Addicted?

There is a HAED group on Facebook. Which is awesome. There are so many pretty pictures to look at; finishes, work in progress pictures and who can forget people posting all the patterns they've bought (especially if there is a sale.)

Some people say that the group is "enabling" by being supportive of people buying 5,6 or more patterns per sale. I am beginning to wonder if there isn't a touch of "keeping up with the Jonses" in there as well. You know, where you have to show the internetz how hardcore (or whatever) you are because you have 20 patterns, many already kitted to stitch while someone else only has 2! If you only have 2, obviously you're missing something, so get with the program!

I think I have 6 patterns not including current WiP and I have decided to cut myself off. No more buying. These things are going to take YEARS to complete and I've spent way more than enough money on stitchy related stuff already!

Just the patterns, but OMG pretty;

Love, love, love the colors, but I don't know where I would put the finished product.

Foxglove Ball -"Only" the pattern

Road to Oalovah - "Only" the pattern too

I also like to have kits of stuff, so of those 6, 2 are complete material packs that I bought the fabric for;

Treasure Hunt Bookshelf - HAED Material Pack & Fabric

The Dreaming Tree - HAED Material Pack & Fabric

Mini Enchanted Christmas Reindeer - Floss & Fabric

Then I have the ones where I have purchased the floss and fabric, so essentially they are kitted as well ...

Portal to Anywhere - Floss and Fabric too

So now I don't know which I want to start next.

I found HAED because they showed up in a Herrschners catalog and I fell in love with Treasure Hunt Bookshelf (THB.) But Once Upon a Time (a quick stitch portion of Treasure Hunt) is a work in progress right now. So do I want to start Treasure Hunt, or not? Maybe I should start after I finish Once Upon a Time?

Portal would look amazing in my living room, which is why I kitted it up. But which to start? And when?? Do I save Portal for the January Stitch A Long (SAL)? I've never done a SAL before, I assume it's pretty much the same as posting update photos, but everyone starts from scratch.

Also, just to comment here. I only bought 3 patterns during that sale. One of which was the Julie Fain for my sister. The others were Portal and Road!
