One of the fabric stores my wife frequents is going out of business, because the owner died. One of my wife's friends (a school teacher, believe it or not) paid $1k for material, which by this time in the sale was 90% off. Crazy. I consider myself fortunate that my wife only dropped about $500. I do wood working and wood carving and do my best to spend as little as possible, including buying furniture from the local Habitat store as a source for wood. I don't spend that much in a multiple-year span. I'm going to have to up my game, I guess.
Other than some finishing odds and ends, this should keep me busy through the end of the year. A couple projects that are already in progress, or planned, will be gifts so that's a plus.
Keeps me off the streets.
