Should I go to the fabric store

Even though I have no money to spend on fabric and I haven't sewn anything since Christmas?

1. Yes.

There's been too much rain and gray skies and you deserve a treat.
I just bought fabric myself for that reason and my sewing machine is collecting dust.

2. I need to go, myself.

I bought a beautiful hand-woven blanket at the pow wow a couple of weeks ago...I'm using it as a table cloth, and I need to find some kind of southwestern-designed fabric to make stool covers for my breakfast table.

3. Yes

Because even if you don't buy anything it's fun to look around. I go sometimes and get ideas then go home and draft things out and plan things that will probably never be made. It's fun.
