OH I do this as well, I've got a ton of projects started right now.I like the huge BAPs that take years to do....mostly because I tend to cross stitch in the summer when it too hot to mess with quilting or much machine sewing and the big pieces of fabric for cutting.
I love TW's, Mirabilia's, MLI's, and have started on HAED's and am very happy I bought a ton of CS related stash during more solvent days because it's paying off during my DH's recent lay-off and current under-employment situation,lol All I have to do is shop my stash! :D
