Hi, My Name is Sharon, and I'm a Stitch-o-Holic
So I tripled my cross-stitch stash in one go this morning at a garage sale.
*hands head in shame*
WELL, THERE WAS A BOX OF KITS AND STUFF AND THE WOMAN OFFERED IT TO ME FOR $25 AND THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE KITS IN THERE MARKED $15 THAT I WANTED. HOW COULD I REFUSE?????
Don't answer that, please.
And then, while I was pulling the car up to her driveway (I'd parked around the corner and couldn't carry both box and Andrew back by myself), she decided not only to give me the box of kits, but two additional boxes of patterns and books as well.
Hence the tripling, instead of mere doubling.
A closer inspection has revealed that had I paid "listed" price for the kits I wanted, I would have ended up paying something like $75. So I think I did okay. Even if I now have two boxes of cross-stitch books/kits/patterns that I will never, ever, in a million years do anything with.
(The fact that I am unlikely to ever actually stitch everything in my stash is beside the point.)
