You'll Either Laugh or Cry

Or maybe both.  Check out the post on Stash Manicure today. 

I was feeling so good about myself...hadn't succumbed to buying even one of the items mentioned.  And then she came to the magazines.  When we were putting in the new floor last month I had to move stacks and stacks of magazines out of the kitchen where they'd been quietly multiplying for years. 

A VERY small part of them

Hard to believe how many I have.  I'm still trying to sort and get rid of them.  But of course that means looking through each one because if I get rid of it without doing that...well you know that the ONE, FANTASTIC QUILT THAT I JUST HAVE TO MAKE, will be patterned in it.  Right....Or worse yet, I might wake up some morning and realize I want to make a quilt and  have absolutely no patterns on hand or inspiration available.  Right? 

It's snowing again here this morning and I'm trying hard not to think that we could be in Hawaii right now if I'd saved the money spent on all those magazines!  Seriously!!!

Aside from the mags, my one serious gadget blunder has to be the John Flynn Frame.  Anybody else make that mistake?  Or perhaps there are some of you who bought it and loved it.  I bought it..never used it and never will.  Definitely a "what was I thinking" purchase precipitated by watching him too many times on Simply Quilts.

So what are your biggest gadget mistakes?


Edited to clarify Feb 8:


When I said I never used it, I meant I never quilted a quilt with it. I did try it out.
