HAED sale - Who's buying what???

[rcperryls]

I caved. Sweet Chap and Hey Sis Did You Hear Thathave made it into pdfs on my hard drive. I need a self-help group.

I'll join you Carole. I managed to acquire Ballerina sisters, cello storm and the music lesson before my stash buying prohibition starts.

[BookNerd]

Add me to that list. I am a weak individual. I got I Think I Saw A Fairy.

Not a minute after I bought it, I got an email about a sale on mini's.

[Charmed]

I saw the sale on minis on Facebook, I got so excited I rushed straight over and brought mini Snow White And Alice..... just an hour ago I was debating with myself whether to buy it or not. I came to the conclusion that there is never a sale on minis so there was no rush. Glad I waited, I love this one..... its printing off as I type

[jocellogirl]

Sale on minis. Oh no

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

OOOOOHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO!

Looks like 3 minis are going in my basket!

[destructiveernie]

Nothing wrong with building up the stash!

I was looking at Curl Up With A Good Book too.

Edited to add... yup... caved again.

min Giggles and Whispersand mini Hammock White Tiger
have also found there way onto my hard drive in the HAED chart folder. I am done hopefully for a good long while. My excuse is that it is no different than in those days when I browsed through the LNS and bought books of charts by Teresa Wentzler and other designers and never did all of them either. Right?

Great charts Carole! I love the tiger one - although I think the panda is my favourite (but that isn't a mini....yet!) - they are by the same artist as Book End Kitties. I bought the 3 minis that I have been after - DH said why are you looking at that site AGAIN! I pointed out that he has no idea what HAED addiction is - compared to my forum friends I have a very mild case!

[destructiveernie]

I'm still trying to not buy the Randal Spangler storykeeps and now Mini A Good Book!!!

[LadyS]

NO! I will NOT go check out the minis, I will NOT go check out the minis ....

[rcperryls]

Did you go check the minis? They have not been on sale before.
I am hoping to be able to grid 28 ct fabric and tent stitch. I have three now as I already had mini Be Good for Goodness Sake. If not, they are minis and will go faster than full charts.

I had mini The Black in my cart, but backed out right before finishing the buy. Victory is mine!

I really need to save my next HAED buy for when/if Ophelia gets charted, as I have another BAP I plan to stitch in the near future, and 2 more HAEDs, as well as several non HAEDs, so I need to stay strong so I don't get tempted to start more stuff (can't start it if I don't buy it).

Besides, my 123 Stitch gift card should get here this week, and that was for 100 bucks, so I'll be getting a couple of charts for new starts, plus fabrics and threads for charts that are half kited up already. I'll have my stash addiction quenched soon, so I must be strong!

(can't start it if I don't buy it)

Good for you Laura - just think of those lovely silks! I only caved today because the minis went on sale and I knew I really really wanted them and would have bought them soon anyway - but at 35% off it was hard to resist (I haven't bought a HAED since July, I'm strict with myself too!) That and the fact that I priced up a Chatelaine I am interested in doing today and compared to that 3 minis are a drop in the ocean - I may be sticking with HAEDs for a while.......! I also tell myself the same thing especially where Chatelaines are concerned - if I don't buy it I can't start it!

Can you please teach me how to be strong and resist such things?

Whoa. Nice gc at 123 Stitch!!

I'm not that strong. But what I do when I get tempted (almost lost it just now though) is go to my stash box and pull out charts, fabrics and threads that I hope to use soon, it reminds me that I don't need one more HAED right now.

The GC I'll be using fully as soon as it gets here! Several things I've been putting on my wish list for a while now, that end up adding up to quite a bit (4 pieces of fabric, one stocking kit, 30 skeins of thread, and one Lizzie Kate and one Alessandra Adelaide).

[marniecat]

Might I just respectfully say, you all are out of control!

But I love living vicariously through you and seeing all of these lovely patterns that you are purchasing!

Have fun with your new charts everyone!

For me, I just bought more on the last sale than I know what to do with, so I have no room to talk. I am resisting the sale this time around, I have enough to keep me busy for years!
