This thread is to help us not buy unnecessary supplies.I failed miserably last month, some were just not needed but could not resist. I will try harder this month.

Mentioned about no buy August, she suggested only buy between 1am and 4am. As asleep then could dream of shopping with no shopping!

I didn’t buy any supplies in July so does that mean I can buy some bits in August?

No buy supplies?? That’s one target I can never hit! It is impossible not to buy even a tiny, little thing that catches my eye.

Well the no buy rule went right out of the window with a very expensive July, maybe I have bought enough so I can join in for August. Trouble is I have new ideas popping in my head all the time so I rush and buy the things I may need, I even bought a number of wood slices from a handmade shop for themed bears. I will try hard this month.
Oh how I can relate to that

It is hard and I should know, lol.
I look on this thread more of a way of stopping and thinking ‘do I need it’, have I checked what I have in stock? The answer to that is usually no, do not know what I have as too much, hence end up buying again!

I do the ‘Spring clean’ - and by the following Spring I’m astounded at how much more fabric I have.
I know what you mean, I have no idea where it all comes from lol
I tend to try and do Autumn or winter after harvesting is finished and those pesky midges have gone.
