I give in to temptation soooo easily!!

Post by Dazbo666 »

We went do one of our local Hobbycraft stores this morning - initially just to get a jigsaw puzzle holder for my step-daughter....

Well, while having a quick look around, I eventually decided that I absolutely must have some more stash :shock: :wink:

I got myself a couple of A4 sheets of 14ct plastic canvas, in preparation for stitching some Xmas tree decorations
then decided that I also must have a small Anchor kit of a black labrador that looks just like our dog Harry
and also saw a really nice Demensions Gold kit called Ocean Friends

I've realised lately that I seem to have a bit of a soft spot for charts and kits involving domestic dogs, big cats, wildlife, and dolphin projects.

However I'm a big believer in aesthetic appeal, so I think you can't surround yourself with enough beautiful projects :wink:

I dont know, but it's a terrible thing. I wonder if there is a support group for it :thinks:

@ *barb*, I'm sure there must be a Stashaholics Anonymous group set up somewhere
"Hello my name is Dazbo and I'm a stash-a-holic"
I was just about to suggest starting up a group on this forum, then thought better of it. Setting up a stashaholics group on this forum would be like holding an AA meeting at a brewery!! LOL *hic* :oops:

@ topbiddy, the leopard is on temporary hold until I get the Evening Star train project finished for my FIL's birthday ... which is in, oooh, it's only 2 weeks away :shock: :doh:
