tell, today was a better day!

You are so funny, I love your Blog. I almost feel guilty when you come to visit I said you don't have to buy the wool I'm just showing you my new colors. You looked like you were having hot flashes with excitement (you had to be there).
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at Skip to My Ewe's new colors and Island Sweet's yard and feeling the same way.
Oh how I understand.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteThank-you for your comments on my blog post! I was thinking of you when I wrote it too. I have a book that has been a huge comfort for me. I will blog about it when I get a chance to post again. Maybe you already have it. The name of the book is: Daily Comforts for Caregivers by Pat Samples. It's a wonderful little book with a reading for each day. Loved your post about the wool buying! Oh man I have been there too! Take Care.......Cathy
