Hi Jo , love your new look ! I'm making do with my fabric scraps but I don't even think I've put a dent in them ! I'll just have to keep using them up .
My Mum always quotes my Grandfather (who passed away in the early 50s- so another oldie) that when you give a gift it should be something that you can:
Eat up, Drink up, or Wear out.
It is so true, as we all seem to be given so much "stuff" that we don't need, want, or have anywhere to put.
Jo, love your new look to the blog and the name. The trouble with this motto is that there is so much to use up, maybe we should trade around? Applique just doesn't require that much! I don't think that it will ever go away! ANYONE WANT SMALL SWATCHES OF ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED DIFFERENT FABRICS, THAT DO NOT GO TOGETHER??? Plumcute is weighing her stash to detremine her success, but how do you know when too much is too much? It is going to be an interesting year, I plan on ignoring the motto when it comes to white, and red.... just so you know! Good luck Jo! Big HUGS!!! -Cori

Good plan!
Good motto - you have been redecorating .....
Great motto! I think I need to adopt it as my mantra, especially after the Christmas budget blowout.
Love the word frugality :)

I like it. Its amazing how much money you can save by making do sometimes.
