My head spins thinking about it all!! And I thought I had allot of books-I have never bought a kit, though. I also seem to amass a hoard of patterns I get off the internet!! I have 3 notebooks full, plus a notebook with just Xmas themed "stuff". I might, someday, go thru those notebooks, and get rid of stuff I no longer want to make, but for now, they can take pride of place on the bottom shelf.
