Well when I pick up the four I got in the thanksgiving sale from the post office later today, my collection will be up to 19 which is quite tame for me. (I have 57 kits from the Country Threads range I sooooooooooo much!)
After reading this and before posting an answer I counted my HAED and I think I have the same problem as you not counting the free ones I have 21. I didn't think I had that many. oooops my bad. (or good). .
Which designs do you have?
Well, I have 3 Ciro Marchettis and 2 Selene Fenech Mermaids. I am planning to buy 2 more Mermaids and 1 more Ciro Marchetti and I was thinking maybe I should restrain myself. I think I'm changing my mind now as I'll still only have 8!
CURRENT WIPs
HAEDs - Bubble Telescope, Floatilla, Rainbow Embrace, Ray of Light, Iron Dragon, Newport Lighthouse
Fractal 239 Aero Chocolate
I have yet to get any
I do have some on my Christmas list though which will be got in the sales if not under the tree on Christmas day. I'm not sure I have enough wall though to let me stitch more than two or three HAEDs. * solution may be getting the builders in *
Now then, if we say that they average 200,000 stitches each and you do 500 stitches a day, you'd finish 17 in 18.63 years. Hmmm - that says to me you can't possibly have enough HAEDS - that's not even 20 years of stitching planned out
I have 30 (that includes the All Hallows Eve freebie) plus one completed
But I don't think there's anything wrong with that - just think if they discontinued some or had problems with some (I had some Auz Larocque on my wishlist before they disappeared!! ) and got rid of them, you would have missed your chance! But if you've got them on paper physically then they're there, ready for whenever you start stitching them!
Mine take up two big lever arch folders!
Well let's see..I now own all 7 of Marta Dahlig's Seven Deadly Sins Series, I own 2 by Melissa Dawn - Sapphire Cat and Key of Enchantment. Then the Julie Fain one's I have are - Celestial Night, Catch A Falling Star, Pixie Dreams, and The Dreamer. Then I have Ash Evans - Chessie, Rachel Anderson's Amanita Muscaria and Pumpkin Pixie and last I have Three Kittens by Judy Mastrengelo.
The only one's I have started are my 3 current WIP's which are Chessie, Catch a Falling Star and Wrath...although I did tell the OH that I was going to start Key of Enchantment after the first of the year.
I do think I will end up buying more of Melissa Dawn's stuff once it gets charted..and there are still a couple of Julie Fain one's I want..I guess it's a good thing I am only 30..that gives me many many more years to attempt to finish these!
