How much is too much?

I guess that most cross stitchers agree with me and say there is no such thing as "too much" when it comes to stash, but I guess it's getting close when you wonder when and where you ordered all this stuff when walking back from your mailbox... But still, I have an amazing excuse reason to do it now.

This is a picture heavy entry so consider yourself warned...

One night I was eBay hopping and saw certain Prairie Schooler's Christmas pattern, stitched on black and looking amazing, on sale and of course fell in love with it and just had to get it - and as it was quite expensive there (eBay seems to be insanely expensive nowadays when it comes to stitchy stuff) I googled a bit... and found a real store that had it. And it was cheaper than those ones in eBay.

Of course I justified the postages by buying additional goodies with it, being a good stitcher and all. *grin*

Then I found someone who sells discontinued items and other stitchy stuff cheap (which basically means that I am innocent - I really am!)...

And then I wandered to ABC Stitch Therapy's Clearance section...

I have full series of these, but the scan of the third one wasn't good and I realized it after tossing whole haul to my Secret Stash Cave... but they are all great!

Praying Hand's "Blessed With Friends" has some gorgeous samplers and borders even if you don't care about the sentiments. And hey, it was like really cheap! They basically gave it away for free...

There is one sentiment there why I got this and the last pic explains it all. And it was almost free too. *grin*

"Welcome Friends" just popped to my basket because of the design on right corner... biscornu anyone? *grin*

When it comes to stitching I have done absolutely NOTHING in two-three weeks... my right hand has some nasty carpal tunnel symptoms at the moment and all the energy (not much) I have had has gone to other activities (rearranging the apartment).

And it seems I was tagged by Christine. I will get back to it when I get my brain back.
