A possible vow February 23, 2007

After spending hours trying to declutter my bedroom, and feeling completely overwhelmed, I had an idea. This idea is one that makes complete sense, yet most crafters never listen to it, pushing it away and saying “NO!”

Why not take a vow to craft using ONLY supplies you already own?

The only exception to this rule would be buying thread to match fabric, and other needed (not wanted) supplies. And maybe buying fabric for clothing, since I usually tend to buy fabric in quantities way too small to make a garment out of.

Has anyone else taken a vow such as this before? How has it worked out for you?

I think I’m going to try it. From now on, I vow to use at least 95% pre-purchased or found craft supplies for all of my projects.

On another note, I received part two of a swap package from SewPixie over on Craftster today! Here are all the goodies together:
Package #2 from SewPixie
Included was cute fabric, two “Tree of Life” pendants, a bracelet, two pairs of earrings, a zipper flower brooch, lip balm, and a Cookie Monster washcloth. What a fabulous package!
