a list and when I get to 10 I can see if there is anything I would like to buy. Freebies don't count. i don't download that many anymore anyway. This should be interesting to see how my willpower holds out. Anyone want to join me.

I love your diet, but like many diets, will you stick to it? LOL

Yes, even if I'm tempted by the latest design I will make something i already have. Remember I have to get to 10. That should be easier than 10 pounds.
by mary51 01 Oct 2010
Not only easier but much fun than losing 10 pounds. LOL

Sounds a good idea. On this basis it will be an age before I buy again

There is just so much i can do and never got around to. Do I really need to buy just one more? My machine is still in the shop and diet starts as soon as I get it home.So for right now i will not cheat.

Look forward to seeing your finished projects. You might just inspire us to create something.

My hubby would love for me to be on this diet for sure. Thanks for the offer to join you but think I'll pass at least this time around, as I'm already drooling for a few new designs. Good luck on your design diet. Be sure to keep us informed as to your progress. Have a blessed day.

Awhile back there was a challenge going around to lose weight. Everyone got excited and signed up. There was a pretty long list of cuties. Anyone remember that? No one ever talked about it again. Is anyone still in that challenge. i did not sign up because i knew that it was'nt for me.

LOL. If I really ,really find one I just have to have I'll just have to make 10 projects in one day. With the holidays coming it might not be a bad idea.

Never thought of that! Too late to turn back now I have made a commitment. Cuties are placing their bets. Will she last at least one day? We'll see.

First my vision will blur, hands start to shake, start sweating.Get dizzy. Will she crack under the pressure? No one has ever tried it but I could be the first. Maybe? or maybe not. Only 10 projects away from finding out. Stay tuned! LOL.

Yes, maybe the word was rehab.

I am on a diet anyway, what with my embroidery machine broken down. Still it's nice to spend a little time on the forum to keep me in touch!!

Mine is in the shop and i hope to have it back by next week. Then the challenge begins. It is always fun to come here to see what the cuties are up too.

My last buy was from emblibrary happy hour. Got the 5 freebies also, really 10 with both sizes, so I am good for a couple of days.

Good luck. Do you know how hard it is to stay on a diet?
How about you put the money away that you feel like spending every day and save for something special that is not a design?

Hehehe! Good luck dear - but if you get dizzy or are having to fight off the urge to buy - I guess you could just sit done and do all your projects at once and then you could buy the designs when you are finished. Have fun and keep on stitching.

I'm in, too. I've been needing to do something just like this, and it'll be more fun with Cuties ! I'm trying to create my own more, and buy less, so this may be just what I need.

Should we come in and report if/when we fall off the design wagon ? Or just post how long it's been every so often ?

Of course, I just 'bought' several - with my winnings from an Embroidery Library contest ! So I should be good for a while, too.

Good luck, fellow Cuties !

Are you doing the 10 projects before you buy. Just keep a list of the 10 and let us know if you fall off the wagon. This can be done. Lets show them its possible.

Gasp!!!!...............but what if the set you've wanted for absolutely ever comes up????? What then??? What if you can't possibly live without it????
I like those three little words.... 'Freebies don't count'.... I wish you all the luck in the world and thank you for the invitation to go along for the ride but........ willpower was never my strong point so I'd probably be better off just watching from the sideline and cheering you on .... :}

I do a design back-up once a week on a 1Gb memory card, and that is my way of trying to stabilize!! Often have to be very savage; but at least the deleted designs stay in recycling for a while....

Not sure if I could last the distance - but it's a jolly good idea :) At least it gives one an incentive to get sewing.
I did try not to buy any designs for a month but I failed badly.

I know I could not do it for a month,lets see how long I last.

But have you sewn out that design yet? Will you make the project before you buy another.

I don't think I could do that - with just a few months before Christmas ... But, I will try to pair down and continue to organize what designs I do have. I do wish you luck though!!! 4U*

Thank you for your support, now to come up with a plan, ideas are churning in my head oh what will I do first. I'll make my list and check it twice, I'll line up supplies, I'll make notes. Decisions ,decisions.
by chenille 01 Oct 2010
My problem is I have all these ideas at night when I can't sleep,then I'm so tired the next day I don't know where to start!
If I waited to do them all beforeI got another design....well,I guess I would never get another. :-(
