I'm not blond, but sure ditzy. I did the one eyeglass case last night and fell in love. Working on the second this morning and it suddenly dawned on me that I had these designs and had done them both on glass cases before. Do I feel stupid!!!! So going to finish this one and give them both away. Have to work on something else. And next is going on the back of a sweat shirt.

I do love web sites that tell you if you have already purchased a design. If I like it , I am subject to but it again. Than is another reason to keep your designs in folders of each web sites. I did not do this at first and yes i do have categories but I do keep them together now. Ihave also bought the same dresses twice for my granddaughters. Thank goodness i keep the tags and tickets!

You are not alone!!
I bought a design book three times once. err over the space of a few years that is - it just shows that you really like that design.

Don't worry everyone has done something like this once or twice.. I'll put my hand up!

You obviously loved the design when you first saw it. No need to feel stupid.

You must have enjoyed stitching them and now you have some gifts to give. It is amazing how we get drawn to certain colors and designs to the point, like Bev said that we order them again. All that is important that you enjoyed the time with your machine.

Nothing succeeds like success. It stitched well before and agai this time!

Just keep on "little lady" for the fun of it if nothing else. You'll have a couple of gifts on hand in case you need one/Lillian

I know that there are two someones who will love to get those pretty cases. No need to feel stupid. You were just thinking ahead.

I like some so much I sometimes buy them twice. not on purpose of course I just forget I already had it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this.

Guilty of this one too.. I just thought it was all the blonde hairs my kids gave me..

I am guilty of this!! As I am spending my kids' inheritance at Embroidery Library, I sure am glad they put up a red flag to let one know a design has already been purchased!! LOL Has saved this "ditzy blonde" a bundle!!

Don't feel badly it just shows what good taste you have in designs and what was pretty or unique or drew you to that design the first time is still there...the magic!

You had good taste before & still do!! You still love the design!

I guess we think alike and I was typing with you. ****s for everyone.

Looking forwards to seeing what you are sewing

We all have our favorite designs...no need to feel stupid. Now, you can just share the beauty.
I can't wait to see what you stitch next!
