Re: HAED temptation

I have just been mulling through my too full wishlist over at HAED and am thinking that I don't need any but there are at least 5 or 6 that I am feeling the "itch" for. It's been a while since I did a supersplurge. Might have to get some advice from y'all when I've narrowed it down. Several are very different from my usual picks. I quickly left the website and the first "new post" I saw was this one. I'm taking that as an omen that I should definitely get some. I'm so glad that I haven't joined the responsible stitchers' group. :whoop: But I just got an excellent report on my eye checkup so think I should celebrate. (Any excuse will work). To be continued...

same here! I won't be visiting the site since I now know how much time I need to finish a BAP project! I have 6 HAEDs in my stash so will wait until I finish them all first.

I most certainly regret clicking on this one! Haven't even started my first and now not so sure I really want to after discovering the dang thing is over 1.

I'm resisting (famous last words) as I have about 6 in my stash as well.

Speart, they don't have to be over one. I do mine on 22 count Oslo, but you can do them on 14 count, 28 ct over two, anyway you want to! It just makes the finished size different.

Over one is lovely, just in moderation. :) Not sure I want the Village Bookstore to be ginormous, though. Hmmm, Oslo? What's that like as a ground fabric?

Love on Moon Swing
Snow Day
Trespassers Will Be Digested
Beartime Stories
Leffet Papillon

These are what I am deciding between right now. It's totally silly since I won't even say how many I already have. Would take several lifetimes of course to stitch and there are more than enough non HAEDs in my stash too. Any ideas, other than getting them all, would be appreciated.Decisions decisions decisions :tizzy: :tizzy:

I started looking through the new stuff, added a couple to the wish list, then looked at the wish list. Then remembered how many I already have and quit. LOL Just started my first one that I probably bought a couple years ago. Geez.

That's three so far. Good thing I have till the 7th to decide

Liz,
:beg: :beg: I wonder why you can't get this one to show. And I think on another thread you said you cat figure out how to do a link on your iPad. I find it more cumbersome than on my computer but it's the same method. I'm on my iPad now and it's very late here so I'm not going to attempt it, but I think I've done it before. The hard part for me is getting the copying right.

Hmm, I think we can all see where this is heading ... :lol:

ETA: Good grief, Carole, it must be late where you are - I'm already up and you haven't gone to bed yet!

Re the iPad issues, I clicked on the more smilies thing and then on the beg smilie but it didn't load into my message (I can do the normal smilies, it's just the 'extra' ones I have trouble with). And then when I went to the GK website I couldn't see the web address to copy :oops:

One thing I can almost guarantee is that your stash will begin to expand now that you have joined us. Which designs did you get? I'm still debating. Hopefully, I won't debate past the deadline, which has happened to me once or twice before. :oops:

I got Flutter Cat - looks like a Klimt type cat. He got butterflies on his body. Second I got Golden Orchid. But I didn't stop there oh no. Artecy pattern Hummingbirds. Then onto Liz Almond some blackwork patterns. :tizzy:

Do you think I will fit in here? :lol:
