Okay. I like crafts. Always have. Probably always will. I have an art background (even though I work in the statistical analysis field...) and I have always loved to create. You name it, I've probably done it, or have thought about doing it.
Now, I'm in a situation with the new job. I work for a company that supplies a type of crafting supply. (No, not yarn... that's in my alternate dream life...) and I'm seriously considering taking up a new craft. It would be a huge time suck, and potentially money sucking as well. There's some REALLY nice things that I could do...
I don't need another thing to do. More stuff to take up space in my somewhat small house. A small house that's already being overrun by yarn, fly fishing stuff and toys. (I do have to give the boys SOME space...) My time is already stretched pretty thin. Do I want to take knitting time away? No. Can I afford less sleep? No.
Will I do this?
Oh, probably. I have no will power, we have a company store, I get a great discount, and well, I've already bought stuff. I'm so weak...

It is not weakness. It is a sign of immense creativity and your brain thrives on the diversity. By indulging in one, it makes all the other crafts look good, too. Take a break from one, enjoy another and delight in the freedom from going from one to another.
I'm such an enabler.
Indulge yourself!
Oh nooooo...guess you'll just have to buy a bigger house! :)
Oh my goodness! Well, you need a break from all the beige for a while, I guess. ;-)
Now, I am dying to know what new craft you have taken up!
I am similar to you in that I can be enticed to many crafts! I avoided stamping.. making cards for quite some time. But then I succumbed in a BIG way! Oh well, I do enjoy it!
New hobbies are great. Can't wait to see it.
So many knitters talk about running out of space with their stash. Maybe we should rent a storage unit communally and share that space--in nice weather you could leave the large doors open and have a knitting group there, and have days when you do a yarn exchange. Then we could keep more stash without crowding out other family members. One craft benefits another--artistic ventures in one area stimulate creativity in another. So go for it. And show us what you've done.

Company store with discount? Say no more.
