Fabriholics Anonymous January Check-In

So - it's time for the check in!

I'm linking up to Rebecca Lynn: Fabriholics January Check-In

Also linking up the the Fabricholics Anonymous Flickr Group

So far, I've finished 22 projects - with out buying any fabric! -- Anything from lanyards, to bedroom curtains, to a t-shirt quilt! Most of them are posted here on the blog, but all of them are posted on my Fabric Fast '14 Pinterest Board

I'm pretty happy with my decision to fast on fabric purchases - so far, so good.

I've also added notions to my list - and I've only bought a couple of things that qualify there:
January 1st - Sulky Sticky+ Tearaway Stabilizer $15.65 (Then I organized a bit and found two more rolls! - Which is why notions are now on my list...)
January 1st - Pinwheels and Daisies Quilt Pattern (from Red Pepper Quilts) $8.50
January 8th - Ginger Seam Ripper Replacement Blades $11.73
January 20th - Babyville Turtle Snaps $6.41

I also went to Target yesterday and found these great little bins in the dollar section:

And used them to transform this mess:


Into this happy little bit of organization:


I still need to work out a solution for the Velcro/Elastic/Zippers/Webbing mess.  The other bins I got yesterday didn't work out as planned so I'll be returning those.

All in all, a very good January so far.  It really feels good to clean up, finish up, and save a little money. Hopefully this feeling continues!
