Yes, Paula, I knew what you meant. I thought the same thing when I initially read this news item...but I thought it was news worthy anyway.
I am a compulsive shopper...just check out my bank account...LOL.
Can go into a needlework shop for a package of needles and just come out with that, I have to buy whatever I can't resist.
Sounds like small potatoes, but it is not.
One specialty piece of linen can cost from $50 to over $100, and thread/fibers can be up to $7 a spool...and one project could need 20 or more of those fibers. You do the math.
I am still working on one project that cost me $235 in total. I am determined to finish it because of the cost.
