Well, there's a name for that condition, so you clearly aren't the only one. SABLE - Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy. As for me, I'm taking it all with me, unless one of the boys marries a stitcher that I like...
IF I bought all of the Lady & Unicorn charts, then I would be well past SABLE, as long as #1 is taking me
But as I have Chatelaines and Long Dogs and Ink Circles in there, too, if I'm not SABLE now, I am damn close
And I'm waiting for a DMC sale when I actually have money - which would be June - when soccer is over for a month and before I have to buy school stuff - so I can kit out my Waterlilies that I WILL NOT START ANYTIME SOON (I just like the reassurance of having things kitted and ready to go
).
Though I am tempted, next time Meredith has a sale, to buy this one, just so I know that I have it:

This one is probably much more realistic:

Of course, if money were no object (or the kids decided food just wasn't for them anymore), you know I'd have them all. And Vikki Clayton has the entire DMC line converted to her silks now - see how much trouble I could be in if I tried????? Good thing we don't have credit cards....
