No Buy February (supplies)

I bought some lovely linen fabric from Lynn @erkinwald - does it count if it is from another member’s destash, surely that’s just sharing with a little financial recompence?

Also, I saw this today, I thnk we can all stick to this challenge.

I may have to cave on the supplies, yesterday I broke my absolutely favourite and oldest watercolour fine brush, I am bereft, It was my go to for the detail in my floral work and although I have others it just felt right. So am I allowed to order a replacement? Or will I have to wait for another 5 days :cry:

@Thecraftycurioshop you are very welcome😄 retail therapy of supplies that are bought for their cuteness value from a fellow folksy shop shouldn’t count as they are aiding my mental wellbeing and helping Folksy😆 it also shows my will power to not buy supplies is why my stash never goes down😆

Welcome Binny.

Some have been good others are now residing on the naughty step stuffing cakes!

Think may continue with a new thread in March, if it helps a few all good.

I have just finished sorting card blanks, envelopes and bags. No more card blank buying have enough to last the next 2 years. Already made the basic x as cards for some need to still make the special ones.

I’ve failed again :disappointed: I was already on the naughty step :see_no_evil: in my defence it’s now less money for the tax man and 60+ balls of yarn for my stash - it was a very good offer

I like your thinking, but it doesn’t wash with me :rofl:
Back to the naughty step, although I’ll see you all there later as I’m off shopping up the town this morning, lots of opportunity to slip up there, I’ll get cake :cake:

I’ve just been out and stocked up with 250 card blanks as I was completely out of 2 of my most popular sizes.

I did get 20% off with a further £5 for downloading the app so not too bad for essentials I thought.

I’m ready for no buy March now :grin:

Time to confess, I bought two new paint brushes and some backing card, in a colour I don’t already have, so given I broke a brush and needed to replace it and both the second brush and card were things I don’t already own does that count?
I also bought an M&S Victoria sponge - still can’t find Bramley apple one - just in case :grin:

Brushes etc are necessities, card an indulgence and cake from M & S also a necessity.

I have bought again but this time it was essential as I needed it for an upcoming event this weekend and it was boring interfacing.

I was tempted though as I saw some wool in a sale bucket and I picked it up, had a feel and squashed it (only knitter’s and crocheters will understand) and put it back. My daughter was watching me and said afterwards that she was very impressed with my will power!

The box of glass is sitting in the outside loo (where the delivery people leave things if we don’t get to the door in time). If I leave it there until Friday will that absolve me ?
Failing that I could sit on the outside loo for an hour as a naughty step… but it is very cold out there so please take pity

OOOOPS just remembered … while in bed last night I decided I also needed some clear backed dichroic as can’t understand why I have no big pieces. (do garage mice eat glass ? ) so I ordered some via my phone (as the warm glass website has a virus according to my laptop so stops me ordering…)
