Too much is when it interferes with the enjoyment. I have backed off on patterns as I have learned there is always one more that comes out or I discover just when I thought I found the "one". The list of patterns I am just can't wait to get started was getting to be a burden. Tools and gizmos .. I pretty much gotten my fill of the latest .. having been burned by their lack of delivering the "life changing" value. Now fabric ... all I can say is my output needs to catch up to the input.
