Art Supplies

I seem to find myself in this predicament all the time: I go to an arts and crafts place like Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc, and I want everything there that I absolutely don't need. Just the other day, I saw a tiny fake bird, some packets of micro-glitter, fat quarters of patterned fabric, and a bunch of sketchbooks and had to sadly walk past them all because I'm not some rich savant with hundreds of dollars to spend on things I. Don't. NEED.
On the rare occasion when I DO have some extra cash to spend on things for myself, I either can't decide on what I really want or I end up buying the thing(s) I wanted only to go home and realize I have nothing to use them for, hence why I have seven sheets of red and orange felt on my desk right now that I bought months ago.
Does anybody else have this problem?

Yes, I have to restrain myself even by checking eBay I am restricting myself. I hate it. I like to buy those crafts and make something whatever. lol

I'm the same way, and then I end up hoarding it all thinking, "I'll use it someday" but never do. Maybe you could look up DIY projects for extra felt or any other craft things you've brought home? Or you could join a subscription box that sends art supplies, that way you just get what you get in the mail once a month rather than buying a bunch of things.
Art supplies are too hard to resist!

Since it's close to Halloween I've been thinking of making felt pumpkins! I've been a little fearful about joining a subscription service because after watching some unboxing videos of different boxes, sometimes you get stuff you don't want or similar items.

I have the same problem, I have lots of craft supplies, that I still didn't use. When I see the supplies at the shop, I say to myself maybe I can use it. Sometimes you found that craft supplies again, so maybe that is one reason that I buy them.
