Collector of "stuff"

I don't know what it is about me; when I want to start a new hobby, I go crazy buying "stuff" without making sure I would really enjoy the hobby itself.

Couple years ago, a friend of mine was teaching some of us how to do beading and making our own jewelry and all that. I get all into it and buy up all the beads and supplies I can get my hands on. The joy of learning how to do beading quickly faded and now I'm stuck with a basket (Longaberger of course) full of beads... big beads, little beads, seed beads... you name it, I probably have it.

Cookie baking and decorating, another hobby I bought out the stores with. However, this is a hobby that I do still enjoy but figured that I can't do all the time because my butt can only grow so much. So I only do that for special occasions. But I still have every decorating tip and cookie cutter out there.

And scrapbooking - don't even get me started on scrapbooking!

Now sewing/quilting. I really enjoy it but I was looking through all my stuff last night to re-organize it a bit since it was all over the place. Look at the all patterns I have...

I'm a novice at the sewing machine. Do I truly think I'm going to make something out of each and every one of these patterns?!? I'm sure the experienced sewer/quilter out there has a lot more patterns than I do but I'm looking at this from the perspective of a person who has only owned her sewing machine for almost 6 months.

Sigh. Looks like I better get cracking!
