Have you ever thought what you are going to do with your embroidery design stash? We have so many designs, and yet we add to them rtegularly by buying new designs or downloading freebies.

And some of us even create our own designs to add to this.

I am very sure if I embroider every day of the rest of my life, I will never be able to use all my embroidery designs. In fact, I am very sure I would not be able to use more than a very, very small portion of my collection.

And clipart. I have LOTS of clipart sets, yet add more whenever I can. Why?

It is very simple. I collect beauty. If I feel down, I just page through my clipart and think of what I would like to do with them. How I can make them uniquely mine without violating the licence that came with them.

And then I see these beautiful pictures in my head next to the beautiful pictures on the computer screen.

Or I page through my existing embroidery design stash, and simply enjoy the beauty of the designs. I can spend hours just looking at them, and thinking of what type of project would display each design best.

Why do you keep collecting designs? It would be interesting to know...
