I too have this addiction. But I can always justify buying. We live about an hour for our nearest cross stitch supply store so I buy things I might need in the near future. Of course I take my 40% off coupon so I can save, I even have my husband take a 40% off coupon just in case I NEED two things. I also go to garage sales and buy all the magazines I can find that have cross stitch, hardanger or just nice pictures that I can turn into patterns. I have almost all the DMC threads, that way I don't have to go all that way for 1 or 2. I buy aida when it goes on sale, that's something we always need, right? I have to admit I also do this with material & sewing patterns.
