Too much love for the fabric.

So, I have a crap load of fabric, new and thrifted, (well a crap load for me, my stash is not that crazy) and ideas to make things, but can not bring myself to make something. I can not for the life of me, get myself to CUT the fabric that I love so much! I don't want to screw it up. I feel like I buy the fabric because I love it, it's art, and it's so hard to use scissors on it. I spend money on something and I want to know that I'm gonna make something wonderful with it. I love sewing and I love to see what I can create, but it just takes so much for me to get there! Am I the only one who has this problem?!? I told Zach that if I could just buy and buy and buy fabric and just look at it and touch it, I'd be a happy women. Ergo(who says ergo??), I've figured out that I need to have a cute fabric store one day. Wouldn't that be perfect?!? I sure think so:) Zach was so kind to remind me of my other dream, to own a candy shop(back from the days when I used to be chunky and all I could think about was junk food) and I assured him that this fabric store would have a candy corner! Not sure he's with me on that one....
Wow, that was a rambly post, sorry. I guess I had to get that one off my chest.

if i knew i could go shopping in a fabric store and love everything i see, i'd go! so many times you go and find only a few things you actually like and the rest is just blah. you'd have the perfect fabric store WITH candy corner to keep the kids entertained while the moms ooogle over your gorgeous designs. :) it could totally work!
